Biological Activity
| ln Vitro |
Aloesin (0-40 μM, 24, 48, and 72 h) inhibits the growth of ovarian cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent way[1]. Aloesin (0-10 μM; 48 h) dose-dependently arrests the cell cycle at S-phase in SKOV3 cells[1]. Aloesin (0-10 μM; 48 h) induces cell death in SKOV3 cells[1]. Aloesin (0-10 μM; 48 h) prevents the MAPK signaling pathway from becoming phosphorylated[1]. |
| ln Vivo | Aloesin (injection; 20 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg; once daily; 7 w) reduces the growth of tumors in an ovarian cancer xenograft model[1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
6-week-old athymic nude mice injected with SKOV3 cells 20 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg Injection; 20 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg; once daily; 7 weeks |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: 78~270 mg/mL (197./~684.6 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (5.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 22.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (5.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 22.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (5.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 22.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
