Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Prostratin has a Ki of 210 nM and transcribes [3H]PDBu binding to CEM cells [1]. Transcriptional acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines (HL-60, NB4, and U937 cells) are not able to proliferate at concentrations of prostratin (125-1000 nM). In HL-60 cells, prostatretin (125–100 nM) influences cell cycle-related molecules (pRb phosphorylation, CDK, and p21) and causes G1 arrest in AML cells. Prostratin also activates PKC, which causes AML cell lines to become active. Moreover, humidity produced by prostaglandin is necessary for PKC-driven activation of MEK/ERK/MAP signal load [2]. For HIV-1-induced activation, prostatin induction necessitates the active form of PKD3. Moreover, prostratein activates PKD3 via PKCε of the new PKC subfamily [2]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~128.05 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.20 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 12.5 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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.20 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 12.5 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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.20 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 12.5 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.) |
