Ferruginol (0-160 μM) has potent antiproliferative actions on thyroid cancer cells, with a 24 hour half-life of 12 μM against the MDA-T32 cell line. It is less evident how harmful Ferruginol is to normal cells [1]. In MDA-T32 cells, ferruginol (0-24 μM; 24 hours) causes apoptotic cell death. Bcl-2 expression is downregulated and Bax expression is upregulated in a dose-dependent manner by ferruginol [1]. In MDA-T32 cells, ferruginol (0–24 μM; 24 hours) suppresses the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways [1]. Additionally, in MDA-T32 cells, ferruginol (0–24 μM; 24 hours) induces ROS-mediated alterations in matrix metalloproteinases [1].

ln Vivo |
Over the course of four weeks, ferruginol (20 mg/kg; oral; daily) exhibits cardioprotective effects that include reduced apoptosis and structural damage and improved heart function. By increasing PGC-1α expression and simultaneously promoting SIRT1, enhancing deacetylase SIRT1 deacetylation, and activating the expression of PGC-1α (MB and FAO), ferruginol promotes PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation, according to transcriptome and other results[3].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] Oral Formulations
Oral Formulation 1: Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) Oral Formulation 2: Suspend in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Example: Take the Oral Formulation 1 (Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na) as an example, if 100 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can first prepare 0.5% CMC Na solution by measuring 0.5 g CMC Na and dissolve it in 100 mL ddH2O to obtain a clear solution; then add 250 mg of the product to 100 mL 0.5% CMC Na solution, to make the suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
