Product Description
Erucin (ERU) is an isothiocyanate that is particularly abundant in arugula. Erucin has anticancer, neuro-protective (neuro-protection), and anti~inflammatory activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Erucic acid (ERU) (0-100 μM) decreases AsPC-1 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner and produces H2S [1]. Erucic acid reduces the G0/G1 phase and increases the G2/M and S phases in the AsPC-1 cell cycle, inhibiting cell migration [1]. Erucin (30 μM, 72 h) slows cell migration and causes apoptosis in AsPC-1 cells [1]. In AsPC-1 cells, erucic acid lowers the amounts of phosphorylated ERK1/2 [1]. With an IC50 of 97.7 μM, erucin (0-200 μM, 24 hours) has anti-proliferative action in A549 cells [2]. In A549 cells, erucin (0-50 μM, 24 hours) enhances p53 and p21 protein expression and causes PARP-1 breakage at 50 μM [2]. Erucin decreases the amount of NO, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β that are produced in RAW 264.7 cells in response to LPS [3]. In RAW 264.7 cells, erucin decreases the production of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) caused by LPS [3]. Erucin prevents RAW 264.7 cells' NFκB signaling from being activated by LPS [3].
ln Vivo
TPA-induced edema formation is markedly inhibited by erucin (ERU) (0-300 nM) [3]. Neuroprotective effects of erucic acid (30 μmol/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly for 4 weeks) have been reported [4].

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
