Product Description
L6H21, a Chalcone analogue, is an orally bioavailable and specific myeloid differentiation protein (MD-2) inhibitor. L6H21 directly binds to MD-2 protein with high affinity, with Kd of 33.3 μM, blocking the formation of LPS-TLR4/MD-2 complex. L6H21 inhibits LPS-induced expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW264.7 macrophages with IC50 of 6.58 and 8.59 μM, respectively. L6H21 may be utilized in the research/study of alcoholic liver disease, metabolic disorders and neuroinflammation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In RAW264.7 cells, EtOH + LPS-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial damage are inhibited by L6H21 (10 μM, 2 hours) [1]. Attenuating EtOH + LPS-induced ROS generation and TLR4–NF-κB activation, as well as reducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation, are the effects of L6H21 (10 μM, 2 hours) [1].
ln Vivo
Hepatic steatosis, liver damage, and EtOH + LPS-induced hepatic fat formation are all successfully inhibited by L6H21 (10 mg/kg, oral gavage, daily) [1]. L6H21 (0-40 mg/kg, orally, daily for 4 weeks) has been demonstrated to provide neuroprotective benefits in a prediabetes model and to attenuate metabolic derangements, restore cognition, and decrease brain pathology in HFD-fed rats in a dose- and time-dependent manner[2].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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
