Product Description
Palmatine is an orally bioactive, irreversible IDO-1 inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 3 μM and 157 μM for HEK 293-hIDO-1 and rhIDO-1, respectively. Palmatine also noncompetitively inhibits West Nile virus (WNV) NS2B-NS3 protease with IC50 of 96 μM. Palmatine has anticancer, anti~inflammatory, neuro-protective (neuro-protection), antibacterial, and anti-viral effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The effects of palmatin (0-100 μM; 42 h) include the inhibition of WNV (EC50 value: 3.6 μM) and the reduction of DENV-2 and YFV (EC50 values: 26.4 μM and 7.3 μM, respectively) viral titers [3]. The proliferation of colon cancer cells is inhibited by palmatin (0-1128 μM; 24-72 hours) [5]. Through pathways related to the mitochondria, palmatin (0-704 μM; 24 hours) can cause AURKA protein levels to drop, G2/M phase arrest, and apoptosis in colon cancer cells [5].
ln Vivo
DSS (dextran sulfate sodium)-induced colitis is improved and inflammatory cell infiltration is prevented when palmatine (50 or 100 mg/kg; oral; taken daily for 7 days) is taken [1]. D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced fulminant liver failure in mice can be reduced by palmatin (0-200 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once) [2]. Memory-enhancing effects of palmatine (0–1 mg/kg; i.p.; 10 days) have been shown in mice [4]. Mice HCT-116 xenograft development is successfully inhibited by palmatine (33.75–135 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 26 days) [5].

*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.

  • 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
