Product Description
24S,25-Epoxycholesterol is an agonist of liver X receptor (LXR). 24S,25-Epoxycholesterol has the properties of regulating cholesterol efflux, inhibiting tumor growth of gastric cancer and glioblastoma, and inducing apoptosis of BMMC cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (1-10 μM) upregulates LXR-related genes ABCA1, ABCG1, and APOE, promotes cholesterol efflux, thereby preventing foam cell formation, and blocks the proliferation of mouse and human glioma stem cells by eliminating cellular cholesterol[1][3]. 24S,25-Epoxycholesterol inhibits the proliferation and migration of HGC27, which is enhanced by knockout of LXRβ[2]. 24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (40 μM) inhibits HMG-CoA reductase and activates LXR, thereby inhibiting mevalonate-dependent isoprenoid production and enhancing ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 expression, inducing apoptosis of bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells (BMMC)[5].
ln Vivo
24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (5 mM, intracerebroventricular injection) can enhance neurogenesis and limit neurodegeneration in midbrain dopamine neurons (mDA) in CYP46A1-overexpressing mice [4].

Additional Infomation
24(S),25-epoxycholesterol is a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid that is desmosterol in which the double bond at position 24-25 has been oxidised to the corresponding epoxide (the 24S diastereoisomer). It is an oxysterol agonist of the liver X receptor. It has a role as a liver X receptor agonist. It is a cholestanoid, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid and an epoxy steroid. It is functionally related to a desmosterol.

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)
