Product Description

Triptolide (also known as NSC 163062), a diterpene triepoxide, is an immunosuppresive agent extracted from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii. Ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 and A2780 were treated with triptolide at a concentration of 15 nM, which prevented the cells' invasion and migration. In ovarian cancer cells, triptolide reduced the expression of MMP7 and MMP19 in a dose-dependent manner from 0 to 15 nM. Additionally, triptolide increased the expression of E-cadherin in ovarian cancer cells, which had an impact on cell invasion and migration.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MDM-2/p53 (IC50 = 47-73 nM); HSP90
ln Vitro
Triptolide is a diterpene triepoxide with strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. The purine-box/nuclear factor and NF-κB mediated transcription activation of IL-2 in activated T cells is shown to be inhibited by triptolide. [1] At incredibly low concentrations (2–10 ng/mL), triptolide prevents the growth and colony formation of tumor cells. Triptolide inhibits the growth of HL-60 leukemia cell line, stomach, and breast cancer cells. By inhibiting NF-κB activation and making tumor cells more susceptible to TNF-&alpha-induced programmed cell death, triptolide causes apoptosis in tumor cells. [2]
ln Vivo
In animal models, triptolide and cyclosporin A work together to promote graft survival and prevent graft versus host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplants. Additionally, by suppressing the induction of c-IAP2 and c-IAP1, it causes tumor cells to undergo apoptosis and enhances tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis. [1] [3] The growth of xenografts made of four different tumor cell lines (B16 melanoma, MDA-435 breast cancer, TSU bladder cancer, and MGC80-3 gastric carcinoma) is inhibited by triptolide treatment for two to three weeks, demonstrating that TPL has a wide range of activity against tumors that contain both wild-type and mutant forms of p53.
Cell Assay
The survival of differentiated PC12 cells given various doses of triptolide. Differentiated PC12 cells are cultured on 96-well plates with RPMI 1640 medium for stabilization before being exposed to Triptolide at various concentrations (0.01, 0.1, and 1 nM) for 24 hours. The study's concentrations have been selected. Next, the MTT assay is used to determine cell viability. Three times each condition and experiment are performed[3].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Male BALB/C mice weighing 18 to 22 g are employed. The following four groups of mice (n=5 in each) were used to collect blood and tissue samples for the triptolide (TP) plasma kinetic study and toxicological assessment: (1) the normal+saline group; (2) the 1.0 mg/kg Triptolide+15 nmol negative control (NC) siRNA-siRNA group; (3) the 1.0 mg/kg Triptolide+15 nmol mdr1a-siRNA group; and (4) the 1.0 mg/kg Triptolide+10 mg/kg Tariquidar group. Triptolide and the inhibitor are given intravenously to mice to prevent complications brought on by drug absorption or a potential intestinal first-pass effect. Two days prior to the dose of triptolide, the siRNA group receives an intravenous injection of NC-siRNA or mdr1a-siRNA. For the mice in the triptolide+tariquidar group, a dose of intravenous tariquidar is administered 20 minutes before the triptolide injection. At 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes following the administration of Triptolide, blood samples are taken. Another group of mice were given Triptolide, and liver tissue samples were taken at 5, 30, 60, and 120 minutes later to determine the liver exposure. Three Triptolide groups, including Triptolide+NC-siRNA, Triptolide+mdr1a-siRNA, and Triptolide+Tariquidar, are planned for this experiment. Weighing the liver tissue samples is followed by homogenizing them in 10 volumes (w:v) of ice-cold saline. A tested LC-MS/MS technique is used to determine the levels of triptolide in plasma and liver tissue.

  • 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
