5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description 4-PBA (4-Phenylbutyric acid) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and a key epigenetic inducer of anti-HCV hepatic hepcidin. 4-Phenylbutyric acid inhibits LPS-induced inflammation through regulating endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy in acute lung injury models.
Targets
HDAC [1]
In vitro

4-PBA inhibits the ER stress induced by SiNPs in RAW264.7 cells, as evidenced by the expansion and degranulation of ER, as well as greatly up-regulated Bip and CHOP expressions.[3]
In vivo

4-PBA attenuates LPS-induced bone loss in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice, by increasing area of TRAP-positive osteoclasts (OCs) and serum level of collagen type I fragments.[4]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]
  • Cell lines

    Mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 cells

  • Concentrations

    3 mM

  • Incubation Time

    6 h

  • Method

    Mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 cells are cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 ℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. SiNPs are diluted by DMEM to appropriate concentrations, and an ER stress inhibitor, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) is applied (3 mM, 6 h). The SiNPs-treated group is at a concentration of 50 μg/ml in vitro experiments. Similarly, the application of 4-PBA is set up through MTT assay, after SiNPs with or without 4-PBA treatment, cells are harvested for the following measurement. The levels of Bip and CHOP induced by SiNPs are measured.
