Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
2.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 40 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. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.5mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 10 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
2%DMSO 40%PEG300 2%Tween80 56%ddH2O
2.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 20 μL of 100 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 20 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 560 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 Honokiol is the active principle of magnolia extract that inhibits Akt-phosphorylation and promotes ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Honokiol causes G0/G1 phase arrest, induces apoptosis, and autophagy via the ROS/ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Honokiol inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Phase 3.
Targets
Akt-phosphorylation [1] MEK [8]
In vitro

Honokiol shows pro-apoptotic effects in melanoma, sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia, bladder, lung, prostate, oral squamous cell carcinoma and colon cancer cell lines. Honokiol is effective on inducing apoptosis in SVR angiosarcoma cells. Treatment of SVR cells with honokiol causes decreased phosphorylation of MAP kinase, akt, and c-src. In addition, honokiol potentiates TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, and honokiol cytotoxicity is partially abrogated by neutralizing antibodies to TRAIL. Honokiol also has direct antiangiogenic activity, in that honokiol blocks the phosphorylation and rac activation due to VEGF-VEGFR2 interactions. [1] Honokiol causes apoptosis in CLL cells through activation of caspase 8, followed by caspase 9 and 3 activation. Honokiol prevents interleukin-4-mediated survival of CLL cells, and potentiats the cytotoxicity of CB-1348, FaraA, and 2-CdA. [3] Honokiol kills myeloma cells from relapsed patients at doses that does not kill PBMCs. Caspase 3, 7, 8, and 9 are induced by honokiol treatment, as well as PARP cleavage. [2] Honokiol is found to induce apoptosis in the colon cancer cell lines RKO. [4] Honokiol potentiates apoptosis, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, and inhibits invasion through modulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation pathway. [5] Honokiol may act as a potent anti-inflammatory agent with multipotential activities due to an inhibitory effect on the PI3K/Akt pathway. [6]
In vivo

Honokiol is highly effective against SVR angiosarcoma in nude mice. [1] Honokiol inhibits the growth of RKO cells in murine xenografts. [4] Honokiol prevents the growth of MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells in murine xenografts. [7]
