Molecular Weight 628.75 CAS No. 2752-65-0
Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 100 mg/mL (159.04 mM)
Ethanol 100 mg/mL (159.04 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
2%DMSO 40%PEG300 2%Tween80 56%ddH2O
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 20 μL of 200 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 Gambogic Acid (Guttatic Acid, Guttic Acid, Beta-Guttiferrin) activates caspases with EC50 of 0.78-1.64 μM and competitively inhibits Bcl-XL, Bcl-2, Bcl-W, Bcl-B, Bfl-1 and Mcl-1 with IC50 of 1.47, 1.21, 2.02, 0.66, 1.06 and 0.79 μM, respectively.

In vitro Gambogic Acid is a caged xanthone that is derived from Garcinia hanburyi and functions as a strong apoptotic inducer in many types of cancer cells by inhibiting human Bcl-2 family proteins and activating caspases. Gambogic Acid also blocks Kir2.1 channels with EC50 of ≤ 100 nM.[1] [2] [3] Gambogic Acid significantly inhibits human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration, invasion, tube formation, and micro-vessel growth at nM concentration. [4]
In vivo Gambogic Acid effectively inhibits tumor angiogenesis and suppressed tumor growth with low side effects using metronomic chemotherapy with Gambogic Acid. [4] Gambogic Acid has multiple functional effects including the induction of apoptosis, the inhibition of proliferation and the prevention of cancer metastasis and tumor angiogenesis. [5] In both animal tumor models and clinical trials, Gambogic Acid efficiently inhibits tumor growth with minimal side effects, with little toxicity on immune and hemopoietic systems. Gambogic Acid can produce tissue-specific proteasome inhibition and tumor-specific toxicity. [6] LD50: Mice 45mg/kg (i.p.). [7]
