Clear solution	5% DMSO 1 95% Corn oil	2.5mg/ml	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 50 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	5%DMSO 1 40%PEG300 2 5%Tween80 3 50%ddH2O	5.0mg/ml	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 100 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

Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) is a cholesterol-removing agent mainly used for lipid raft disruption. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in PEL cells and inhibits the growth and invasion of PEL cells without apparent adverse effects, suggesting the potential effective antitumor activities.

Targets

cholesterol ^[1]

lipid raft ^[1]

In vitro

Methyl-β-cyclodextrin Inhibits SDF-1α-induced platelet aggregation and Akt phosphorylation by raft disruption.^[2]

In vivo

In a Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) xenograft mouse model, Methyl-β-cyclodextrin significantly inhibits the growth and invasion of PEL cells without apparent adverse effects. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin-treated mice appears to be healthy, whereas non-treated mice has a distended abdominal region. The body weights of control are significantly higher than those of Methyl-β-cyclodextrin treated mice. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin-treated mice has a significantly lower volume of ascites than that of non-treated mice.^[1]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[2]}	Cell lines Platelets Concentrations 2% Incubation Time 15 min Method Freshly isolated human platelets are incubated with SDF-1α and centrifuged for 1 min at 3000 rpm. The resulting pellet is resuspended and boiled in Laemmli sample buffer containing phosphatase inhibitor cocktails 2 and 3. Phosphorylations of Akt (Ser473) is detected by western blotting. Platelet aggregation is measured as the optical density of PRP during aggregation using a platelet aggregometer, with the platelet-poor plasma 100% standard for change in optical density.
