In vitro
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
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]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
