Cell lines

PANC-1, A549 and A375 cell lines

Preparation method

Soluble in DMSO. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

0~1000 nM for 72h

Applications

RTA 408 inhibits growth and induces apoptosis (increase caspase activity) in human tumor cell lines

Animal models

BALB/c mice

Dosage form

topical application 0.01%, 0.1% or 1.0% in sesame oil daily for 35 days

Application

RTA 408 could protect skin from radiation-induced dermatitis, by activation of the antioxidative transcription factor Nrf2 and inhibition of the proinflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa b (NF-κB).

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
