Description Alantolactone (Inula camphor)(Alant camphor), a sesquiterpene lactone, has potential activity against triple-negative breast Y MDA-MB-231 cells by suppressing the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.
In vitro Alantolactone selectively suppresses STAT3 activation and exhibits potent anticancer activity in MDA-MB-231 cells. Alantolactone effectively suppressed both constitutive and inducible STAT3 activation at tyrosine 705. It decreased STAT3 translocation to the nucleus, its DNA-binding, and STAT3 target gene expression. Alantolactone significantly inhibits STAT3 activation with a marginal effect on MAPKs and on NF-κB transcription; however, this effect is not mediated by inhibiting STAT3 upstream kinases. SHP-1, SHP-2, and PTEN, which are protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) were not affected by alantolactone. Alantolactone treatment resulted in the inhibition of migration, invasion, adhesion, and colony formation[1]. Alantolactone could induce activin signaling and activin target gene expression. Alantolactone activated the activin signaling pathway in a cancer cell line. It could promote SMAD2/3 nuclear translocation in a very short time[3].
In vivo In vivo administration of alantolactone inhibited the growth of human breast xenograft tumors[1]. Alantolactone exerts no toxic effect on liver and kidneys in vivo, The drug was well tolerated by mice and no mortality or any sign of pharmacotoxicity was found at a dose of 100 mg/kg during all the experimental periods. Alantolactone can cross blood-brain barrier[2].
Cell Research Cell viability was evaluated using MTT assay. The cells were seeded into 96-well plates and maintained at 37 °C for 24 h. The cells were treated with alantolactone for 24 h. The MTT solution (0.5 mg/mL) was added to each well, and the cells were incubated for another 3 h. The MTT formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO. The results were obtained by measuring the absorbance at a wavelength of 540 nm using a microplate reader.(Only for Reference)

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
