Description C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) is a water-soluble protein pigment that is also used as a nutrient supplement for human beings.
In vitro For the combination experiments, when cells treated with All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with C-phycocyanin, the IC50 value is lower than that in the ATRA group. But under the same IC50, the more C-phycocyanin is used, the less ATRA is needed. C-phycocyanin combined with ATRA can significantly decrease the CDK-4 mRNA level (P<0.05). The combination index (CI) value of the C-phycocyanin+ATRA combination group is 0.852 which is less than 1, indicating that the two drugs are synergetic under the action concentration (88 μg/L C-phycocyanin+0.102 mM ATRA). The expression of caspase-3 in the C-phycocyanin group is more than that in the control group but is similar to that in the ATRA group, whereas the expression in the combination group is maximum.
In vivo Compared to the control group, mice treated with either C-phycocyanin or ATRA demonstrated a significant reduction in average tumor weights, with an even greater decrease observed in the group receiving a combination of C-phycocyanin and ATRA. While C-phycocyanin alone was found to increase spleen weight, ATRA produced the opposite effect. Moreover, C-phycocyanin not only enhances the growth of immune organs in mice but also boosts immune function. Both C-phycocyanin and ATRA individually significantly suppress the expression of Cyclin D1, with the combination therapy exhibiting an enhanced inhibitory effect.

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

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
