Description	Flavokawain C (FKC), a naturally occurring chalcone, which can be isolated from Kava.FKC has the potential to be developed into chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of colon adenocarcinoma.
In vitro	Flavokawain C (FKC) markedly decreased the cell viability of HT-29 cells and the cells showed dramatic changes in cellular and nuclear morphologies with typical apoptotic features.?The induction of apoptosis correlated well with the externalization of phosphatidylserine, DNA fragmentation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, activation of caspases, and PARP cleavage.?This was associated with an increase in reactive oxygen species and a decrease in SOD activity.?The protein levels of XIAP, c-IAP1, and c-IAP2 were downregulated, whereas the GADD153 was upregulated after FKC treatment.?FKC induced cell cycle arrest at the G1 and G2/M phases via upregulation of p21 and p27 in a p53-independent manner.??FKC has the potential to be developed into chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of colon adenocarcinoma[1].
Cell Research	Cell viability of HT-29 cells was assessed by Sulforhodamine B assay after FKC treatment.?Induction of apoptosis was examined by established morphological and biochemical assays.?ROS generation was determined by dichlorofluorescein fluorescence staining, and superoxide dismutase activity was measured using the spectrophotometric method.?Western blotting was used to examine the changes in the protein levels[1].

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
