Product Introduction

Bioactivity

Description	Metformin (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide) is an AMPK activator with blood-brain barrier permeability. Metformin may improve glycemic control by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal glucose uptake, and is commonly used in type 2 diabetes research.
Targets&IC50	B-CPAP cells viability:5.329 mM, PANC1 cells viability:20.95 ± 0.98 mM, SARS-CoV-2 (Caco2 cells):1.43 mM, TNF-α:3.35 μM, SARS-CoV-2 (Calu3 cells):0.4 mM
In vitro	METHODS: Ovarian cancer cells A2780 and SKOV3 were treated with Metformin (0.001-50 mM) for 24-48 h. Cell viability was assayed using the MTS RESULTS: Micromolar concentrations of Metformin did not statistically reduce the viability of the A2780 or SKOV3 cell lines. At 48 h, millimolar concentrations resulted in cell death. [1] METHODS: Human colorectal cancer cells HCT29 were treated with Metformin (0.6 mM) for 90 h. Cell motility was detected using the wound healing assay and chamber invasion assay. RESULTS: Metformin inhibited the migration and invasion of HCT29 cells, and Metformin decreased the motility of tumor cells. [2]
In vivo	METHODS: To model Metformin-induced diarrhea, Metformin (125-500 mg/kg) was administered orally to healthy and diabetic obese db/db C57BL/6J mice twice daily for thirteen days. RESULTS: Metformin at 1000 mg/kg/day significantly increased fecal water content. Although no diarrhea symptoms were observed in healthy C57BL/6J mice, the same dose of Metformin induced severe diarrhea in diabetic obese db/db mice. [3] METHODS: To investigate the protective effect of Metformin in radiation injury, Metformin (200 mg/kg once daily for three days) was administered orally to BALB/c mice, which were then exposed to 6-8 Gy of gamma radiation. RESULTS: When administered prior to exposure to radiation, Metformin prolonged the survival of mice exposed to 8 Gy-TBI and increased the survival of mice exposed to 6 Gy-TBI. Pretreatment with Metformin attenuated radiation damage. [4]

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments

and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent

10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.

Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO TargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO TargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.

This example is provided solely to demonstrate the use of the In Vivo Formulation Calculator and does not constitute a recommended formulation for any specific compound. Please select an appropriate dissolution and formulation strategy based on your experimental model and route of administration.

All co-solvents required for this protocol, includingDMSO, PEG300/PEG400, Tween 80, SBE-β-CD, and Corn oil, are available for purchase on the TargetMol website.
