Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro	Sophocarpine exerts anti-cachectic effects by inhibiting TNF-α and IL-6 production in both RAW264.7 cells and murine primary macrophages. This compound also shows antivirus activity by inhibiting HHV-6 replication in Molt-3 cells. In addition, it is a potent blocker of HERG K+ channels with an IC50 of about 200 mM.
In vivo	Administration of 50 mg/kg/d sophocarpine for 5 days from the onset of cachexia does not inhibit the tumour growth but results in attenuation of cachexia symptoms in colon26 adenocarcinoma xenograft BALB/c mice. LD50: Mice 63.94 mg/kg (i.v.)
