ProtocolIn VitroMenaquinone-4 (MK-4, 0, 1, 5, 10 μM) increases the ALP activity in Caco-2 cells. Menaquinone-4 (1 μM) significantly increases intensities of hSI expression.
In VivoMenaquinone-4 (K2, 0.2 g/kg diet) in HF-K2 group produces epididymal fat in C57BL/6J mice, and also increases the bone density of mice.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

Working concentration: mg/ml;
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 add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
