ProtocolIn VitroBuformin (0-3 mM; 24 hours) suppresses RTK activation, including erbB-2 and IGF1R signaling downstream, and Akt activation/phosphorylation is inhibited in both SKBR3 and BT474 cells. Buformin (0-3 mM; 48 hours) increases the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase and reduced the percentage of cells in S phase, especially in the SKBR3 cells. Buformin (0-10 mM; 5 days) inhibits SKBR3 and BT474 cells growth as a concentration-dependent manner, exhibits IC50 values of 246.7 μM and  98.6 μM for erbB-2-overexpressing SKBR3 and BT474 cells, respectively.
In VivoBuformin (oral administation; 7.6 mmol/kg of chow; 7 days) exhibits significantly reduced tumor volumes and weights, and hinders mammary morphogenesis and proliferation in MMTV-erbB-2 transgenic mice.

Calculation Results:
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.
