SMILES CodeC[C@@]12[C@@H](C(CO)=O)CC[C@@]1([H])[C@]3([H])CCC4=CC(CC[C@]4(C)[C@@]3([H])[C@@H](O)C2)=O           
ProtocolIn VitroCorticosterone (CORT) (1 µM; 48 h) shows good immunosuppressive properties (functionally compromises maturation of BMDC), which impairs LPS-induced up-regulation of maturation-associated markers (MHC class II, B7.2, B7.1 and CD40)
In VivoCorticosterone results in a marked reduction in the ability of BMDC cells to prime naive CD8+ T cells in vivo

Step Two: Enter the in vivo formulation
%DMSO + % + %Tween 80 + %ddH2O
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.
