General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
HepG2, Caco-2 and RAW macrophages |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is ≥7.65mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. |
Reacting condition |
0.50 mM |
Applications |
In HepG2, Caco-2, and RAW macrophages, when Ethionamide concentration is higher than 0.50 mM, it is generally toxic to cells, but when Ethionamide is loaded into microparticles, the toxicity is significantly reduced. In the presence of thermal carbonized-porous silicon (TCPSi) particles, Ethionamide exhibits a rapid metabolic process. |
