Product Information
| Description: | Artesunate is a potential STAT3 inhibitor that acts on the small cell lung cancer cell line H69 with an IC50 value of < 5 μM and is also used in antimalarial studies. Artesunate also promotes ROS signaling and lipid peroxidation by increasing the formation of variable iron pools, ultimately leading to iron death in pancreatic cancer cells. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
