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.
| Cell Experiment | |
|---|---|
| Cell lines | SKM-1 cells |
| Preparation method | Growth inhibition assay: The SKM-1 cells (1×105/mL) are firstly seeded in 96-well plates. Artesunate is diluted in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) producing 0, 12.5, 25, 50µg/mL concentrations and added to the SKM-1 cells with 100 µl per well. A negative control is treated with 0.1% DMSO. At 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours, same amount of MTT solution is added into each well and cultured for extra 4 hours. MTT treated cells are fixed with 150 µL DMSO for 30 min at room temperature and then determined with Evolution 201 and 220 UV-Vis spectrophotometer system at 540 nm. |

| Formulation | Dissolved in DMSO and diluted with sterile PBS |
| Dosages | 100 mg/kg/day |
| Administration | i.p. |
| Molecular Weight | 384.42 |
| Formula | C19H28O8 |
| CAS Number | 88495-63-0 |
| Solubility (25°C) | DMSO: ≥ 60 mg/mL |
| Storage |

| Species | Mouse | Rat | Rabbit | Guinea pig | Hamster | Dog |
| Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
