Description of Ursolic acid

IC50: 2.5 μg/mL for P3HR1 cells; 17.79 μg/mL for myelogenous leukemia K562 cells

Ursolic acid, an ursane-type pentacyclic triterpenic acid, belongs to the cyclosqualenoid family, has been reported to be useful in cancer prevention and treatment. Several inflammatory signaling cascades including nuclear factor-kB and cyclooxygenase-2 have been linked with different stages of cancer progression.

In vitro: Ursolic acid was reported to suppress the proliferation of a number of tumor cells, induce apoptosis and inhibit metastasis, tumor promotion, and angiogenesis. Ursolic acid could inhibit NF-kB activation induced by carcinogenic agents through the suppression of IkBa kinase and p65/RelA phosphorylation [1].

In vivo: In vivo, ursolic acid has been reported to inhibit tumor growth in various cancer animal models. In nude mice, ursolic acid treatment for 6 weeks inhibited the growth of DU145 cells without any significant effect on body weight. In addition, ursolic acid treatment produced chemopreventive effects in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate mouse model [1].

Clinical trial: Sixty-three subjects received a single dose of ursolic acid liposomes. The clinical results showed that liposomal ursolic acid had manageable toxicities with MTD of 98 mg/m2. The DLT were primarily diarrhea and hepatotoxicity. Additionally, ursolic acid liposomeal formulation had a linear pharmacokinetic profile [1].

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of Ursolic acid

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)

% DMSO % % Tween 80 % ddH2O
%DMSO %

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 addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
