Biological Activity for Apigenin

Apigenin is a protein kinase inhibitor. Suppresses tumor-promoting effects of TPA and exhibits antiproliferative activity in human breast cancer cells (IC50 values are 59.44 and 31.15 μM at 24 and 72 hrs respectively). Activates both the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways and displays anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, antispasmodic and antioxidant properties in vivo.

Preparing Stock Solutions for Apigenin

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 270.2. Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which will affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.

Select a batch to recalculate based on the batch molecular weight:
Concentration / Solvent Volume / Mass 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
0.5 mM 7.4 mL 37.01 mL 74.02 mL
2.5 mM 1.48 mL 7.4 mL 14.8 mL
5 mM 0.74 mL 3.7 mL 7.4 mL
25 mM 0.15 mL 0.74 mL 1.48 mL
