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.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Citral is the mixture of two isomeric acyclic monoterpene aldehydes, the trans-isomer geranial or Citral A and the cis-isomer neral or Citral B. Several pharmacological activities of this compound have been documented such as anti-inflammatory effects, antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and some protozoa, and anticancer activities against some cancer cell lines including leukemic, breast, and lymphoma cells. Treatment with this chemical results in an activation of caspase-3, leading to apoptosis in human U937, HL60, and NB4 and mouse RL12 and BS-24-1 leukemic cell lines. Moreover, it inhibits human breast cancer cell MCF-7 growth and induces cycle arrest in G2/M phase. This compound induces human lymphoma Ramos cell apoptosis by activating caspase activity in a concentration and time-dependent manner but has no effect on cell distribution in the cell cycle.
In vivo
Citral can block the L-type calcium channels and shows a significant anti-inflammatory effect in the carrageenan model. It has a very important anti-inflammatory activity in the test of croton oil-induced ear oedema in mice. Treatment with this compound in mice with lung injury induced by LPS inhibits TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels both in vivo and in vitro.
