Details
Negative (lt;0)
1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2.;;If water fails, add NH4OH (lt;50 μL). 3.;;If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide.
Positive (gt;0)
1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2.;;If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3.;;If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO.
Zero (=0)
1.;;Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2.;;For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration.

Strophanthidin is a naturally available cardiac glycoside[1]. Strophanthidin 0.1 and 1 nmol/L increases and 1~100 µmol/L inhibits the Na+/K+-ATPase activities, but Strophanthidin 10 and 100 nmol/L does not affect Na+/K+-ATPase activities in cardiac sarcolemmal[2]. Strophanthidin increases both diastolic and systolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration[3].

体外研究 (In Vitro)
Strophanthidin (0~10 μM; 24 hours; MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 cells) is effective at suppressing the growth of cancer cells and has no toxicity in normal cells[1]. Strophanthidin (0.5 to 500 µM; PBMCs) does not show significant cytotoxicity in PBMCs. Strophanthidin (2 µM; MCF-7 cells) can arrest cell cycle at the G2/M phase[1]. Strophanthidin (MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 cells) is effective at suppressing the growth of cancer cells and has no toxicity in normal cells. Strophanthidin (MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 cells) inhibits the expression of checkpoint and cyclin-dependent kinases in three cancer cells compared to untreated controls. Strophanthidin can modulate the protein localization from the nucleus to the membrane as well as to the cytoplasm. Strophanthidin is a monosaccharide cardiac glycoside with one aglycone portion and without any sugar unit. Strophanthidin induces apoptosis by the attenuation of multiple biochemical signaling pathways and by arresting cell cycle at the G2/M phase through p53-dependent and p53-independent mechanisms[1].
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
