Description:
Bacopaside II is a triterpene glycoside found in B. monnieri that has neuroprotective, anti-angiogenic, and anticancer activities. Bacopaside II decreases hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell death in N2a neuroblastoma cells. Bacopaside II decreases migration and tube formation in 2H11 and 3B11 cells, as well as human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at concentrations greater than 15 μM. Bacopaside II inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231, SHG-44, HCT8, A549, and PC3M cancer cells (IC50s = 32.4, 36.9, 40.3, 44.4, and 45.4 μM, respectively).
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
