CU-CPT17e shows strong NF-κB activation in TLR3, TLR8 and TLR9 HEK293 cells with EC50 values of 4.80±0.73, 13.5±0.58 and 5.66±0.17 μM, respectively. CU-CPT17e significantly improves the activity with 13.9±0.9 fold of NF-κB activation and an EC50 value of 4.8±0.7 μM. CU-CPT17e inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cancer cells by triggering apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle at the S phase. The induction of apoptosis by CU-CPT17e in HeLa cells is investigated. HeLa cells are cultured with increasing concentrations of CU-CPT17e or poly I:C or blank control (DMSO) for 24 h. Treatment with CU-CPT17e for 24 h at different concentrations (10 to 40 μM) results in an elevation of apoptotic cell population ranging from 10% to 17%, which is more effective than poly I:C at 5 μg/mL. These results suggest that the antiproliferative activity of CU-CPT17e against HeLa cells might result from its ability to directly induce apoptosis[1].

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, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
