Didesmethylrocaglamide is a naturally occurring 1H-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran lignans of the rocaglamide type isolated from three Aglaia species (Aglaia duperreana, A. oligophylla and A. spectabilis). Didesmethylrocaglamide inhibited cell growth in a similar concentration range as the well-known anticancer drug vinblastine sulfate. Didesmethylrocaglamide arrested MPNST cells at G2-M, increased the sub-G1 population, induced cleavage of caspases and PARP, and elevated the levels of the DNA-damage response marker γH2A.X, while decreasing the expression of AKT and ERK1/2, consistent with translation inhibition.

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.
