DRB18 (DRB-18) is a potent, pan-class I glucose transporter (GLUT) inhibitor, reduces glucose uptake in HEK293 cell lines expressd single GLUT1-4 with IC50 of 0.9-8.8 uM.DRB18 reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner in cancer cell lines (A549 IC50=3.5 uM, HeLa IC50=1.3 uM), also exhibited IC50 values < 10 μM in all nine melanoma cell lines.DRB18 rapidly and potently inhibited glucose transport and glucose metabolism, inhibited multiple metabolic pathways associated with glucose metabolism in A549 cells.DRB18 caused G1/S phase arrest and increased oxidative stress in A549 cells.DRB18 (10mg/kg) inhibited the growth of A549 tumors xenografted in nude mice.

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.
