SPECIFICATION
Product Name: Stemolecule Forskolin
Catalog Number: 04-0025
Size: 10 mg
Alternate Name(s): [(3R,4aR,5S,6S,6aS,10S,10aR,10bS)-3-ethenyl-6,10,10b-trihydroxy-3,4a,7,7,10a-pentamethyl-1-oxo-5,6,6a,8,9,10-hexahydro-2H-benzo[f]chromen-5-yl]acetate
Chemical Formula: C22H34O7
Molecular Weight: 410.50
CAS Number: 66428-89-5
Purity: Greater than 97% by HPLC analysis
Formulation: White crystalline powder
Solubility: For a 10 mM concentrated stock solution of Forskolin, reconstitute the compound by adding 2.44 mL of DMSO to the entire contents of the vial. If precipitate is observed, warm the solution to 37 °C for 2 to 5 minutes. For cell culture, the media should be prewarmed prior to adding the reconstituted compound. Note: for most cells, the maximum tolerance to DMSO is less than 0.5%. This molecule is soluble in DMSO at 100 mM.
Storage and Stability: Store powder at 4 °C protected from light. Information about the stability of Stemolecules in solution is largely not available. As a general guideline, we recommend that stock solution be freshly made and stored in aliquots at −20 °C, protected from light. The effect of storage of stock solutions should be verified for each application.
Quality Control: The purity of Forskolin was determined by HPLC analysis. The accurate mass was determined by mass spectrometry. Cellular toxicity of Forskolin was tested on mouse embryonic stem cells.
