Biological Activity for ITE

ITE is an endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist (K_i = 3 nM). Decreases Oct4 levels in U87 glioblastoma cells. Induces stem-like cancer cell differentiation in U87 tumor spheres and inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation in vitro. Suppresses tumor growth in U87 and OVCAR-3 cell xenografts in mice. Also inhibits TGF-β-induced human myofibroblast differentiation.

Preparing Stock Solutions for ITE

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 286.3.

Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which will affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.

Select a batch to recalculate based on the batch molecular weight:

Concentration / Solvent Volume / Mass	1 mg	5 mg	10 mg
1 mM	3.49 mL	17.46 mL	34.93 mL
5 mM	0.70 mL	3.49 mL	6.99 mL
10 mM	0.35 mL	1.75 mL	3.49 mL
50 mM	0.07 mL	0.35 mL	0.70 mL
