Application

Withaferin A was used to treat HEK293 cells to study its effect on cystic fibrosis inflammation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Steroidal lactone that exhibits cytotoxicity towards tumor cells. Protective effects attributed to anti-lipid peroxidative, antioxidant and detoxifying functionality.
Withaferin A is a steroidal lactone that is isolated from the plant Withania somnifera. It has potent anti-inflammatory properties as it inhibits the activation of NF-κ B signaling pathway. The anti-tumor activity of Withaferin A is due to its ability to alter cytoskeletal architecture by binding annexin II and disrupting F actin cross-links. Withaferin A also inhibits angiogenesis by binding to vimentin and F-actin.

Preparation Note

Withaferin A yields a clear, colorless solution in methanol at 1 mg/ml.

  1. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment. See Shipping and Storage for more information.

  2. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
