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(2-8C).
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 -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. 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.
Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please email to: service@chemfaces.com
The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of canadine: biological effects and structural aspects.[Pubmed:
18295494]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The cytotoxic effects of four alkaloids, berberine, Canadine, anonaine, and antioquine were evaluated using three different cell cultures, a primary culture (rat hepatocytes) and two cell lines (HepG2 and HeLa). Our results indicate that berberine, anonaine, and antioquine possess a significant the cytotoxic effect. In contrast, Canadine does not possess cytotoxic effect at concentrations tested here. A molecular modeling study indicates that the quaternary nitrogen, the aromatic polycyclic and planar structure of berberine could be the pharmacophoric patron to produce the cytotoxic effect.
In parallel our results demonstrated that Canadine possess a significant antioxidant activity. Stereoelectronic aspects of this alkaloid were found to be closely related to those displayed by alpha-tocopherol and its water-soluble analogue trolox.
CONCLUSIONS:
The antioxidant activities of Canadine, combined with its low-toxic effect, indicated that the potential of this alkaloid as a novel class of antioxidant agent is very interesting and deserves further research.

Cloning and characterization of canadine synthase involved in noscapine biosynthesis in opium poppy.[Pubmed:
24316226]
Noscapine biosynthesis in opium poppy is thought to occur via N-methylCanadine, which would be produced through 9-O-methylation of (S)-scoulerine, methylenedioxy bridge formation on (S)-tetrahydrocolumbamine, and N-methylation of (S)-Canadine. Only scoulerine 9-O-methyltransferase has been functionally characterized.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
We report the isolation and characterization of a cytochrome P450 (CYP719A21) from opium poppy that converts (S)-tetrahydrocolumbamine to (S)-Canadine. Recombinant CYP719A21 displayed strict substrate specificity and high affinity (Km=4.63±0.71 μM) for (S)-tetrahydrocolumbamine. Virus-induced gene silencing of CYP719A21 caused a significant increase in (S)-tetrahydrocolumbamine accumulation and a corresponding decrease in the levels of putative downstream intermediates and noscapine in opium poppy plants.
