Description：Ipriflavone is a synthetic isoflavone derivative used to suppress bone resorption.

In Vitro：Ipriflavone inhibits the proliferation and DNA synthesis of MDA-231 cells and blocks the ligand-induced phosphorylation of Tyr(845) of the EGFR. Ipriflavone does not promote apoptosis of MDA-231 cells[1]. Ipriflavone also promotes the deposition of calcium and the formation of mineralized nodules by newborn rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells as well as the activity of alkaline phosphatase[2].

In Vivo：Daily oral administration of ipriflavone at 12 mg/mouse significantly inhibits the development of new osteolytic bone metastases and the progression of established osteolytic lesions, prolonging the life of tumor-bearing mice. Ipriflavone reduces the number of osteoclasts at the bone-cancer interface with no severe adverse effects on the host[1]. 1-month treatment with ipriflavone increases bone density and improves the biomechanical properties of adult rat male bones without altering mineral composition[3]

Animal Administration：Rats: To assess the potential impact of ipriflavone on the biomechanical properties and mineral composition of bone, adult male rats are orally administered two doses (200 or 400 mg/kg bw) of ipriflavone for 1 month. Bone biomechanics are evaluated by vibration damping, an index of strain energy loss, and impact strength[3]. Mice: Ipriflavone is suspended in water containing 0.5% (w/v) methylcellulose and given to mice orally at 6 or 12 mg/0.2 mL daily, which is equivalent to 200 or 400 mg/kg body weight. MDA-231 cells are injected s.c. into the interscapular space of nude mice (on day 0), which are then given ipriflavone (6 or 12 mg/mouse) or the methylcellulose solution orally from day 1 to day 27. Tumor growth is analyzed twice a week by measuring the tumor volume[1].

Cell Assay：Ipriflavone is dissolved in absolute ethanol and added to the medium at 1-50 μM. The final ethanol concentrations are [1].
