| Additional Infomation |
3-Methoxytyramine is a monomethoxybenzene derivative, a structure of dopamine in which the 3-hydroxyl group is replaced by a methoxy group. It is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine and is considered a potential biomarker for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. It is present in human serum and urine and can serve as a biomarker. It belongs to the phenolic, primary amine, monomethoxybenzene, and phenethylamine classes. Its function is related to dopamine. It is the conjugate base of 3-methoxytyramine. 4-(2-aminoethyl)-2-methoxyphenol has been reported in Senegalia berlandieri, Echinopsis spachiana, and other organisms with relevant data.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.6 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 0.56 mg/mL (3.35 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.6 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
