In Escherichia coli, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid, also known as alpha-ketoisovaleric acid, is the precursor to pantothenic acid [1]. 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid induces an early decrease in ornithine and a late increase in plasma arginine, but it also decreases the equivalent amino acids and potentiates α-ketoisocaproic acid and α-keto-beta-methyl-n-valeric acid [2].

3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid (alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid) causes convulsions in rats via both GABAergic and glutamatergic pathways [3].

| Additional Infomation |
3-Methyl-2-oxobutyric acid is a 2-oxomonocarboxylic acid, a 2-oxo derivative of isovaleric acid. It is a metabolite in both humans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a 2-oxomonocarboxylic acid and a branched-chain keto acid. Functionally, it is related to butyric acid. It is the conjugate acid of 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate. It is a tautomer of 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenoic acid. α-Ketoisovaleric acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strains K12 and MG1655). α-Ketoisovaleric acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strains K12 and MG1655). 3-Methyl-2-oxobutyric acid has been reported in Drosophila melanogaster, Aloe vera, and other organisms with relevant data. α-Ketoisovaleric acid is a branched-chain organic acid, a precursor in the synthesis of leucine and valine, and a degradation product of valine. The fourth step in the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine, catalyzed by dihydroxy acid dehydratase, involves the dehydration of 2,3-dihydroxyisovalerate to produce α-ketoisovalerate. α-Ketoisovalerate is a metabolite found or produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (18.69 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 21.7 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: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (18.69 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 21.7 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. View More

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration： mg/mL；
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution： mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation:：Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O，mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
