| Targets |
3-Methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside that is incorporated into RNA. Its presence and levels can reflect RNA modification patterns and cellular metabolism. As a urinary nucleoside, its levels in urine can serve as a biomarker for cancer. Elevated levels of modified nucleosides in urine are associated with increased cell turnover and RNA metabolism in tumors.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, 3-Methylcytidine is used as a standard for the detection and quantification of modified nucleosides. It is used in studies of RNA modifications and their effects on gene expression. Its levels in biological samples can be measured by LC-MS or other analytical techniques.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, 3-Methylcytidine is a normal metabolite found in urine. Its levels can be elevated in patients with certain types of cancer, making it a potential biomarker for early detection and monitoring of disease. Its role as a biomarker is an active area of research.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For metabolite quantification, 3-Methylcytidine is measured in urine or other biological samples using LC-MS or GC-MS. Samples are processed, and the compound is separated on a suitable column and detected by mass spectrometry. Quantification is performed using external calibration curves or isotope-labeled internal standards.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular studies, cells are cultured, and the levels of 3-methylcytidine in the culture medium or cell lysates are measured. Cells may be treated with compounds that affect RNA methylation, and the resulting changes in 3-methylcytidine levels are measured.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies, urine samples are collected from animal models or human subjects. 3-Methylcytidine levels are measured by LC-MS. Its levels are correlated with disease status (e.g., tumor burden) to assess its potential as a biomarker.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for 3-Methylcytidine are not applicable, as it is an endogenous metabolite. Its levels in urine reflect its production and clearance rates. It is excreted in urine. No specific PK parameters are reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
3-Methylcytidine is a normal metabolite and is not considered toxic at physiological concentrations. No acute toxicity, organ-specific toxicity, or mutagenicity data have been reported. As a research chemical, it should be handled according to standard laboratory safety protocols.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.09 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.09 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 20.8 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.
