Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Samples were collected from the liver, heart, kidneys, muscle, and adipose tissue (perirhinal and subcutaneous) of six cattle for hydrocarbon composition analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Despite varying proportions, a series of homologous n-alkanes with carbon chain lengths ranging from n-C12 to n-C31 were found in all samples. Additionally, isoprene hydrocarbons phytane and phyene (phytane-1 and phyene-2) were identified. (These findings are relevant to human health from consuming hydrocarbon-contaminated meat.) /n-Alkanes/ Arthrobacter nana KCC B35, isolated from blue-green cushions covered with oil deposits along the Arabian Gulf coast, was able to grow well using C10 to C40 n-alkanes as its sole carbon and energy source. Growth on C20 to C40 alkanes was even superior to growth on C10 to C18 alkanes. After culturing biomass samples with either n-octacosane (C28) or n-nonacosane (C29) for 6 hours, these compounds became the major alkanes comprising the cellular hydrocarbon component. Even-chain hexadecane (C16) and odd-chain pentadecane (C15) were the second most abundant alkanes in C28 and C29 cultured cells, respectively. Compared to control cells not incubated with hydrocarbon compounds, cells incubated with n-hexadecane accumulated a higher proportion of C16 fatty acids in their lipids. On the other hand, no fatty acids with the same chain length were detected in cells incubated with C28 and C29, but the fatty acid profiles of the cellular lipids suggested that these ultra-long-chain alkanes may have undergone medium-chain oxidation. This activity makes Tobacco Monotyphimurium KCC B35 suitable for use in formulations for the bioremediation of heavy oil deposit contamination. |

Toxicity Summary
Identification and Uses: Octacoane is a higher n-alkane containing 28 carbon atoms (C28). Human Exposure and Toxicity: No data are currently available. Animal Studies: A series of homologues of n-alkane, ranging in carbon chain length from n-C12 to n-C31, were found in all samples from bovine liver, heart, kidney, muscle, and adipose tissue. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
