| Targets |
Adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT); mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Agaricic acid induces mitochondrial permeability transition through its interaction with adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). It promotes the efflux of accumulated Ca2+, disruption of transmembrane potential, and mitochondrial swelling. The compound's effects on mitochondria are dependent on membrane fluidity.

| ln Vitro |
Agaricic acid induces mitochondrial permeability transition in vitro through its interaction with adenine nucleotide translocase. It promotes the efflux of accumulated Ca2+, disruption of transmembrane potential, and mitochondrial swelling. The compound is used to regulate lipid metabolism. Its effects on mitochondria have been characterized in various in vitro assays using isolated mitochondria.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Agaricic acid has been used to regulate lipid metabolism. It may have effects on mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. However, detailed in vivo studies are limited. The compound is primarily used as a research tool to study mitochondrial function and adenine nucleotide translocase.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro mitochondrial assays for Agaricic acid involve isolating mitochondria from tissues and treating them with Agaricic acid at varying concentrations (typically 1-100 µM). Mitochondrial swelling is measured spectrophotometrically by monitoring changes in absorbance at 540 nm. Calcium efflux is measured using calcium-sensitive fluorescent indicators. Transmembrane potential is measured using fluorescent dyes such as JC-1 or tetraphenylphosphonium.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Agaricic acid involve culturing cells and treating them with the compound at varying concentrations (typically 1-100 µM). Mitochondrial function is assessed by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential using fluorescent dyes, ATP levels using luciferase-based assays, and reactive oxygen species production using fluorescent probes. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Agaricic acid are not extensively documented. When performed, they typically involve administration in rodent models to assess effects on lipid metabolism or mitochondrial function. The compound is typically administered orally or via injection. Dosing regimens vary depending on the study objectives.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~300.08 mM)
|
|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 corn oil and mix evenly.  (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.
