| Targets |
Ambroxide does not have a specific therapeutic target as it is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. It is a terpenoid compound that interacts with olfactory receptors in the nose to produce its characteristic ambergris aroma. As a fragrance molecule, it is known for its stability and low volatility, which contribute to its long-lasting scent profile. The compound is non-irritating to the human body and non-allergic to animals, indicating a favorable safety profile for topical application. Its role as a fixative in perfumery is related to its physicochemical properties rather than specific biological targets.

| Additional Infomation |
Ambroxol is a diterpenoid derived from sauropodophyllin and is the primary source of the aroma of ambergris (a solid, waxy, flammable substance produced by the digestive system of sperm whales). It is an organic heterocyclic tricyclic compound and also a diterpenoid. Ambroxol has been reported to have been detected in rockrose (Cistus creticus), and relevant data are available for reference.
Ambroxide is a naturally occurring terpenoid compound and one of the key constituents of ambergris. It is also known as (-)-Ambroxide or Ambroxan. The compound is a synthetic spice with the special aroma of natural ambergris, recognized as one of the best substitutes for natural ambergris. It is widely used in perfumery as both a fixative and a fragrance enhancer, adding depth and longevity to scent compositions. Ambroxide is prized for its stability, low volatility, and excellent skin persistence. It is non-irritating to the human body and non-allergic to animals, making it suitable for fragrances for skin, hair, and fabrics. Often used in soaps and other personal care products. Not a pharmaceutical agent; used as a fragrance ingredient. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.58 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 25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.58 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 25.0 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.
