Continentalic acid exhibits potent antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains. [1]
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values determined by the microbroth dilution method: For MRSA strains (including ATCC 33591 and clinical isolates), the MIC range of Continentalic acid is 8-16 μg/mL; for MSSA strain ATCC 25923, the MIC is 4-8 μg/mL. [1] It shows comparable antibacterial efficacy to reference antibiotics: The MIC of Continentalic acid against MRSA is similar to that of erythromycin (8-16 μg/mL) and clindamycin (4-16 μg/mL), and slightly higher than that of vancomycin (1-2 μg/mL). [1] |

| Cell Assay |
Microbroth dilution assay for antibacterial activity: Staphylococcus aureus strains (MRSA: ATCC 33591, clinical isolates; MSSA: ATCC 25923) were cultured in Mueller-Hinton (MH) broth at 37°C overnight to reach the logarithmic growth phase. Continentalic acid was serially diluted in MH broth to concentrations ranging from 0.5 μg/mL to 128 μg/mL, and 100 μL of each dilution was added to 96-well microtiter plates. Bacterial suspensions (adjusted to 5×10⁵ CFU/mL) were added to each well, resulting in a final bacterial concentration of 2.5×10⁵ CFU/mL. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours, and the MIC was defined as the lowest concentration of Continentalic acid that completely inhibited bacterial growth (no visible turbidity). Reference antibiotics (vancomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin) were tested under the same conditions as positive controls. [1]

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (8.27 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.27 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. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.27 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*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.
