| Targets |
D-Ribonolactone targets E. coli β-galactosidase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose. As a competitive inhibitor, it binds to the enzyme's active site and prevents substrate binding. It is also a substrate for lactonases and lactonizing enzymes, which hydrolyze it to D-ribose. Its role in ribose metabolism makes it a valuable tool for studying carbohydrate metabolism.

| ln Vitro |
Ki: 26 mM (β-galactosidase)
D-Ribonolactone exhibits in vitro activity as an inhibitor of E. coli β-galactosidase with a Ki of 26 mM. Its activity is assessed in enzyme assays measuring the hydrolysis of a chromogenic or fluorogenic β-galactosidase substrate (e.g., X-gal, ONPG) in the presence of varying concentrations of the inhibitor. It also serves as a substrate for lactonases. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, D-ribonolactone is not typically used as a therapeutic agent. It is a sugar lactone that can be hydrolyzed to D-ribose, a fundamental sugar involved in numerous biological processes. It is utilized in the production of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and supports research in genetics, cellular biology, and metabolic regulation.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for D-ribonolactone involve measuring its inhibition of E. coli β-galactosidase. The enzyme is incubated with a substrate (e.g., ONPG) and varying concentrations of D-ribonolactone. The production of the chromogenic product (o-nitrophenol) is measured spectrophotometrically, and the Ki (26 mM) is determined from the inhibition kinetics. Assays for lactonase activity measure the hydrolysis of D-ribonolactone to D-ribose.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for D-ribonolactone are limited, as its primary use is as an enzyme inhibitor and substrate in biochemical assays. Its effects on cells can be studied in the context of carbohydrate metabolism. E. coli cultures can be treated with the compound to assess its effects on β-galactosidase activity and bacterial growth.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with D-ribonolactone are not extensively documented, as the compound is primarily used as a research reagent. Its role in ribose metabolism and vitamin B2 production may be studied in animal models of metabolic disorders. However, such studies are not common.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (14.04 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 (14.04 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.
