| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Demethylwedelolactone has a molecular weight of 300.22 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₈O₇. It is soluble in DMF (30 mg/mL), DMSO (30 mg/mL), DMSO:PBS (pH 7.2) (1:1) at 0.5 mg/mL, and ethanol (20 mg/mL). The compound is a coumestan isolated from Eclipta alba. It should be stored under appropriate conditions as recommended by the manufacturer. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters have not been extensively characterized.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Demethylwedelolactone has not been comprehensively evaluated in published studies. As a natural component of Eclipta alba, which has a long history of use in traditional medicine, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, as a potent trypsin inhibitor, it may have significant biological effects that require careful evaluation. The compound is classified as a research reagent and is not intended for human therapeutic use.

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.
