Product Description

Dexamethasone palmitate, the palmitate salt and a prodrug of Dexamethasone with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activities, is a liposteroid for treatment of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Dexamethasone palmitate (DXP) has 47-fold lower affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor than Dexamethasone.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In RAW 264.7 cells, dexamethasone palmitate (100 μg/mL; 48 hours) alters the amounts of cytokines [1].
ln Vivo
Different distributions of dexamethasone palmitate (1280 μg; one IVT injection) are seen in ocular tissues at different periods [2]. Dexamethasone palmitate (280–1280 μg; after intravenous administration) modulates vascular hyperpermeability generated by VEGF [2].
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: RAW 264.7 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 100 μg/mL

Doses: 1280 μg
Route of Administration: IVT injection; 1280 μg Primary
Experimental Results:Most of it is distributed in the vitreous body and still exists until 9 months. The distribution in the aqueous humor is minimal and almost disappears by 6 months.

Animal/Disease Models: New Zealand white rabbits were injected with VEGF[2] Doses: 280, 560, 1280 μg
Route of Administration: IVT injection; 280-1280 μg Primary
Experimental Results: After 9 months of administration, VEGF-induced vascular permeability was controlled at Concentrations of 1280 μg, in addition to 280 and 560 μg also diminished VEGF-induced vascular hyperpermeability after 4 months of administration.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~79.26 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.30 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 (3.30 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 ultrasonication.
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.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
