| Targets |
Gymnemic Acid I targets multiple pathways involved in glucose metabolism and taste perception. It inhibits glucose-induced phosphorylation and inhibits rabbit glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). GAPDH is a key enzyme in glycolysis, and its inhibition may contribute to the antihyperglycemic effects of Gymnemic Acid I. Gymnemic Acid I is a protein biosynthesis inhibitor. It also has antisweet principles, meaning it can suppress the sensation of sweetness. The compound has been shown to decrease apoptosis under high glucose stress. Its effects on sweet taste are mediated by its interaction with sweet taste receptors on the tongue.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (1.55 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 12.5 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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (1.55 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 12.5 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.
