| Additional Infomation |
Hydroxyacetone is a type of acetone whose structure is formed by replacing one methyl hydrogen atom with a hydroxyl group in the acetone molecule. It is found in humans, E. coli, and mice as a metabolic product. Hydroxyacetone belongs to the acetone class, methyl ketone class, primary alcohol class, and primary α-hydroxy ketone class of compounds, and its function is closely related to that of acetone. It has been reported to be detected in durian (Durio zibethinus), chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), and other organisms with relevant data.
Hydroxyacetone is a research chemical that has not entered clinical trials or received regulatory approval for therapeutic use. It is primarily used as a chemical reagent in organic synthesis, including the Mannich reaction and aldol reactions. The compound is also an endogenous metabolite and is found in humans and E. coli. It is also known as Acetol. Its dual reactivity as both a ketone and an alcohol makes it a valuable building block in organic synthesis. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (33.75 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 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 (33.75 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

*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.
