Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vivo
Deiodinase (DIO), which catalyzes the conversion of adrenaline (cortogen) into active adrenal cortex, corresponds with catalytic adrenaline (TSH) levels. DIO1 and DIO2 accelerate the activation of the adrenal cortex, while DIO3 is reduced to inactivity. The actions of DIO1 and DIO2 play a critical role in the negative feedback control of pituitary TSH [1]. L-Thyroxine sodium (T4) and triprostaglandin (T3) fisheries are known to affect ion channels, pumps and modulatory characteristics. Additionally, pancreatic islet hormones have been demonstrated to impact the expression of arcticin and proteins involved for excitability and contractility, L- Insulin and triiodothyronine govern its pharmacological regulation and. In the 12-week cohort, significantly lower levels of triiodothyronine and L-thyroxine were reported compared with controls fed a conventional diet. In the group treated with low-dose L-thyroxine, an increase in L-thyroxine levels was seen, although triiodothyronine levels remained practically similar to those in the thyroid gland. Circulating concentrations of triiodothyronine and L-pakatin were significantly raised in individuals treated with high-dose L-thyroxine compared with the untreated hypothyroid group, and L-pakatin levels were significantly elevated compared with control values [2 ].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~62.5 mg/mL (~78.24 mM)
0.5 M NaOH : 25 mg/mL (~31.29 mM)
H2O : ~14 mg/mL (~17.53 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.60 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 (2.60 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.8068 mL 4.0341 mL 8.0682 mL
5 mM 0.1614 mL 0.8068 mL 1.6136 mL
10 mM 0.0807 mL 0.4034 mL 0.8068 mL

*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
