Metabolism / Metabolites
…m-XYL (m-XYL) has been shown to alter cytochrome P-450 (CYP) activity in an organ- and isoenzyme-specific manner. This study aimed to determine whether the metabolism of m-XYL to the inhibitory metabolite m-tolualdehyde (m-ALD) is the cause of CYP isoenzyme inhibition following in vivo exposure to inhaled m-XYL (100, 300 ppm), 3-methylbenzyl alcohol (3-MBA) (50, 100 ppm), or m-ALD (50, 100 ppm). In rats, a single inhalation of m-XYL for 6 hours resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of pulmonary CYP 2B1, 2E1, and 4B1 activities. Inhalation of 3-MBA dose-dependently inhibited pulmonary CYP2B1 and CYP4B1 activities. m-ALD dose-dependently inhibited the activity of CYP2B1 and CYP2E1 in the lungs, while dose-dependently increasing the activity of CYP4B1. Exposure to m-XYL dose-dependently inhibited the activity of CYP2B1 and CYP2E1 in the nasal mucosa; 3-MBA dose-dependently inhibited the activity of CYP2E1 and CYP4B1 in the nasal mucosa. Inhalation of m-ALD dose-dependently inhibited the activities of CYP2B1, CYP2E1, and CYP4B1. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that m-ALD was detectable dose-dependently after in vivo exposure to m-XYL, m-ALD, and 3-MBA, with the highest concentrations found in the nasal mucosa and lungs. The alteration of cytochrome P-450 activity by m-XYL may lead to increased or decreased toxicity, thereby altering the metabolic profile of exogenous substances under co-exposure in an organ-specific manner. Tolueneformin can be oxidized to p-tolueneic acid by resting cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Perillaldehyde dehydrogenase isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa can catalyze the oxidation of m-tolueneformin and p-tolueneformin, but not o-tolueneformin. Aldehydes are readily oxidized to organic acids. The oxidation of aldehydes is catalyzed by aldehyde dehydrogenases, which are found in the brain, red blood cells, liver, kidneys, heart, and placenta. /Aldehydes/ |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (20.81 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 (20.81 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
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (20.81 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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.
