Product Description
Mesitaldehyde is an endogenously produced metabolite.
Mesitaldehyde (2,4,6-Trimethylbenzaldehyde, CAS 487-68-3) is an endogenous metabolite. It is a diazonium salt that is synthesized by the reaction of nitrosyl chloride and sodium carbonate in an acidic solution. The compound has been studied for its potential use as a therapeutic drug due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme DPP-IV, which is involved in the development of diabetic neuropathy. Mesitaldehyde is widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Mesitaldehyde is DPP-IV (dipeptidyl peptidase IV), an enzyme involved in glucose metabolism and the development of diabetic neuropathy. As an endogenous metabolite, it may interact with various physiological pathways. The compound is a carbonyl compound that is used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis. These targets make it relevant for research on diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, and metabolic disorders.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Mesitaldehyde demonstrates DPP-IV inhibitory activity, suggesting potential applications in diabetes research. The compound is widely used in biochemical experiments. It is studied in vitro to understand its effects on DPP-IV activity and glucose metabolism. As a carbonyl compound, it may participate in various chemical and biochemical reactions. These in vitro activities support its use in diabetes research, drug discovery, and biochemical studies.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Mesitaldehyde has potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy due to its DPP-IV inhibitory activity. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. As an endogenous metabolite, it is naturally present in biological systems. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential in animal models of diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for biochemical and drug synthesis studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Mesitaldehyde involve measuring DPP-IV inhibition. The compound is incubated with DPP-IV enzyme at concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM, and enzyme activity is measured using chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates. IC50 values are determined by plotting percent inhibition versus inhibitor concentration. The compound's reactivity as a carbonyl compound may be assessed using standard chemical assays. All assays include appropriate controls and reference compounds (e.g., known DPP-IV inhibitors such as sitagliptin).
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Mesitaldehyde are conducted using cell lines relevant to diabetes research (e.g., pancreatic beta cells or intestinal cells). Cells are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM for 24-72 hours. DPP-IV activity is measured in cell lysates or conditioned media. Glucose uptake and metabolism are assessed. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls (e.g., known DPP-IV inhibitors).
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Mesitaldehyde are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. Diabetes studies may be conducted in rodent models of type 2 diabetes or diabetic neuropathy. The compound is administered via intraperitoneal or oral routes at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Blood glucose levels are measured. DPP-IV activity is assessed in plasma or tissue samples. Neuropathy endpoints may be evaluated. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with vehicle-treated controls.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Mesitaldehyde have not been extensively characterized. As a small, lipophilic molecule (MW 148.20, C10H12O), it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and tissue distribution. The compound is an endogenous metabolite and likely undergoes hepatic metabolism through oxidation and conjugation, with elimination via renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Mesitaldehyde indicate that it is generally well-tolerated at concentrations used for research. As an endogenous metabolite, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile. No significant toxicity has been reported. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.

  • 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)
