Product Description
Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Type I, Viscosity: 30mPa.s) is a biochemical compound that can be used as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Drugs are released from hypromellose in a regulated manner, which effectively lengthens the time the medication is released and its therapeutic effect [1]. Pharmaceuticals with prolonged release have long included hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or hypromellose. These polymers are employed in matrix tablets, and when they come into touch with water, they hydrate and form a viscous gel barrier inside and around the tablet. The rate of water diffusion into the dry polymer, the rate of hydration and gel formation, the viscosity of hydrated hypromellose, and the rate of coagulation of hypromellose are among the hypromellose properties that influence drug release rates. Rate of glue erosion [2].
ln Vivo
For dry eye syndrome, puncttal sealing with 2% hypromellose is an inexpensive and secure adjunctive treatment. Following hypromellose occlusion, there was a noticeable decrease in symptoms according to studies using fluorescein and rose bengal staining [3]. In mice given a high-fat diet, hypromellose can successfully enhance blood glucose metabolism and reduce oxidative stress. The modification of hepatic glucose-regulating enzyme activity and the activation of hepatic and erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes are partially responsible for the antihyperglycemic and antioxidant actions of hypromellose. Hypromellose can be employed as a biomaterial in the production of functional foods or as a medication to treat oxidative stress and hyperglycemia brought on by a high fat diet [4].

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Reconstitution Calculator allows you to calculate the volume of solvent required to reconstitute your vial.

  • Enter the mass of the reagent and the desired reconstitution concentration as well as the correct units
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer appears in the Volume (to add to vial) box
