| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Interactions
Linear saturated fatty acid methyl esters and lectins exhibit coagulation effects on mouse lymphocytes. The degree of coagulation strongly depends on the length of the acyl group, with methyl tetradecanoate showing the strongest coagulation. Analogs containing 10, 12, or 16 acyl carbon atoms have weaker effects, while analogs with fewer than 10 or more than 16 acyl carbon atoms are inactive. /Methyl ester/ Methyl decanoate has a favorable safety profile for its intended use as a food flavoring and biochemical reagent. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a food additive. It may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Inhalation of vapors should be avoided. The compound should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in the laboratory. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
