Product Description
Methyl palmitate, an acaricidal compound occurring in Lantana camara, inhibits phagocytic activity and immune response. Additionally, methyl palmitate has anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
RETENTION & DISTRIBUTION OF (14)-CARBON ACTIVITY IN TISSUE LIPIDS AND FATTY ACIDS WERE DETERMINED 2 DAYS AFTER ADMIN OF (14)C-LABELED PALMITATE METHYL ESTER BY STOMACH TUBE. RETENTION WAS LOW IN YOUNG RATS WITHOUT ADIPOSE TISSUE. RETENTION IN THE BRAIN WAS FOUND AFTER 17 DAYS. THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACTIVITY WAS FOUND IN THE CARCASS.
Biological Half-Life
THE UTILIZATION OF (14)C-LABELED PALMITIC ACID BY RATS WAS DETERMINED BY THE LEVEL OF (14)-CARBON IN EXPIRED AIR AFTER ADMIN OF PALMITATE METHYL ESTER BY STOMACH TUBE. TWO SUCCESSIVE PEAKS IN THE OUTPUT OF LABELED CO2 OCCURRED, AT 3 & 18 HR. PALMITIC ACID ADMIN WAS ONLY HALF THE SIZE OF THE 1ST PEAK. THE 2 SUCCESSIVE PEAKS INDICATED A RECIRCULATION OF FATTY ACIDS IN THE RAT. T/2 OF THE LABELED PALMITIC ACID WAS 3 HR.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Interactions
METHYL PALMITATE, AN INHIBITOR OF RETICULOENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM (RES) FUNCTION, INHIBITED BOTH THE RES FUNCTION & SERUM LYSOZYME INCREASES WHEN ADMIN TO GLUCAN TREATED MICE.
GLUCAN-TREATED, ENDOTOXIN-SENSITIVE RATS ADMIN METHYL PALMITATE, A RETICULOENDOTHELIAL DEPRESSANT WHICH RENDERS RATS ENDOTOXIN RESISTANT, FOLLOWED BY SALMONELLA ENTERITIDIS ENDOTOXIN, RESULTED IN ENHANCED ELEVATION OF PLASMA GLUTAMIC OXALACETIC TRANSAMINASE & HYPOGLYCEMIA.
THE VASCULAR REMOVAL & ORGAN UPTAKE OF INCOMPATIBLE SHEEP RED CELLS LABELED WITH CHROMIUM IN MICE WAS DECR DUE TO DECR VASCULAR CLEARANCE CAUSED BY FAILURE IN PHAGOCYTOSIS BY BOTH LIVER & SPLEEN AFTER ADMIN OF METHYL PALMITATE, A RETICULOENDOTHELIAL DEPRESSANT.
THE ADMIN OF METHYL PALMITATE 100 MG/100 G, IV TO RATS CAUSED AN INCR IN SURVIVAL AT ENDOTOXIN DOSES OF 0.75 TO 3.0 MG/100 G. ALTHOUGH A MEAN 38% MORTALITY WAS CAUSED BY SALMONELLA ENTERITIDIS ENTOXIN 0.5 MG/100 G, IV IN NORMAL RATS , A 6-FOLD INCR OF THIS DOSE DID NOT CAUSE MORTALITY IN THE METHYL PALMITATE GROUP. METHYL PALMITATE, WHEN ADMIN TO GLUCAN-TREATED RATS, CAUSED NORMAL PHAGOCYTIC ACTIVITY IN THE PRESENCE OF RETICULOENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM HYPERTROPHY.

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 corn oil and mix evenly.

Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.6975 mL 18.4877 mL 36.9754 mL
5 mM 0.7395 mL 3.6975 mL 7.3951 mL
10 mM 0.3698 mL 1.8488 mL 3.6975 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
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.
