| Additional Infomation |
Octadecanedioic acid is an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, a compound in which both terminal methyl groups of octadecane are replaced by carboxyl groups. It is both an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid and octadecane. It is the conjugate acid of the octadecanoate anion and the octadecanoate diacid anion. Octadecanedioic acid has been reported to exist in Arabidopsis thaliana and radiata pine, and relevant data are available for reference.
Octadecanedioic acid is a long-chain dicarboxylic acid used as a chemical intermediate and research reagent. It is also known as 1,16-hexadecanedicarboxylic acid. The compound is an endogenously produced metabolite found in serum free fatty acids in Reye's syndrome. It is available in high purity (≥98%) for research applications. Its role as a building block in organic synthesis makes it a valuable tool in chemical research. |

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~318.01 mM)

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (7.95 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 (7.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
