Natural lichen depside

ln Vitro |
Lichens are an important source of phenolic compounds and have been intensively investigated for their biological and pharmacological activities. Lecanoric acid (1), a lichen depside, was isolated from a Parmotrema tinctorum specimen and treated with alcohols to produce orsellinic acid (2) and orsellinates (3) to (9) (2,4-dihydroxy-6-n-methyl benzoates). Free radical scavenging activity of methyl (3), ethyl (4), n-propyl (5), n-butyl (6), iso-propyl (7), sec-butyl (8), tert-butyl (9) orsellinates was evaluated using 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Results showed that chain elongation of methyl (3) to n-butyl (6) causes a rise in the antioxidant activity. However, iso-propyl (7) and tert-butyl (9) were more active than the correspondent linear compounds, although sec-butyl (8) was less active among the chain ramified compounds. All the orsellinates were less active than lecanoric acid (1) and orsellinic acid (2). Orcinol (10) and resorcinol (11) were also determined for comparison with activities of orsellinates. Gallic acid (12) was used as control.[1]

Additional Infomation |
O-orsellinic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid that is 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid in which the hydrogen at position 6 is replaced by a methyl group. It has a role as a metabolite, a marine metabolite and a fungal metabolite. It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid and a member of resorcinols. It is a conjugate acid of an o-orsellinate.
2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid has been reported in Phomopsis velata, Penicillium cyclopium, and other organisms with data available. |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (12.37 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (12.37 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (12.37 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
