Product Description
Phytic acid (Inositol hexaphosphate) is a phosphorus storage compound in seeds and grains. Phytic acid is known as a food inhibitor and has a strong ability to chelate multivalent metal ions, especially zinc, calcium, iron and protein residues. Phytic acid inhibits superoxide-derived xanthine oxidase (XO) and has antioxidant, neuro-protective (neuro-protection), and anti~inflammatory effects.
Phytic acid (CAS 83-86-3), also known as inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), is a naturally occurring compound found in many plant-based foods, including grains, legumes, and nuts. It is the principal storage form of phosphorus in many plant tissues, especially bran and seeds. Phytic acid is a highly charged molecule that chelates essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, making it both a potent antioxidant and an anti-nutrient in food science. It has a variety of biological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. It can act as a cofactor in DNA repair by nonhomologous end-joining.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Phytic acid targets multiple pathways. It chelates essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. It acts as a potent antioxidant. It has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. It can act as a cofactor in DNA repair by nonhomologous end-joining. It inhibits cell differentiation and cell proliferation.
ln Vitro
With an IC50 of about 30 mM, phytotic acid (inositol) inhibits the production of uric acid from xanthine. Phytic acid has a significant effect on superoxide formation; the IC50 is approximately 6 mM, suggesting that the XO domain that generates superoxide is more susceptible to phytic acid [3].
In vitro, Phytic acid has been shown to have antineoplastic action in colon carcinogenesis. It inhibits cell differentiation and cell proliferation. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. Quantitative IC50 values for its effects are not detailed in the publicly available sources.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Phytic acid has been shown to have antineoplastic action in colon carcinogenesis. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. As a natural compound found in foods, it is consumed in the diet and has various health effects. Detailed dose-response and pharmacokinetic data in animal models are limited.
Enzyme Assay
For cell-free assays, the antioxidant activity of Phytic acid can be measured using DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging assays. Its metal chelating activity can be assessed by measuring its ability to chelate iron or other metal ions using colorimetric assays. Its anti-inflammatory activity can be assessed by measuring its inhibition of inflammatory enzymes.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, the anti-cancer activity of Phytic acid is assessed in cancer cell lines by measuring cell viability using MTT or SRB assays. Its anti-inflammatory activity is assessed in LPS-stimulated macrophages by measuring cytokine production. Its effect on cell differentiation and proliferation can be assessed in appropriate cell models.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, Phytic acid can be administered orally in animal models of cancer, inflammation, or diabetes. In cancer models, endpoints include tumor incidence and growth. In inflammation models, endpoints include inflammatory cytokine levels and tissue histopathology. In diabetes models, endpoints include blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Phytic acid (CAS 83-86-3) has a molecular formula of C6H18O24P6 and a molecular weight of 660.04 g/mol. It is also known as inositol hexaphosphate (IP6). Appearance:淡黄色至淡褐色浆状液体 (light yellow to light brown syrupy liquid). Solubility: soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone; almost insoluble in ether, benzene, and chloroform. Storage: typical for organic acids (cool, dark place). Purity: typically 50-70% in water for commercial solutions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Phytic acid has low toxicity. It is a natural compound found in foods and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). However, high doses can chelate essential minerals and may lead to deficiencies.

Additional Infomation
Inositol hexaphosphate is an inositol hexaphosphate derivative in which each hydroxyl group of inositol is monophosphorylated. It has multiple functions, including as an iron chelator, antitumor agent, signaling molecule, E. coli metabolite, mouse metabolite, and cofactor. It is the conjugate acid of inositol hexaphosphate (12-). Phytic acid is being investigated in the clinical trial NCT01000233 (Value of Oral Phytic Acid (InsP6) in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Calcification Progression). Inositol hexaphosphate is a metabolite found or produced in E. coli (K12 strain, MG1655 strain). Phytic acid has also been reported in soybeans, corn, and other organisms with relevant data. Inositol hexaphosphate is a metabolite found or produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It can be used as a chelating agent to remove trace heavy metal ions and also has calcium-lowering effects.
Phytic acid is a research-grade compound and is not a drug. It is used as an antioxidant, chelating agent, and preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in cancer, inflammation, and diabetes. No clinical trials have been reported for therapeutic use.

*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.
