Product Description
Picolinic acid (PCL 016) is a molecule with local anti-viral effect found to inhibit adenovirus replication in rabbits.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vivo
In comparison to the control, topical administration of 1.5% PCL, 0.8% PCL, 0.369% PCL (pH7), 0.369% PCL (pH4), and 0.5% CDV significantly reduced the number of Ad-positive cultures and their entire length (days 1–14). The Ad5/NZW rabbit eye model's advertising shedding. The effectiveness of picolinic acid on the length of AD shedding appeared to follow a concentration-dependent pattern, however it was not statistically significant. Concentrations of picolinic acid do not cause any appreciable ocular toxicity [1].

Additional Infomation
Picolinic acid is a pyridine monocarboxylic acid with its carboxyl group at the 2-position. It is an intermediate in tryptophan metabolism. It serves as a matrix material for MALDI and is also a human metabolite. It is the conjugate acid of Picolinic acid esters. PCL-016, or Picolinic acid, is the active pharmaceutical ingredient of tryptophan, a Picolinic acid metabolite. It possesses anti-infective and immunomodulatory effects, with approximately 25-50 mg produced daily by the human body through the breakdown of tryptophan. PCL-016 plays a crucial role in zinc transport. As a therapeutic agent, this molecule inhibits the function of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) by binding to them, altering their structure, and disrupting zinc binding. ZFPs are involved in viral replication and packaging, as well as normal cellular homeostasis. Picolinic acid has been shown to possess antiviral activity both in vitro and in vivo, sometimes synergistically with other cytokines (such as interferon-gamma) to influence immune responses. Therefore, acne vulgaris, herpes, and other viral infections are potential therapeutic targets for PCL-016.
Picolinic acid has been reported to be found in Fusarium lateritium, Aloe africana, and other organisms with relevant data.

Drug Indications

It has been studied for the treatment of acne, cold sores (herpes labialis), and sexually transmitted diseases.
Mechanism of Action

As a therapeutic agent, this molecule inhibits the function of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) by binding to them, altering their structure, and disrupting zinc binding.
Pharmacodynamics

PCL-016, or Picolinic acid, is a Picolinic acid metabolite of tryptophan. It exerts its anti-infective and immunomodulatory effects by participating in zinc transport. ZFPs are involved in viral replication and packaging, as well as normal cellular homeostasis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that Picolinic acid possesses antiviral activity.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (20.31 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 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 (20.31 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 25.0 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.

*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
