| Targets |
Pro-Xylane targets the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin. It effectively promotes the synthesis of collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid in the dermis. By activating GAG biosynthesis, it improves skin hydration and elasticity. Its mechanism of action is related to its role as a biosynthetic activator of extracellular matrix components.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Pro-Xylane is a biosynthetic activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). It promotes the synthesis of collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid in the dermis. Its activity has been confirmed in various in vitro skin models. It is the first example of a 'Green' chemical used in cosmetics.
|
| ln Vivo |
Pro-Xylane improves skin hydration and elasticity in vivo. It has anti-aging, moisturizing, and skin-firming effects. It is used in cosmetic products to enhance the skin's protective barrier. It is eco-friendly and biodegradable.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Pro-Xylane does not have a typical enzyme/receptor binding assay. Its activity is assessed based on its ability to stimulate GAG synthesis in skin cell cultures. Skin fibroblasts or other relevant cell types are treated with the compound, and the production of GAGs, collagen, and hyaluronic acid is measured using biochemical assays or histochemical staining.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular experiments for Pro-Xylane involve treating skin fibroblasts or keratinocytes with the compound and measuring its effects on GAG synthesis, collagen production, and cell proliferation. The synthesis of hyaluronic acid and other GAGs is measured using ELISA or other biochemical methods. Collagen synthesis is assessed by measuring collagen production or by using specific stains.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Pro-Xylane would involve topical application of the compound to animal skin to assess its effects on skin hydration, elasticity, and thickness. Its effects on GAG and collagen synthesis in the skin would be assessed by histological analysis and biochemical assays.
|

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.82 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 (10.82 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

*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.
