Product Description
Pro-xylane (Hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol) is a bioactive c-glycoside (C-glycoside) in aqueous media, which can act as a biosynthetic activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Pro-xylane is the first "green" chemical used in cosmetics.
Pro-Xylane (hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol) is a cosmetic ingredient derived from xylose, a natural component of glycosaminoglycans and hemicellulose. It has a molecular formula of C8H16O5 and a molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol. Pro-Xylane is a C-glycoside that acts as a biosynthetic activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in aqueous media. It is used as an anti-aging agent in skin care products.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
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.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pro-Xylane has a molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol and a molecular formula of C8H16O5. The IUPAC name is (2S,3R,4S,5R)-2-(2-hydroxypropyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol. It is a solid at room temperature. It is soluble in water and organic solvents. It is typically stored at room temperature. Its purity is typically ≥99%.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Pro-Xylane is generally recognized as safe for use in cosmetic products. It is considered to have low toxicity and is well-tolerated by the skin. It is eco-friendly and biodegradable. It is not intended for human ingestion or 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.

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
