| Targets |
Hexatriacontane has no specific biological target. As a saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon, it is inert and does not interact with biological receptors. It can act as a hydrophobic matrix component in model membrane studies but has no pharmacological activity. Its primary use is as an analytical standard for hydrocarbon analysis.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free assays, hexatriacontane is used as a non-polar standard for GC-MS calibration. It can be used to test the efficiency of hydrocarbon extraction methods or to study the partitioning of alkanes in organic phases. It has no inhibitory or activating effects on enzymes or receptors at relevant concentrations.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo studies for hexatriacontane are available. Long-chain alkanes are generally poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and are excreted unchanged in feces. They are considered biologically inert. If absorbed, they may accumulate in adipose tissue but are not metabolized to a significant extent.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell assays, hexatriacontane is analyzed by GC-FID or GC-MS. A sample is dissolved in hexane or chloroform (0.1-1 mg/mL) and 1 microL is injected onto a non-polar capillary column (e.g., DB-5). Temperature program: 100degC to 300degC at 10degC/min, hold for 10 minutes. Retention time is approximately 20-25 minutes. Calibration curves are prepared using known concentrations of the standard.
|
| Cell Assay |
No cell-based assays for hexatriacontane are available. Due to its high hydrophobicity and inertness, it is unlikely to have significant cellular effects. It may be used as a control compound to confirm that observed cellular effects are not due to non-specific hydrophobic interactions. No cytotoxicity is expected at relevant concentrations.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal models specific to hexatriacontane are available. For related alkanes, a typical toxicity study would involve oral administration to rodents at doses up to 5000 mg/kg to determine LD50. No significant toxicity is expected, and the compound would be excreted in feces.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for hexatriacontane is not available. Long-chain alkanes are poorly absorbed from the intestine due to their high hydrophobicity. Any absorbed fraction would likely be stored in adipose tissue and eliminated very slowly. It is not metabolized by common phase I or phase II enzymes. For research use, store at room temperature in a sealed container.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary
Identification and Uses: Hexadecane is a higher n-alkane containing 36 carbon atoms (C36). Human Exposure and Toxicity: No data available. Animal Studies: No data available. Hexatriacontane has low acute toxicity. The oral LD50 is expected to be >5000 mg/kg. It may be a mild skin and eye irritant. Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation. Chronic exposure is not associated with carcinogenicity or mutagenicity. It is not a hazardous substance under GHS classification. |
| Additional Infomation |
Hexatriacontane is an alkane containing 36 carbon atoms and having a straight-chain structure. It has been reported to exist in Madagascar vanilla (Vanilla madagascariensis), autumn datura (Mandragora autumnalis), and other organisms with relevant data.
Hexatriacontane is a research chemical, not an approved drug. It is used as an analytical standard for hydrocarbon analysis, including gas chromatography and mass spectrometry calibration. It is also used in the study of waxes, lubricants, and materials science. It is for laboratory use only and not for human consumption. |

| Preparing Stock Solutions | 1 mg | 5 mg | 10 mg | |
| 1 mM | 1.9725 mL | 9.8625 mL | 19.7250 mL | |

*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.
