| Targets |
6-Undecanone is a ligand of Odorant-binding protein 22 (OBP22) with weak binding capacity. It can be used as a negative control for Aedes aegypti mosquito infection research. It is considered an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. As a ketone, it acts as a solvent and intermediate, stabilizing intermediates in biochemical reactions or acting as a reactant.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, 6-Undecanone acts as a solvent and intermediate in biochemical reactions. It interacts with various enzymes and proteins, facilitating reactions by stabilizing intermediates or acting as a reactant. It is used in the analysis of lignin pyrolysis in aerosol samples. It can also affect the permeability and function of cellular membranes, potentially leading to changes in cell signaling and metabolic pathways.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, 6-Undecanone is used as a negative control for Aedes aegypti mosquito infection research. It can also be used as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. In animal models, high doses can exhibit toxic effects, including potential damage to cellular membranes and disruption of metabolic processes. It has been shown to be moderately toxic by ingestion.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For OBP22 binding assays, OBP22 protein is immobilized on a sensor chip, and varying concentrations of 6-Undecanone (e.g., 1-1000 uM) are injected in a suitable buffer (e.g., PBS with 0.05% Tween 20) at a flow rate of 20-50 uL/min at 25degC. Binding affinity (KD) is measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For enzyme inhibition assays (e.g., AChE), 6-Undecanone (0.1-100 mM) is incubated with AChE in a suitable buffer (e.g., 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, with 1 mg/mL BSA) at 25degC for 15 minutes. Acetylthiocholine iodide (1 mM) and DTNB (0.5 mM) are added, and absorbance is read at 412 nm for 10 minutes.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, relevant cell lines (e.g., neuronal cells for AChE inhibition studies) are cultured in appropriate medium (e.g., DMEM + 10% FBS) at 37degC, 5% CO2. 6-Undecanone is added at concentrations ranging from 10 uM to 10 mM for 24-48 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays. AChE activity in cell lysates is measured as described above. Membrane permeability can be assessed by measuring the uptake of fluorescent dyes.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For Aedes aegypti infection studies, mosquitoes are infected with a pathogen (e.g., dengue virus) via blood meal. 6-Undecanone is used as a negative control (e.g., applied to a surface or added to the blood meal). Mosquito survival and infection rates are compared to positive controls (e.g., known repellent or insecticide). For toxicity studies, rats or mice are administered 6-Undecanone orally at doses of 10-500 mg/kg. Animals are observed for signs of toxicity for 7-14 days. For acetylcholinesterase inhibition studies, rats are treated with 6-Undecanone (e.g., 50-200 mg/kg i.p. or p.o.), and brain AChE activity is measured in homogenates after 1-4 hours.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
6-Undecanone is a small lipophilic ketone (MW 170.29, logP ~3.5) with good membrane permeability. After oral administration, it is rapidly absorbed. It is metabolized in the liver via reduction to secondary alcohol followed by glucuronidation, and by omega/omega-1 oxidation followed by conjugation. The elimination half-life (t1/2) is approximately 1-2 hours. It is excreted primarily in urine as glucuronide conjugates.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
6-Undecanone is moderately toxic by ingestion: mouse LD50 (intravenous) 117 mg/kg. It may cause skin irritation (H315). When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. May cause respiratory tract irritation. The JECFA (2002, session 59) evaluated it as no safety concern when used as a flavoring agent. Poison by intravenous route.
