Product Description

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Lactating rats dosed with (3)H-retronecine excreted within 3 hr approx 0.08% of the applied radioactivity in the milk mainly as yet not identified water soluble retronecine-derived metabolites and approx 0.02% as unchanged pyrrolizidine alkaloids (pas). Highest tissue levels of pas and metabolites, 6 hr after admin were found in liver and lungs.
Metabolism / Metabolites
Steric hindrance around the ester groups was the major factor inhibiting hydrolysis of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Enzymic hydrolysis of retronecine di-isovalerate occurred primarily at the allylic 9-ester group. The results supported the view that a factor contributing to the lower hepatotoxicity of semisynthetic retronecine diesters compared with some natural pyrrolizidine alkaloids, is their greater susceptibility to detoxication by hydrolysis.
Levels of pyrrolic metabolites were measured in the livers of rats given some pyrrolizidine alkaloids and semisynthetic derivatives. Structural and chemical features favoring the formation of such metabolites were defined. The most important of these were steric hindrance or chemical properties giving resistance to ester hydrolysis; lipophilic character, allowing access to hepatic microsomal enzymes; a conformation favoring microsomal oxidation of the pyrroline ring in preference to n-oxidation.
Levels of pyrrolic metabolites were measured in the livers of rats given some pyrrolizidine alkaloids and semisynthetic derivatives. ... Heliotridine-based alkaloids gave more pyrrole than similar retronecine esters, heliotridine ditiglate gave less pyrrole than retronecine ditiglate because the former was more open to hydrolytic attack.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 6.4437 mL 32.2186 mL 64.4371 mL
5 mM 1.2887 mL 6.4437 mL 12.8874 mL
10 mM 0.6444 mL 3.2219 mL 6.4437 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.

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)
