Product Description
Tween 65 is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Tween 65 (Polysorbate 65) (CAS 9005-71-4) is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant widely used as an emulsifier in the preparation of stable oil-in-water drug emulsions. It is a polyoxyethylene ether of tristearate produced by esterifying the hydroxyl group of dehydrated sorbitol with stearic acid, followed by reaction with ethylene oxide. Tween 65 typically exists as a liquid to soft solid or as a pale yellow oil to brown waxy solid at room temperature.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a non-ionic surfactant, Tween 65 does not have a defined pharmacological target. It is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, functioning as an emulsifier, solubilizing agent, and wetting agent. It is used in the preparation of stable oil-in-water drug emulsions, as a solubilizing agent for essential oils and oil-soluble vitamins, and as a wetting agent in oral and parenteral suspension formulations.
ln Vitro
No specific in vitro pharmacological activity data are available for Tween 65 as it is an excipient rather than a therapeutic agent. In pharmaceutical research, the compound is evaluated for its emulsifying properties, solubilization capacity, and compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its activity is assessed in terms of formulation performance, stability, and safety rather than direct biological activity.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo pharmacological activity data have been documented for Tween 65 as it is a pharmaceutical excipient. The compound is used in drug formulations to improve the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its in vivo effects are related to its role as a formulation component rather than as a therapeutic agent. It is widely used in oral and parenteral formulations.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular assays, Tween 65 is characterized by standard analytical techniques including HPLC, FTIR, and surface tension measurements. The compound can be evaluated for its emulsifying properties, critical micelle concentration, and surface activity. Typical protocols involve preparing serial dilutions of the compound in aqueous buffer and measuring surface tension using a tensiometer. The compound is also evaluated for its solubilization capacity for various hydrophobic compounds.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based studies, Tween 65 may be used as a component of cell culture media or as a solubilizing agent for hydrophobic test compounds. The compound is typically dissolved in aqueous buffers or cell culture medium at appropriate concentrations. Cells are cultured under standard conditions and exposed to Tween 65-containing formulations to assess biocompatibility and potential cytotoxic effects. Appropriate controls should be included in the experimental design.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, Tween 65 may be used as an excipient in drug formulations for administration via various routes including oral and parenteral. The compound is typically formulated with active pharmaceutical ingredients to improve solubility and bioavailability. Dosing solutions should be prepared according to the specific formulation protocol. Standard animal welfare guidelines should be followed for all in vivo studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Tween 65 are not well characterized as it is a pharmaceutical excipient. The compound has an exact mass of 1010.407. It is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant that is dispersible in fats, oils, and water. Flash point: 300°F (149°C). Storage: room temperature. The compound should be stored in a sealed container away from moisture and incompatible materials.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Tween 65 (Polysorbate 65) is generally regarded as safe for use as a pharmaceutical excipient at appropriate concentrations. The compound is for research and pharmaceutical use and should be handled with standard laboratory safety practices. Specific LD50 values and detailed toxicological profiles have been established for regulatory purposes. Appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety glasses should be worn when handling.

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
