Product Description
Atraric acid (Methyl atrarate) is a specific androgen receptor antagonist (inhibitor) with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Atraric acid inhibits endogenous prostate-specific antigen gene expression in LNCaP and C4-2 cells. Atraric acid can also inhibit the synthesis of NO and cytokines, and inhibit the MAPK-NFκB signaling pathway. Atraric acid may be utilized in the study of prostate disease and inflammatory diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Androgen receptor, NO synthesis, MAPK-NFκB pathway[1][2]
ln Vitro
The transactivation function mediated by dihydrotestosterone-induced human AR is repressed by atrazine (10 μM; CV1 cells)[1]. The expression of the PSA gene is inhibited in both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent PCa cells by atraric acid (10 μM)[1]. In LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, traric acid (1-300 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits prostaglandin E2, nitric oxide, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, but has no effect on cell viability[2]. In LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, astraricic acid (100 and 300 μM; 18 h or 4 h) exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by downregulating the expression of phosphorylated IκB, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) signaling pathway[2].
ln Vivo
In LPS-induced endotoxin shock mice, traric acid (10, 30 mg/kg; ip; single dosage) decreases pathological damages and suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines[2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 100 mg/mL (509.68 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 5.0968 mL 25.4842 mL 50.9684 mL
5 mM 1.0194 mL 5.0968 mL 10.1937 mL
10 mM 0.5097 mL 2.5484 mL 5.0968 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
