| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
This study investigated the metabolism and distribution of (3)H-labeled 2-amino-2-methylpropanol in rats on normal and choline-deficient diets. Thirty minutes after intraperitoneal injection, tritium was detected in the serum of both groups, but tritium levels were generally lower in the choline-deficient group. The excretion of amino acids in the urine of both normal-diet rats was higher than that of the choline-deficient group, and only unchanged amino acids were excreted. Compared to normal rats, the liver of the choline-deficient group showed higher uptake and retention of the marker. Most of the marker was found in the cytoplasm of the liver and kidneys. Pharmacokinetic data for 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol are not available, as the compound is not a drug and is not administered to living organisms. It is a solid with a melting point of 30-32°C and is soluble in water. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
