Product Description
Vanillylmandelic acid is the end product of the metabolism of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Vanillylmandelic acid may also serve as a marker for neurotransmitter metabolism disorders. Vanillylmandelic acid has anti-oxidant effect, and its IC50 for scavenging DPPH free radicals is 33 μM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite Microbial Metabolite
ln Vitro
Vanillylmandelic acid has antioxidant action; the IC50 value is calculated using the UV-Vis decolorization DPPH experiment, where the quantity of VMA needed to eliminate 50% of the initial concentration of free radical is 33*10-6 M[1].
ln Vivo
A significant difference is observed between the groups who received vanillylmandelic acid (intra-arterial injection during a 1-minute interval; 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg; the 60-minute observation period) and the control group. After 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg, vanillylmandelic acid reduces heart rate by 17.5%, 17.9%, and 18.9%, respectively. When wistar rats are given 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg, respectively, their mean blood pressure decreases by 13.5% in control animals and by 37%, 23%, and 26% in wistar rats[1].

Additional Infomation
Vanillylmandelic acid is an aromatic ether that is the 3-O-methyl ether of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is an aromatic ether, a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a mandelic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a vanillylmandelate.
Vanillylmandelic acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655).
Vanillylmandelic acid has been reported in Homo sapiens, Pogostemon cablin, and Phaseolus vulgaris with data available.
Vanillylmandelic Acid is an aromatic ether that is a product of catecholamine metabolism. Vanillylmandelic acid may be a used as marker for tumors that secrete catecholamines, such as neuroblastoma or pheochromocytoma.
A 3-O-methyl ether of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid. It is an end-stage metabolite of CATECHOLAMINES; EPINEPHRINE; and NOREPINEPHRINE.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 250 mg/mL (1261.54 mM)
H2O: 100 mg/mL (504.62 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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
