| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Tetradecanedioic acid is primarily used as a chemical reagent and industrial intermediate rather than as a pharmacological agent. It is an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid and a human metabolic byproduct. The compound's in vitro activity is related to its chemical properties as a long-chain dicarboxylic acid rather than specific biological effects. It may be used in biochemical studies of fatty acid metabolism as a substrate or reference compound. Tetradecanedioic acid is also used in the synthesis of synthetic fragrances and high-grade engineering plastics. Its role as an endogenously produced metabolite suggests it may participate in normal metabolic processes, though its specific biological functions require further investigation.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (9.68 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.68 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.) |

*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.
