Description Tulipalin A (α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone) (2-Methylenebutyrolactone) which has some phytotoxicity is a natural compound extracted from Tulipa gesneriana.
In vitro Tulipalin A-induced phytotoxicity is persistent allergic contact dermatitis documented in floral workers exposed to Alstroemeria and its cultivars [1]. THP-1 cells showed strong robustness to Tulipalin A treatment since only five proteins were altered. In contrast, in Jurkat T cells an increase in the abundance of 66 proteins and a decrease of six proteins was determined [2].
Cell Research The influence of TUPA on cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. Cells were seeded in flat bottom 96-well plates at a density of 4 x 10^5 cells/ml. Afterward, Jurkat cells were exposed to TUPA in concentrations ranging from 10 to 82 μM. THP-1 cells (4 x 10^5 cells / ml) were exposed to concentrations ranging from 20 to 163 μM. After incubation for 72 h under humidified conditions (5 % CO2, 37 °C), 10 μl of MTT (5 mg/ml) per well were added and cells were further incubated for 3 h. Subsequently, 200 μl DMSO was added for cell lysis and formazan solubilization following incubation of the plates for 15 min while shaking. Afterward, absorbance was recorded at 550 nm and 620 nm using a microplate reader. In each plate, cells remained either untreated (negative control) or were exposed to Etoposide (2.5 μM) as a positive control. Using linear regression of the cell viability as a function of the compound concentrations, the concentrations leading to viability decreases of 10 % and 50 %, respectively, were calculated [2].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
