Ascr#7

Catalog No. T38515Cas No. 1139837-37-8

Ascr#7 is a small-molecule glycolipid pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, belonging to the ascaroside family. These compounds are often referred to as "dauer pheromones" and serve as critical chemical signals regulating development, social behavior, and stress responses in nematodes. The expression of Ascr#7 is strongly dependent on diet and developmental stage. Its primary biological function is to induce the formation of long-lived and highly stress-resistant dauer larvae. This mechanism allows nematodes to arrest normal development and enter a specialized diapause state for survival during adverse environmental conditions such as food scarcity or high population density.

Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
Ascr#7 is a small-molecule glycolipid pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, belonging to the ascaroside family. These compounds are often referred to as "dauer pheromones" and serve as critical chemical signals regulating development, social behavior, and stress responses in nematodes. The expression of Ascr#7 is strongly dependent on diet and developmental stage. Its primary biological function is to induce the formation of long-lived and highly stress-resistant dauer larvae. This mechanism allows nematodes to arrest normal development and enter a specialized diapause state for survival during adverse environmental conditions such as food scarcity or high population density.
In vitro
Ascr#7 acts as a potent developmental regulator in C. elegans by triggering the shift to the dauer pathway via sensory GPCRs. Its biosynthesis and secretion are dynamically modulated by nutritional status and population density, serving as a proxy for environmental quality [1].

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experiments For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.
Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSOTargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH2OTargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.

This example is provided solely to demonstrate the use of the In Vivo Formulation Calculator and does not constitute a recommended formulation for any specific compound. Please select an appropriate dissolution and formulation strategy based on your experimental model and route of administration.
