Description

In vitro

Carminic acid, the well-known red dyestuff from cochineal insects (Dactylopius spp.), is a potent feeding deterrent to ants. This deterrency may be indicative of the natural function of the compound, which may have evolved in cochineals as a chemical weapon against predation. The behavior of an unusual predator is described-the carnivorous caterpillar of a pyralid moth (Laetilia coccidivora)-which is undeterred by Carminic acid and feeds on cochineals. CONCLUSIONS:The animal has the remarkable habit of utilizing the ingested Carminic acid for defensive purposes of its own.

For example, your dosage is 10 mg/kg Each animal weighs 20 g, and the dosage volume is 100 μL . TargetMol | Animal experiments

A total of 10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5% TargetMol | reagent

DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。

Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSO TargetMol | reagent

(mother liquor concentration of 40 mg/mL), if you need to configure a concentration that exceeds the solubility of the product, please contact us first.

Preparation method for in vivo formula: Take 50 μL DMSO TargetMol | reagent

main solution, add 300 μLPEG300 TargetMol | reagent

mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLSaline/PBS/ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent

mix well and clarify

For Reference Only. Please develop an appropriate dissolution method based on your laboratory animals and route of administration.
