Product Introduction

Octanoic acid AI Summary

Octanoic acid exhibits diverse biological activities, notably including: 1. **Antibacterial and Antifungal Effects**: Octanoic acid demonstrates inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis PCI219 spores with an IC50 value of around 53,500,000 nM. It shows moderate to strong antibacterial effects against Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium acnes, and other bacteria with MIC values ranging from 200 to 1600 µg/mL but has limited efficacy against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter aerogenes with MIC values exceeding 800 µg/mL. It also exhibits antifungal activity against species such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis with MIC values between 50 to 200 µg/mL. 2. **Antioxidant Activity**: The compound shows antioxidant properties in the MTT assay, indicating its ability to scavenge free radicals with an absorbance change (deltaA) of 0.17 at 25 ppm. 3. **Enzyme Modulation and Receptor Activity**: Octanoic acid acts as a modulator of Lamin A splicing (0.9 nM potency), an agonist for the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (3162.3 nM), and an inhibitor of ALDH1A1 (44,668.4 nM). It also displays agonist activity in glucocorticoid receptor signaling assays and inhibits virus-induced cytotoxicity in VERO-6 cells. 4. **Nematicidal Activity**: The compound exhibits significant nematicidal activity against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (mortality rates of 50.1% to 100%) and Meloidogyne incognita, including inhibition of egg hatching. 5. **Cholinesterase Inhibition**: It shows inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (9.49%) and butyrylcholinesterase (3.49%) at a concentration of 10 µM. 6. **Antiviral Activity**: Octanoic acid inhibits SARS-CoV-2 3CL-Pro protease by 32.09% at 20 µM and demonstrates moderate to weak inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 virus-induced cytotoxicity in VERO-6 cells with an IC50 value greater than 20,000 nM. 7. **GPR84 Activity**: It acts as a competitive antagonist for GPR84 (Ki = 19,600 nM), showing weak agonist activity in various assays with higher EC50 values. These varied bioactivities highlight Octanoic acid as a multi-faceted chemical with potential applications across antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, nematicidal, and antiviral domains..

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:

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 DMSO TargetMol | 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 DMSO TargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 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 ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
