Biological Activity
| Targets | Human Endogenous Metabolite |
| ln Vitro | Another name for primary hyperoxaluria type 2 (PH2) is L-glyceric aciduria. L-glyceric acid is excreted as a result of the metabolic abnormality, which is caused by deficits in D-glycerate dehydrogenase and glyoxylate reductase. This is the primary diagnostic marker for PH2[1][2]. |

| Additional Infomation |
L-glyceric acid is an optically active form of glyceric acid having L-configuration. It is a glyceric acid and a (2S)-2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It is an enantiomer of a D-glyceric acid. (2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropanoic acid has been reported in Lotus burttii, Lotus tenuis, and other organisms with data available. |
Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: 250 mg/mL (2356.71 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (19.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (19.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (19.61 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 20.8 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.) |
