Biological Activity

Targets	Human Endogenous Metabolite
ln Vitro	In MCF-7 cells, malonyl-CoA (20 μM, 6 min) inhibits CPT1 activity (reduces by 75%)[2]. In female rat liver mitochondria, CPT1 activity is inhibited by malonyl-CoA (0-3 μM)[3].

Additional Infomation	Malonyl-CoA is the S-malonyl derivative of coenzyme A. It has a role as an EC 2.3.1.21 (carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase) inhibitor, a metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a coenzyme A. It is a conjugate acid of a malonyl-CoA(5-). A coenzyme A derivative which plays a key role in the fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplasmic and microsomal systems. Malonyl-CoA is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). malonyl-CoA has been reported in Homo sapiens, Bos taurus, and other organisms with data available. malonyl-CoA is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A coenzyme A derivative which plays a key role in the fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplasmic and microsomal systems.

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)

May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples

Solubility (In Vivo)

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *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.

Oral Formulation 3: Dissolved in PEG400 Oral Formulation 4: Suspend in 0.2% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 5: Dissolve in 0.25% Tween 80 and 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 6: Mixing with food powders Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

Preparing Stock Solutions		1 mg	5 mg	10 mg

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
