Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Fibroblast cell count is dramatically increased by wound acid (0.1, 1 µM; 5 days) [1]. In fibroblasts, traumatic acid (0.1, 1 µM; 5 days) decreases glutathione level, increases GPX activity, and lessens membrane phospholipid peroxidation [1]. In fibroblast culture media, traumatizing acid (0.1, 1 µM; 5 days) increases collagen secretion and synthesis [1]. The number of viable cells was dramatically decreased by wound acid (100, 200, 400, and 600 µM; 48 hours), particularly following treatment at 100 µM and 200 µM for 48 hours in MCF-7 cells [2]. In MCF-7 cells, traumatic acid (50–600 µM; 24–48 hours) promotes apoptosis and reduces cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner [2]. In MCF-7 cells, traumatic acid (50–200 µM; 24–48 hours) oxidatively damages proteins [2]. The oxidative stress level of MCF-7 cells can be efficiently increased by traumatic acid (100, 200 µM; 24, 48 hours) [2]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Types: Fibroblasts Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1 µM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: Caused a significant increase in cell number, especially on day 1 at a concentration of 1 µM. Compared to untreated control cells, cell numbers increased by 133% and 118% at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 µM, respectively. Cell viability assay[1] Cell Types: Fibroblasts Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1 µM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: Total protein content increased by 183% and 90% on day 1 compared to controls at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 µM, respectively . Collagen increased compared to control by 72% at 0.1 µM (day 3) and 51% at 1 µM (day 1). Compared to the control, GPX activity increased by 111% and 97% at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 µM, respectively. The diminished glutathione content increased by 86% and 80% at 0.1 µM and 1 µM, respectively. Reduce membrane phospholipid peroxidation. Cell viability assay [2] Cell Types: MCF-7 Cell Tested Concentrations: 100, 200, 400, 600 µM Incubation Duration: 4 |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~250 mg/mL (~1095.15 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.11 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 (9.11 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 (9.11 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.) |
