Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Usage:
First dilute 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to 500 μg/mL, mix with the dye, the volume ratio of 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to the dye is 1:1, incubate at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then add them to the sample solution and incubate at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl) is a very useful agent to form amide bonds (peptide bonds) in an aqueous medium[1].
1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl), is widely used for polyaniline-carbon nanotube preparation for a cholesterol biosensor, precolumn derivatization of aliphatic amines for HPLC, molecular beacons formation for DNA reseach, sensor preparation for calcium detection, the fluorescent determination of carboxylic acids, and solidphase microsequencing of peptides[2].
1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl) is an aminoaldehyde dehydrogenase (AMADH) inhibitor, while its inhibition on glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is insignificant[3].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
H2O : ≥ 100 mg/mL (521.65 mM)
DMSO : 62.5 mg/mL (326.03 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.85 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.85 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
