Biological Activity
|
Human Endogenous Metabolite |
N-acetyl-L-aspartate (100-500 mg/kg bw/day; p.o.; dietary; two generations) does not cause adverse reproductive, neurobehavioral, developmental, or ophthalmological effects in parental Sprague-Dawley rats or their offspring[4].
N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid (2000 mg/kg; p.o.; once) is not acutely toxic in Sprague-Dawley rats[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats (male and female, at least 35 days old at receipt)[3]
-
Dosage:100, 250, 500 mg/kg of body weight/day

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 62.5 mg/mL (356.86 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 5 mg/mL (28.55 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 80°C; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* 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.
