Tricosanoic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tricosanoic acid is an endogenous agonist of long-chain saturated fatty acids and free fatty acid receptor FFAR1, which can activate hair growth. Tricosanoic acid (C23:0) has the activity of improving cognitive function by regulating neuronal membrane fluidity, inhibiting neuroinflammatory response, participating in myelination and neuronal energy metabolism. Tricosanoic acid expression levels are low in the prefrontal cortex of Alzheimer's disease (AD) models; while better cognitive performance corresponds to higher serum concentration levels. Tricosanoic acid can be used as a biomarker for diseases related to cognitive decline.

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% EtOH 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 0.5 mg/mL (1.41 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (5.0 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% EtOH 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.41 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Protocol for Water Maze
The Morris Water Maze is a rodent spatial learning and memory assay in which a mouse or rat swims in opaque water to find an escape platform; in the hidden-platform version, the animal cannot see the platform and must use distal extra-maze cues to learn its fixed spatial location. The assay primarily measures hippocampus-dependent spatial learning during acquisition trials and spatial reference memory during probe trials after platform removal; readouts include escape latency, swim path length, swim speed, quadrant occupancy, platform-site crossings, and proximity to the former platform location.

Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and loss of specific types of neurons and synapses. Alzheimer's symptoms can be simulated in mice by injecting drugs (such as Aβ) or genetically modified.
