Benzarone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzarone is an oral inhibitor of human urate transporter 1 (hURAT1) with an IC50 value of 2.8 μM, and it also acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Benzarone can cause liver damage and promote cell apoptosis and necrosis. Benzarone can be used to lower serum uric acid levels and for research in vascular diseases.

Biological Activity
IC50: 2.8 μM (hURAT1 in oocyte)[1]
Benzarone (10-100 μM, 1 h) causes a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential in isolated rat liver cells, decreases the oxidative status of L-glutamate and the respiration control ratio in rat liver mitochondria, and also leads to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and a reduction in β-oxidation[2].
Benzarone (1 nM-100 μM, 1 h) increases the production of reactive oxygen species, causes leakage of cytochrome C from HepG2 cell mitochondria, and induces permeability transition in rat liver mitochondria along with apoptosis and necrosis in rat liver cells[2].

Cell Line:HepG2
-
Concentration:100 μM

Incubation Time:8 h
-
Result:Caused fragmentation and condensation of chromatin, showing that 13% of the cells underwent apoptosis, along with cell death, and a decrease in ATP content.
Benzarone (2 mg/kg, given by gavage, single dose) is excreted in bile in rats, undergoes metabolism through direct conjugation, and exhibits enterohepatic recirculation[3].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (375.53 mM; 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. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.39 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Please enter the basic information of animal experiments:

The co-solvents required include: DMSO, . All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE). , Tween 80. All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE).
Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
