Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (Trimesic acid) is a rigid planar small-molecule scaffold and crosslinker. Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid induces bicyclic peptides to adopt a planar conformation, so as to maximize surface area and bind to the flat protein surfaces involved in protein-protein interactions. Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid forms ionic crosslinks, hydrogen bonds and π-π bonds with chitosan, thereby constructing a hydrogel network. Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid endows chitosan hydrogel systems with specific mechanical properties, enabling sustained release of cancer therapeutic drugs including 5-Fluorouracil (HY-90006).

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid forms hydrogen-bonding interactions with chitosan[2].
Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (10-50 mM) can crosslink chitosan to form stable shear-thinning hydrogels[2].
Chitosan hydrogels cross-linked with Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (10-50 mM) enable sustained release of 5-Fluorouracil (HY-90006), and their release profiles depend on the concentrations of trimesic acid and chitosan as well as pH value[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.90 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.90 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
