Octocrylene
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Octocrylene is an organic ultraviolet (UV) filter that absorbs mainly UVB radiation and shorter UVA wavelengths. Octocrylene acts as a partial agonist of PPARγ, which alters the gene transcription profile of lipid metabolism enzymes. In addition, Octocrylene is cytotoxic and genotoxic to human skin fibroblasts and mediates the biosynthesis of estrogens such as estriol in zebrafish larvae, while affecting antioxidant pathways including glutathione transferase and peroxisomes.

Biological Activity
Octocrylene (260-6500 μM; 24 h) concentration-dependently reduces human skin fibroblast survival (IC50=1390.95 μM) and increases DNA damage and intracellular oxidative stress levels[1]. Octocrylene (25.8 μM, 24 h; 5.5 μM, 96 h) is an activator of the ER pathway in zebrafish liver cell line[3]. Octocrylene (30 μM) promotes adiponectin production during adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs (EC50=29.6 μM) and directly bonds to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPARγ (Ki=37.8 μM)[4].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (276.64 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Ethanol : 50 mg/mL (138.32 mM; Need ultrasonic)
* "≥" 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 (6.92 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
