Agaric acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Agaric acid (Agaricinic Acid) is an orally active inhibitor of adenine nucleotide translocase found in specific fungi. Agaric acid can inhibit the biofilm formation of various bacteria such as Salmonella. Agaric acid can also induce mitochondrial permeability transition, prompting mitochondria to release Ca2+, disrupting the transmembrane potential, and causing mitochondrial swelling. In addition, Agaric acid can also inhibit citrate transport in liver mitochondria and participate in the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis, affecting multiple metabolic processes.

Biological Activity
Agaric acid (2.5-20 μM; at 25°C) can accelerate the release rate of Ca2+, disrupt the transmembrane potential, and cause mitochondrial swelling in rat renal cortical mitochondria[1].
Agaric acid (100 μM; 24-48 h) can inhibit the biofilm formation of Salmonella typhimurium, suppress the transcription of flagellum-related genes, and inhibit the motility of bacteria[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 125 mg/mL (300.08 mM; Need ultrasonic; 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, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). 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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
