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 (2.81 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 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.
Protocol
Rats, Dogs and Monkeys[1]
Pharmacokinetic studies are performed in male naı̈ve Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats, non-naive beagle dogs, and cynomolgus monkeys (three animals per dosing route). Intravenous (IV) administration is dosed via infusion over 30 min in a vehicle containing 5% ethanol, 20% PEG400, and 75% water (pH adjusted to 3.0 with HCl). Oral dosing is administered by gavage in a vehicle containing 5% ethanol, 45% PEG 400, and 50% of 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 3. Blood samples are collected over a 24 h period postdose into Vacutainer tubes containing EDTA-K2. Plasma was isolated, and the concentration of the test compound in plasma was determined with LC/MS/MS after protein precipitation with acetonitrile.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
