Geranic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Geranic acid (Geranate) acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor and antifungal agent, with an IC50 value of 0.14-2.3 mM against mushroom tyrosinase. Geranic acid reduces the viability of human pancreatic cancer cells and B-lymphoma cells. Geranic acid inhibits mycelial growth of the maize pathogens Colletotrichum graminicola and Fusarium graminearum. Geranic acid is applicable to research related to fungal infections, pancreatic cancer and B-lymphoma.

Biological Activity
Geranic acid potently inhibits mushroom tyrosinase (trans isomer, IC50 = 0.14 mM), but exerts weak inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase (cis isomer, IC50 = 2.3 mM)[1].
Geranic acid (12.5-400 μM; 72 h) inhibits the viability of human pancreatic cancer cell line MIA PaCa-2, with an IC50 of 263 μM[2].
Geranic acid (12.5-400 μM; 72 h) inhibits the viability of human B lymphoma DeFew cells, with an IC50 of 580 μM[2].
Geranic acid (48 h) inhibits mycelial growth and spore germination of Colletotrichum graminicola (MIC < 7.8 μg/mL, MCIC: 7.8 μg/mL) and Fusarium graminearum (MIC < 7.8 μg/mL, MCIC 31.3 μg/mL)[3].

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 (14.86 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 (14.86 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.
