Heneicosanoic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Heneicosanoic acid is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid widely present in human milk, fish, seeds, and cerebrosides in the cell membranes of the nervous system. Heneicosanoic acid can form Langmuir monolayers and is often used as a model to study lipid self-assembly and disassembly processes in biological membranes and drug delivery systems. In the low-temperature L'2 and CS crystalline phases, Heneicosanoic acid undergoes local oscillations, which in turn drive the spontaneous formation and expulsion of micelles and vesicles.

Biological Activity
Heneicosanoic acid (2 h; 5.4 °C) forms micelles and small unilamellar vesicles (average size 9.16 nm) at 5.4 °C, with a height difference of 13 to 15 Å between the L′2 and CS crystalline phases[2].
Heneicosanoic acid (5.4-6.4 °C; 12.5-22 mN/m) forms micelles (5.38 to 5.46 nm), unilamellar vesicles (10.76 to 16.13 nm), oligolamellar vesicles (16.13 to 16.37 nm), and multilamellar vesicles (>21.51 nm) at 5.4 to 6.4 °C and 12.5 to 22 mN/m[2].

Solvent & Solubility
Ethanol : 14.29 mg/mL (43.76 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 3.33 mg/mL (10.20 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C; 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. 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% EtOH 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (4.38 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (14.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.
Please enter the basic information of animal experiments:
