Biological Activity
MCU-i4 modulates mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake to 1 min of incubation, i.e., exerting a negative modulation, indicating that the primary effect of these compounds is a sudden and direct modulation of MCU complex activity[1].
MCU-i4 exerted a negative effect on Δψ. MCU-i4 has no effect on cell viability[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

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: 1.25 mg/mL (3.31 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
