Methoxyacetic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methoxyacetic acid is a metabolite of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. When the concentration of methoxyacetic acid reaches a certain level, it can inhibit the respiratory function of hepatic mitochondria and testicular mitochondria. Methoxyacetic acid is somewhat toxic.

Biological Activity
Methoxyacetic acid (>5 mM) inhibits the state 3 succinate oxidation rate and the respiratory control ratio in hepatic mitochondria[1].
Methoxyacetic acid (>3 mM) inhibits the ascorbate/TMPD oxidation rate in testicular mitochondria[1].

Animal Model:Male Fischer 344 rats (6-8 weeks of age)[2]
-
Dosage:30, 100 and 300 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage (i.g.); 5 consecutive days of the first week followed by 3 more consecutive daily doses after a weekend interruption.
-
Result:Led to a significant decrease in body weight compared to the control group. It also caused severe degeneration of testicular germinal epithelium, a marked reduction in the size of the thymus with depletion of thymic cortical lymphoid elements, and a reduction in bone marrow cellularity, resulting in lower red blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, and white blood cell counts at dose of 300 mg/kg.
Had some similar but less pronounced effects, such as a significant decrease in the relative thymus weight and slight degenerative changes in testicular germinal epithelium in some rats at dose of 100 mg/kg.
Produced no apparent effects during the course of the study at dose of 30 mg/kg.

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 (27.75 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 (27.75 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.
