Merepoxine

Merepoxine is a jacobin-like pyrrolizidine alkaloid and an epoxide. Merepoxine is formed by the transformation of melensine under alkaline conditions, involving an SN2 reaction accompanied by elimination of hydrogen chloride (i.e., a chlorohydrin-like reaction) to form this epoxide.

Biological Activity

Description

In Vitro

Merepoxine and Merepoxine N-oxide (HY-N21956) are senecionine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs)^[1].
Merepoxine (0.6 ng per leaf; allowed to stand for 2 h after spraying) can be efficiently removed from the leaf surface of Jacobaea vulgaris merely by soaking in aqueous solution or weakly acidic aqueous solution for 20 s, with a recovery rate of over 95% in the first extraction^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
