N-Hydroxypipecolic acid
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
N-Hydroxypipecolic acid (1-Hydroxy-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid), a plant metabolite and a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) regulator, orchestrates SAR establishment in concert with the immune signal salicylic acid. N-Hydroxypipecolic acid accumulates systemically in the plant foliage in response to pathogen attack. N-Hydroxypipecolic acid induces SAR to bacterial and oomycete infection.

Biological Activity
The mode of action of N-Hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) in SAR involves direct induction of SAR gene expression, signal amplification, priming for enhanced defense activation and positive interplay with salicylic acid signaling to ensure elevated plant immunity. Flavin-dependent-monooxygenase1 (FMO1) functions downstream of Pip by hydroxylating Pip to generate NHP[1][3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 50 mg/mL (344.45 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 25 mg/mL (172.22 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 80°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 (sealed storage, away from moisture). 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% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (14.33 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
