Ophthalmic acid TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Ophthalmic acid TFA is a ubiquitous metabolite and glutathione modulator, with a Ki of 0.95 mM for glyoxalase I. Ophthalmic acid TFA competitively inhibits glyoxalase I, glutathione S-transferase, glutaredoxin, glutamate-cysteine ligase, protein disulfide reductase (glutathione), as well as non-selective cation channels. Ophthalmic acid TFA is applicable in diabetes-related research.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Ophthalmic acid (5 μM-millimolar concentrations) TFA exerts pleiotropic effects on GSH utilizing enzymes: it induces glutathione reductases, inhibits glutaredoxins (60% reduction at 5 μM) and millimolar-concentration exposed glutathione S-transferases, and does not affect glutathione peroxidases[1].
Ophthalmic acid TFA competitively inhibits the glyoxalase I reaction[1].
Ophthalmic acid TFA inhibits the activation of non-selective cation channels by intracellular NAD+ via mimicry of GSH's tripeptide structure[1].
Ophthalmic acid TFA competitively inhibits GSH uptake in yeast[1].
Ophthalmic acid TFA competitively inhibits purified glyoxalase I enzyme activity with an inhibitor equilibrium constant (Ki) of 0.95 mM[2].

In Vivo
Ophthalmic acid TFA elevates liver Ophthalmic acid TFA levels 20-fold while depleting hepatic glutathione in Cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice with genetic homocystinuria[1].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (247.95 mM; Need ultrasonic; 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.

In Vivo:
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.
