Oxiran-2-ylmethanol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Oxiran-2-ylmethanol (Glycidol) is an ester product. Oxiran-2-ylmethanol induces base pair point mutations in bacterial strains and structural chromosome aberrations in cultured cells. Oxiran-2-ylmethanol forms N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)valine hemoglobin adducts. Oxiran-2-ylmethanol acts as an animal carcinogen but does not significantly induce micronucleated immature erythrocytes in animal bone marrow. Oxiran-2-ylmethanol enables anionic polymerization to produce linear poly(glycidol). Oxiran-2-ylmethanol can be used for cancer-related research.

Biological Activity
Oxiran-2-ylmethanol (G) (0.31-5000 μg/plate; 48 h) induces dose-dependent reverse mutations in Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537) and Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA) strains, with particularly strong activity in point mutation-detecting strains, in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation[1].
Oxiran-2-ylmethanol induces structural chromosomal aberrations in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL/IU) cells under short-term (with and without metabolic activation) and continuous (24 h and 48 h) treatment conditions, with the highest aberration frequency reaching 93.5% at 300 μg/mL in 6 h treatment without metabolic activation[1].
Oxiran-2-ylmethanol (125-250 μM; 1 h at 37 °C) forms N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)valine adducts with hemoglobin in fresh human whole blood with a second-order reaction rate constant of 19.2 pmol/g Hb per µMh[3].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (67.49 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (67.49 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
