Perfluoroenanthic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Perfluoroenanthic acid (Perfluoroheptanoic acid) is a kind of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid organic pollutant. Perfluoroenanthic acid has environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, and exposure can occur via oral, dermal and other routes. Perfluoroenanthic acid exhibits reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity and endocrine-disrupting effects. Perfluoroenanthic acid exerts definite adverse effects on development, spermatogenesis, neuronal activity and liver tissue.

Biological Activity
Perfluoroenanthic acid (1.25-5% (v/v); percutaneous administration; once daily; for 28 consecutive days) induces systemic toxicity in female B6C3F1 mice in a subchronic 28-day skin exposure model, including increased liver weight, altered immune cell phenotypes, hepatocyte hypertrophy, and dysregulated gene expression associated with the PPAR pathway[3].

Caused disordered seminiferous epithelium arrangement, reduced spermatogenic cell numbers, and enlarged tubule lumens in the 0.015 mg/kg bw/d group.
Caused severely disordered seminiferous epithelium, reduced spermatogenic cell layers, and shrunken seminiferous tubules in the 0.15 mg/kg bw/d group.
Decreased absolute m6A levels in testicular tissue.
Decreased Mettl3 and Mettl5 expression, and increased Mettl14 expression.
Decreased Pcif1 and Wtap expression, and increased Hnrnpa2b1 expression.

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 (13.73 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 (13.73 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.
