Biological Activity
Phenethyl acetate is non-mutagenic in the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, with and without metabolic activation[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Phenethyl acetate (6.5-15 g/kg; topical; single dose) exhibits acute dermal toxicity in albino rabbits with an LD50 of 6.21 g/kg and causes transient mild skin irritation[1].
Phenethyl acetate (topical; single dose) causes transient slight dermal irritation in albino rabbits that resolves within 72 hours[1].
Phenethyl acetate (ocular; single dose) causes mild to moderate ocular irritation in albino rabbits, including corneal opacity, iris irritation, and conjunctivitis[1].
Phenethyl acetate (20-50 mg; inhalation; single 60-minute exposure) reduces mouse motility by 45.04% and results in a blood concentration of 5.35 ng/mL post-exposure[1].
Phenethyl acetate (1200-6000 mg/kg; i.p.; 24 doses over 20 weeks) administered intraperitoneally 24 times over 20 weeks has a no observed adverse effect level of 1200 mg/kg in female A/He mice and is not associated with increased lung tumor incidence at doses up to 6000 mg/kg[1].
Phenethyl acetate (73.8 mg/kg/day; p.o.; daily for 4 months) increases plasma cholinesterase activity in male rats with no observed changes in serum chemistry[1].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (609.01 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, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (15.23 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (15.23 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
