(+)-Totarol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
(+)-Totarol is a diterpenoid membrane-disrupting agent and membrane structure regulator found in plants of the genus Podocarpus spp. (+)-Totarol inserts into phospholipid model membranes, disrupts phospholipid packing, and impairs the functional integrity of membranes. (+)-Totarol exhibits antibacterial activity against a variety of bacterial species and β-lactam-resistant strains, and its action is associated with changes in membrane physical properties. (+)-Totarol can be used in studies related to bacterial infections.

(+)-Totarol (0.5-35 mol%) dose-dependently modulates the phase transitions of DEPE vesicles, eliminating the Lα→HII transition at concentrations above 2 mol% and inducing complex low-temperature phase behavior between 5-35 mol%[2].
(+)-Totarol (5-30 mol%) decreases DMPC bilayer structural order below the main phase transition temperature and increases order above the transition temperature, completely abolishing the transition-associated anisotropy change at 30 mol%[2].

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.
