Polyvinyl alcohol (Mw 31000-50000, 98-99% hydrolyzed)
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Polyvinyl alcohol (Mw 31000-50000, 98-99% hydrolyzed), also known as PVA, is a vinyl water-soluble polymer that can be used as a non-ionic surfactant. It can also be used as a biodegradable polymer and can be used in adhesives, coatings, textiles, ceramics and cosmetics. Polyvinyl alcohol can be used in tissue engineering by electrospinning. Polyvinyl alcohol can achieve high cellular density, infiltration, and uniform distribution, facilitating functional connections between cells. Polyvinyl alcohol can improve cell vitality through in vitro cultivation. Polyvinyl alcohol demonstrates promising inhibition of ostersarcoma cancer cells with Doxorubicin (HY-15142A).

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
H2O : 4 mg/mL (ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C)
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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL; Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
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; 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.
