Porphyra 334
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Porphyra 334 is a carnosine-like amino acid and a natural photoprotective agent and antioxidant. Porphyra-334 exerts its photoprotective effects by scavenging ROS, inhibiting the expression and activity of MMP-1/8, and promoting the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Porphyra 334 effectively inhibits linoleic acid oxidation induced by alkyl radicals (AAPH) and singlet oxygen. Porphyra 334 has anti-obesity potential by inhibiting the expression of PPARγ2 and C/EBPα. Porphyra 334 protects cells against UV-induced DNA damage and apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3.

Porphyra-334 (6.25-200 μM; 24 h) shows no cytotoxicity against 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at the highest concentration of 200 μM[1].
Porphyra-334 (0.1-1.0 μM) inhibits lipid droplet accumulation in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Porphyra-334 (0.1-1.0 μM; 5 days) dose-dependently and significantly reduces the mRNA expression levels of PPARγ2, C/EBPα, adiponectin, and leptin in 3T3-L1 cells[1].
Porphyra-334 (0.1 mg/mL; 24-96 h) restores cell proliferation to approximately 88% of that in the unirradiated control group by reducing caspase-3 activation, DNA fragmentation, and the number of apoptotic cells, thereby alleviating UV-induced apoptosis in HaCaT cells[2].
Porphyra 334 (10-40 μM; 24 h) protects human skin fibroblasts (CCD-986sk) exposed to long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation from photoaging by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibiting the expression of MMP-1/MMP-8 and elastase activity, and increasing the levels of procollagen, type I collagen and elastin[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.22 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 (7.22 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.
