Biological Activity
Triheptanoin can be used for the research of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T)[2].
Triheptanoin functions as an anaplerotic agent replenishing tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates by metabolism to heptanoate (C7) and subsequently acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA that feed into the TCA cycle to supply energy[2].
Triheptanoin mitigates brain ATP depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction, including respiration and redox balance in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, supporting the energy failure hypothesis for that disorder[2].
Triheptanoin (Mice were treated with Triheptanoin (35E%) for 10 days prior to pilocarpine injection to induce status epilepticus) preserved mitochondrial functions in the hippocampal formations of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) mice[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:7-8 week old male CD1 (35-40 g)[3]
-
Dosage:35E% oral Triheptanoin was mixed into mouse chow
-
Administration:Given 35E% Triheptanoin treatment 10 days prior to SE induction
-
Result:Preserved mitochondrial functions in SE mice.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (116.66 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, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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 (5.83 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 (5.83 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.
