Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Phenethyl alcohol has been shown to interact with the cytoplasmic membrane of other microorganisms in various ways. Escherichia coli phenethyl alcohol, at a concentration higher than that used to induce myxospore formation, inhibits growth by causing a breakdown in the cellular permeabihty barrier. At lower concentrations, phospholipid synthesis, uptake of gentian violet in E. coli and the uptake of several amino acids by Neurospora crassa were all inhibited by phenethyl alcohol.
