Biological Activity

2-Benzoxazolinone (BOA) is a naturally occurring allelochemical and herbicidal candidate that exhibits strong phytotoxicity against a wide range of plant species. BOA functions primarily by disrupting plasma membrane integrity and interfering with auxin-mediated signaling pathways. Consequently, this multi-target action impairs vital cellular processes, leading to the inhibition of seed germination, restricted root elongation, and suppressed overall plant growth. [1]

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 27 mg/mL (199.82 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
