Biological Activity

Agarotetrol is a naturally occurring 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone derivative isolated from agarwood that exhibits central nervous system depressant activity. Treatment with agarotetrol modulates neurobehavioral responses, resulting in reduced spontaneous motility, hypothermia, and prolonged hexobarbital-induced sleep in animal models. These central depressant actions indicate its potential role in mediating the sedative properties associated with agarwood extracts. [1]

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 64 mg/mL (201.05 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).
