Homosalate is an organic ultraviolet filter widely used in sunscreen formulations that exhibits biological toxicity in marine organisms and human cell models. In human trophoblast cells, homosalate promotes cell invasion and regulates intracellular signal transduction by modulating the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways. These molecular alterations impact downstream cell motility and invasion phenotypes associated with placental development.

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).
