Biological Activity

Metadoxine is a 5-HT2B receptor antagonist and hepatoprotective agent used in the management of alcohol intoxication. It counteracts ethanol-induced cytotoxicity by suppressing oxidative stress and maintaining intracellular glutathione levels. Through these regulatory mechanisms, metadoxine preserves cellular metabolic homeostasis and protects hepatic cells from ethanol toxicity, offering potential utility in neuropharmacological and metabolic research.

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 59 mg/mL (197.79 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).
