Biological Activity

Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate is a synthetic plant growth factor and synthetic auxin analog. It modulates auxin-mediated signaling pathways to regulate cell division, tissue differentiation, and overall growth responses. In fungal plant pathogens, this compound impacts conidial germination, sporulation, mycelial growth, and cell surface morphology, downstream affecting fungal pathogen viability and morphological development.

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 44 mg/mL (196.16 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).
