Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Salvianolic acid B is a bioactive polyphenolic antioxidant and free radical scavenging compound derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza. It protects cells against oxidative stress, attenuates neurotoxicity, and inhibits apoptosis by suppressing reactive oxygen species generation and regulating apoptotic signaling pathways. Additionally, it modulates key cell proliferation pathways, reducing cell migration and inflammatory signaling in vascular and tissue injury models.

All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 100 mg/mL (139.15 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
Water 100 mg/mL
Ethanol 100 mg/mL
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).
