Product Description
Lithium citrate (Litarex) tetrahydrate is the main active ingredient in Garcinia Cambogia. Lithium citrate tetrahydrate can competitively inhibit citrate lyase (ATP citrate lyase) and has a weight loss effect. Lithium citrate tetrahydrate effectively inhibits stone formation and inhibits HIF, and has antioxidant, anti~inflammatory and anti-tumor effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
When compared to the control group, lithium citrate tetrahydrate exhibited HIF inhibitory effects in ARPE19 and 661W cells. In ARPE19 cells and 661W cells, lithium citrate tetrahydrate can down-regulate Hif1a and its downstream genes. The treatment of CoCl2 to ARPE19 and 661W cells can lead to enhanced HIF-1α protein expression, which can be inhibited by lithium citrate tetrahydrate [2]. Lithium citrate tetrahydrate decreases lipid droplet accumulation and speeds up energy metabolism in chicken hepatocytes. Lithium citrate tetrahydrate boosts mitochondrial activity and antioxidant status to shield cells against endoplasmic reticulum stress [2].
ln Vivo
Treatment with 100–200 mg/kg of lithium citrate tetrahydrate lowers serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, two indicators of renal damage. When lithium citrate tetrahydrate was administered to male C57BL/6J mice, the amount of calcium oxalate crystal formation was considerably decreased. The oxidative stress brought on by calcium oxalate crystals is lessened by lithium citrate tetrahydrate. MCP-1, IL-1β, and IL-6 are examples of inflammatory cytokines that are stimulated by calcium oxalate and are inhibited by lithium citrate tetrahydrate. Furthermore, calcium oxalate crystal-induced renal tubular damage and apoptosis can be lessened by lithium citrate tetrahydrate [1]. Giving animals lithium citrate tetrahydrate can prevent them from gaining weight or accumulating fat [3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
H2O : ≥ 100 mg/mL (~354.64 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 50 mg/mL (177.32 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.5464 mL 17.7318 mL 35.4635 mL
5 mM 0.7093 mL 3.5464 mL 7.0927 mL
10 mM 0.3546 mL 1.7732 mL 3.5464 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
