Product Description
Uric acid is an oxygen radical scavenger and a very important antioxidant that helps maintain blood pressure stability and resist oxidative stress. Uric acid can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), like singlet oxygen and peroxynitrite, and inhibit lipid peroxidation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Uric acid (400 μM; 48 hours) protects Caco-2 cells from indomethacin-induced lipid peroxidation [2]. Co-treatment of cells with indomethacin and uric acid (200 μM IND plus 400 μM UA; 24 hours) significantly lowered ROS levels compared to cells treated with indomethacin alone. Cell viability in Caco-2 cells treated with both indomethacin and uric acid (200 μM IND plus 400 μM UA; 24 h) was higher than that in cells treated with indomethacin alone. Uric acid has a protective effect against indomethacin-induced alterations in intestinal cells through its antioxidant activity [2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 8weeks old male C57BL/6J mice [2]
Doses: 250 mg/kg body weight
Route of Administration: Po
Experimental Results: When mice are given indomethacin at the same time, uric acid can be used for animal modeling to construct a hypertension model. . After oral administration of uric acid, the ulcer area was Dramatically diminished in a uric acid dose-dependent manner.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
1M NaOH : 8.33 mg/mL (~49.55 mM)
H2O : ~6.25 mg/mL (~37.18 mM)
DMSO :< 1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 10 mg/mL (59.48 mM) in 0.5% CMC-Na/saline water (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 5.9485 mL 29.7424 mL 59.4849 mL
5 mM 1.1897 mL 5.9485 mL 11.8970 mL
10 mM 0.5948 mL 2.9742 mL 5.9485 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.
