Biological Activity
IMCTA-C14, a detergent and derivative of the microbial metabolite 4-trehalosamine, exhibits a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.11 mM and a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 9.72. It effectively extracts proteins, including membrane proteins, from OVK18 ovarian cancer cells at concentrations of 0.05 and 0.5%. Furthermore, IMCTA-C14 demonstrates antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains (MICs = 8-128 ug/ml) and shows cytotoxicity against a spectrum of 52 cancer cell lines (IC50s = 2.9-29.2 ug/ml). At a concentration of 50 uM, it induces autophagy in OVK18 cells.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Centrifuge the closed vial at 3000 rpm for 1–2 minutes to consolidate the powder at the bottom. For electrostatically charged powders, briefly warm the vial to room temperature and allow it to equilibrate before opening. Then add the appropriate solvent directly onto the powder and vortex before sonicating. Avoid tapping the vial vigorously, as this can generate fine powder aerosol.
Stock concentration (mM) = [mass (mg) × 1000] / [MW (g/mol) × volume (mL)]. Example: to prepare 10 mM stock from 5 mg of a 500 g/mol compound: volume = (5 × 1000) / (500 × 10) = 1 mL DMSO. For working solutions, dilute the DMSO stock into assay buffer: C₁V₁ = C₂V₂. For a 1 µM working solution from a 10 mM stock in a 1 mL assay volume, add 0.1 µL of stock (or pre-dilute to an intermediate concentration first).
