Biological Activity
Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) is utilized to esterify starch, producing octenyl succinylated starch (OS-starch), a hydrocolloid with amphiphilic properties. This modification by OSA influences the interaction between molecules on the outer surface of starch granules through alterations in molecular structures.
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.
mg/mL (milligrams per milliliter) and mM (millimolar = millimoles per liter) are two concentration units for the same solution. To convert: mM = (mg/mL × 1000) / MW (g/mol). For example, for a compound with MW = 350 g/mol: 1 mg/mL = 1000/350 = 2.86 mM. Use the molar concentration calculator on the TargetMol website for quick conversions.
Yes, our inhibitors can be used for animal/in vivo experiments. However, some compounds may not have literature supporting their use in animal experiments. In such cases, we cannot guarantee efficacy.
