Biological Activity
3-Formylsalicylic acid acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of estrone sulfatase, with IC50 and Ki values of 150 nM and 120 nM, respectively, inhibiting the enzyme responsible for converting estrone sulfate into estrone. Additionally, this compound is utilized in the synthesis of Schiff bases.
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.
When solubility is listed as < 1 mg/mL, the compound dissolves to less than 1 mg per milliliter in water at 25 °C, pH 7.4. Such compounds require an organic co-solvent such as DMSO to prepare a concentrated stock, which is then diluted into aqueous assay buffer. For cell-based assays, keep the final DMSO concentration below 0.1% (v/v) to avoid solvent-induced cytotoxicity.
Try the following steps: (1) warm the DMSO solvent to 37–50 °C before adding the compound; (2) vortex vigorously for 30 seconds then bath-sonicate for 1–2 minutes; (3) if still undissolved, prepare a more dilute stock. Note that maximum solubility values are reference conditions — actual solubility can vary with temperature, solvent lot, and compound batch. Contact BioHippo support if dissolution problems persist.
