Description of LiCl

IC50: N/A

LiCl is a typical ionic compound, though the small size of the Li+ ion makes its properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as the extraordinary solubility in polar solvents and hygroscopic properties.

In vitro: Though precipitation with a monovalent cation or alcohol is much more widely used, LiCl has been frequently used to precipitate RNA. LiCl precipitation gives various advantages over other methods: LiCl does not precipitate DNA, protein and carbohydrate efficiently. LiCl can be also used for removing translation inhibitors or cDNA synthesis from RNA preparations. LiCl can be also used as a simple rapid method for recovering RNA from in-vitro transcription reactions [1]. In addition, a method for isolation of large, translationally active RNA samples has been presented. In this study, the procedure included homogenization of samples in 5 m guanidine monothiocyanate followed by direct precipitation of RNA from the guanidinium by 4 m LiCl. The advantages of this method include simplicity, speed, avoidance of ultracentrifugation, and its applicability to large numbers of samples. The method yielded large mRNA precursors up to 10 kb [2].

In vivo: Currently, there is no animal data reported.

Clinical trial: Up to now, LiCl has not been used clinically.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
