Description of Vitamin B12 (hydrate)

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin with roles in brain and nervous system functioning and blood formation through regulation of DNA synthesis, cellular metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism.1 It belongs to the corrinoid group of compounds, which contain a corrin macrocycle, and is produced only by certain bacteria and archaea.2 Reference to vitamin B12 usually encompasses a group of cobalt-containing compounds (or cobalamins), which include cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoB12), and methylcobalamin (MeB12). These forms serve as cofactors in isomerase-, methyltransferase-, and dehalogenase-catalyzed reactions.3 For example, methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase acts on AdoB12 to convert methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, an important step before entry into the Kreb's cycle. Additionally, methionine synthase uses MeB12 to transfer a methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to generate tetrahydrofolate and methionine, which is important for DNA synthesis.4

%DMSO %

Calculation results:

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.
