Description of Δ4-Dafachronic Acid

Δ4-Dafachronic acid is a DAF-12 activator.

Steroid hormone dafachronic acid (DA) has been identified to regulate dauer formation and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans via binding to the nuclear receptor DAF-12. DAF-12, an orphan nuclear hormone receptor, regulates dauer larva diapause, reproductive development, fat metabolism, as well as life cycle/longevity in C. elegans. In addition, DAF-12 is needed for entry into dauer by acting as a transcriptional repressor of target genes that favor reproductive development when it is not bound to ligand.

In vitro: Δ4-Dafachronic acid is a racemic version of a sterol-derived hormone acting as a ligand of DAF-12. In a previous study, it was found that there was no significant increase in the Δ4- and Δ4-dafachronic acid concentration in the long-lived glp-1 mutant, nor in the mutants defective in dauer formation [1]. Another previous study provided insights into the molecular interface between DA and IIS pathways and suggested that Δ4- and Δ7-dafachronic acid pathways had unique as well as overlapping biological functions in the control of development and lifespan [2].

In vivo: Up to now, there is no animal in vivo study reported for Δ4-Dafachronic acid.

Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.

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.
