Ketone monoester is an orally available ketone monoester that serves as a source of nutritional ketones. Ketone monoester increases plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, blood glucose, blood sodium, and blood creatinine levels in mouse models. Ketone monoester has the potential to improve athletic performance and endurance in animals. Ketone monoester partially prevents myasthenia in septic mice. Ketone monoester may also be used to study Parkinson's disease or diabetes.

Description

In Vivo

Ketone monoester increases specific muscle force, moderately raises blood glucose concentrations, lowers Aldh3b2 gene expression, increases blood Na⁺ levels and blood creatinine levels, and reduces plasma free fatty acid concentrations^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:	Septic mice^[1]
Dosage:	10, 20, 40 and 80 mmol/kg/day
Administration:	PO
Result:	Increased specific muscle force as compared with placebo to 93% of healthy control levels at 40 mmol/kg/day. Resulted in moderately higher blood glucose concentrations as compared with placebo at 40 mmol/kg/day. Lowered Aldh3b2 gene expression than with placebo at 40 mmol/kg/day. Evoked a moderate further increase in blood Na⁺ levels and increased blood creatinine levels at 20 mmol/kg/day. Reduced plasma free fatty acid concentrations by 10 or 20 mmol/kg/day. Hepatic gene expression levels of Aldh1a7 was also reduced by sepsis but increased by D-3HHB.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (31.21 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (55.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (31.21 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (55.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (31.21 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (55.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
