Description

Piperitone is as a powerful repellent and antiappetent agent. Piperitone is very toxic to Cymbopogon schoenanthus (C. schoenanthus) adults, newly laid eggs and to neonate larvae. Insecticidal activity[1].

In Vitro

Piperitone isolated from Cymbopogon schoenanthus (C. schoenanthus)[1].

In Vivo

The insecticidal activity of crude essential oil extracted from Cymbopogon schoenanthus and of its main constituent, Piperitone, is assessed on different developmental stages of Callosobruchus maculatus (C. maculatus). Piperitone is toxic to C. maculatus adults with a LC50 value of 1.6 μL/L. Piperitone inhibits the development of newly laid eggs and of neonate larvae, but is less toxic than the crude extract to individuals developing inside the seeds. Piperitone shows the strongest ovicidal activity. All the eggs were aborted at 6.7 μL/L. Piperitone (10 μM) kills all the neonate larvae[1].

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

Animal Model: Fifty pairs of C. maculatus adults[1]
Dosage: 6.7, 10, 16.7 or 33.3 μL/L
Administration: 24 hours
Result: Piperiton was more toxic than crude oil because the LC50 recorded was 1.6 μL/L for Piperitone vs. 2.7 μL/L for the crude oil.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
