Product Description
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining normal brain and nervous system function and blood flow formation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Out of all the B vitamins, vitamin B12 is one. In most cases, it affects DNA synthesis and regulation, but it also plays a role in energy production, fatty acid synthesis (particularly odd chain fatty acid synthesis), and the metabolism of every cell in the human body. Yet, since vitamin B12 is required for the body to produce folate again, folic acid (vitamin B9) in enough amounts can substitute for many, if not all, of the effects of vitamin B12. When the body lacks sufficient folic acid to produce thymine due to methyl trapping, poor synthesis of DNA occurs. Therefore, the majority of symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency are actually symptoms of folate deficiency. This includes all the effects of megaloblastosis and pernicious anemia. All known B12-related deficiency syndromes return to normal when adequate folic acid is available, with the exception of those that are specifically linked to the growth of their respective substrates, homocysteine and methylmalonic acid, and the vitamin B12-dependent enzymes methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), also called methionine synthase. The reactive C-Co bond in Coenzyme B12 contributes to three main categories of enzyme-catalyzed reactions[1][2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~20.83 mg/mL (~14.14 mM)
H2O : ~6.25 mg/mL (~4.24 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.70 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.70 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: 50 mg/mL (33.94 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.

Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.7356 mL 3.6781 mL 7.3561 mL
5 mM 0.1471 mL 0.7356 mL 1.4712 mL
10 mM 0.0736 mL 0.3678 mL 0.7356 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
