Cactus Botanics Introduces Sesamin 90%
Cactus Botanics, a leading raw material supplier, announces the completion of development and introduction to the market of Sesamin 90% HPLC, currently the only Chinese supply of this level.
New York, NY, November 07, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Sesamin, one of the lignans presents most abundantly in sesame, is scientifically proven to protect and enhance liver functions, maintain healthy blood pressure, lower harmful blood cholesterol levels and serve as an antioxidant.
Sesamin is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the sesamin in an organic solvent purged with an inert gas. Sesamin is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide.The solubility of sesamin in these solvents is 0.5, 12, and 33 mg/ml, respectively. Sesamin will be stable for at least six months in these solvents if stored at -20°C.
Sesamin is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. Further dilutions of the stock solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline should be made prior to performing biological experiments. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, sesamin should first be dissolved in DMF and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Sesamin has a solubility of 50 µg/ml in a 1:10 solution of DMF:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. Store aqueous solutions of sesamin on ice and use within 12 hours of preparation. Although the aqueous solutions of sesamin may be stable for more than 12 hours, we strongly recommend using a fresh preparation each day.
Sesamin is a non-competitive inhibitor of ∆5-desaturase. It inhibits the conversion of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid to arachidonic acid with a Ki value of 155 µM in rat liver microsomes.1
