Dietary polyphenols are multi-target compounds that have been considered promising candidates in strategies for the mitigation of neurological diseases, acting particularly through reduction of microglia-driven neuroinflammation. In this study, an anthocyanin-rich extract obtained from Portuguese blueberries was subjected to a

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. What is the preparation method for B8631 and its solubility?

    1 answer
    1. The product B8631 should be considered a crude extract. In terms of solubility, quality control testing indicates that this product is tested for solubility in 80% ethanol at a concentration of 10 mg/mL, resulting in a slightly hazy to very hazy, very dark yellow solution. The color of the solution is within the acceptable range specified in the current Specification Sheet.

  2. I would like to know if this product contains taurocholic acid and sodium taurodeoxycholate and how much of each. Thank you

    1 answer
    1. Taurocholic acid and sodium taurodeoxycholate are not tested on a lot to lot basis for this product. However, historical data reveals that typically this material contains approximately 4-7% taurodeoxycholic acid and 30-40% taurocholic acid.

  3. What are the best solvents that can be used to solubilize this product?

    1 answer
    1. This product is soluble in 80% ethanol at 10mg/mL which yields a slightly hazy to very hazy solution. This material may also be dissolved in water at 50mg/mL. However, this will yield a turbid solution.

  4. What is the content of cholesterol (it should mostly be free cholesterol) in B8381 and B8631?

    1 answer
    1. Neither B8381 nor B8631 have been evaluated for cholesterol content. The approximate amount of known components of both are listed below:
      8.0 - 9.5 % cholic acid
      0.9 - 1.1 % deoxycholic acid
      32 - 36 % conjugated cholic acid
      11 - 13 % conjugated deoxycholic acid
