KY Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thymoquinone is not soluble in water. What solvent can be used to make a concentrated solution from 99% thymoquinone powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testo Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm sure DMSO will dissolve it pretty well, however it is somewhat toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamlet Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 What other solvents that can be used to deliver it to experimental animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedcarli Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm sure an ether or an alcohol would dissolve it pretty well. Try ethanol, water may be far too polar but an ether or alcohol would be the best choice. Since you are using it to deliver it to animals the best way is to find a solvent that will not be toxic and can be easily metabolized by the animal.
