Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Synthesis of the natural products 3-hydroxymollugin and 3-methoxymollugin.[Pubmed:
20201485 ]
3-Hydroxymollugin 2 and 3-Methoxymollugin 3 are cytotoxic compounds isolated as minor compounds from Pentas longiflora and Rubia cordifolia.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Syntheses of 3-hydroxymollugin 2 and 3-Methoxymollugin 3 were developed starting from easily available 3-bromomollugin 6. Surprisingly, it was found that the reaction of 3-bromomollugin 6 with sodium methoxide in methanol resulted in the formation of 3-Methoxymollugin 3 and the ring-contracted methyl isopropenylfuromollugin 7. A mechanism for this ring contraction is proposed on the basis of a pericyclic retro oxa-6pi ring-opening reaction. A second synthesis of 3-hydroxymollugin 2 was based on epoxidation of methyl 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carboxylate 17 and subsequent reduction of the quinone moiety, ring transformation, and DDQ oxidation. The latter oxidation process results in 3-hydroxymollugin 2 along with the rearranged furomollugin 4, which is a ring-contracted analogue of the natural product mollugin 1.

New pyranonaphthoquinone and pyranonaphthohydroquinone from the roots of Pentas longiflora.[Pubmed:
12350172]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Several quinone type compounds were isolated from the hexane, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate extracts of the roots of Pentas longiflora. The hexane extract afforded two new compounds, [(3alpha,3'alpha,4beta,4'beta)-3,3']-dimethoxy-cis-[4,4'-bis(3,4,5,10-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran)]-5,5',10,10'-tetraone (1) and cis-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydromollugin (2), together with six known compounds, namely, pentalongin, mollugin, trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydromollugin, methyl-2,3-epoxy-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carboxylate, tectoquinone, and 3-hydroxymollugin.
CONCLUSIONS:
From the dichloromethane extract were isolated the three known compounds 3-Methoxymollugin, methyl-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carboxylate, and scopoletin, while the ethyl acetate extract afforded the known 2-methoxy-3-methylanthraquinone.
