The solubility in water is 0.3 mg/L at 20°C; the pH is approx. 3.0-3.5 at 20°C.5.
TC is soluble at 0.2 mg/ml in 0.02 N HCl, at 37°C.6
TC is soluble in ethanol, methanol and slightly soluble in acetone and in chloroform.
TC has been solubilized in methanol at 50 mg/ml (some heat may be needed) and in ethanol at 10 mg/ml with sonication; it is insoluble in ethanol at 50 mg/ml.
Preparation and storage of a sterile 10 mg/ml solution of TC in absolute ethanol at 4°C was reported.
Injections of solutions of 20 mg/kg TC each in ethanol and in ethanol:phosphate buffer (2:8, v/v) were given to rats. A 4.0 mM solution in DMSO can be prepared ; DMSO solutions were stored at - 20°C. Store solutions in the dark.
