- The table below compares storage protocols for MOTS-c across different formulation states and temperature ranges, including stability duration and degradation risk.
- Lyophilised powder (unreconstituted)
- −20°C (freezer)
- 24–36 months
- Minimal. Oxidative degradation only in absence of water
- High. Tolerates brief ambient exposure (<48 hours) without significant loss
- Optimal long-term storage; minimises all degradation pathways
- 2–8°C (refrigerator)
- 3–6 months
- Slow oxidative and thermal degradation
- Moderate. Acceptable for short-term but suboptimal for extended storage
- Acceptable for short-term but inferior to freezer storage
- Reconstituted solution (mixed with bacteriostatic water)
- 21–28 days
- Peptide bond hydrolysis accelerated by temperature
- Low. Single 24-hour ambient exposure causes 20–30% degradation
- Mandatory refrigeration; no freezing permitted
- Reconstituted solution
- Not recommended
- Ice crystal formation physically disrupts peptide structure
- N/A. Freezing itself is the degradation event
- Freezing reconstituted peptides destroys bioactivity through mechanical stress
- 20–25°C (room temperature)
- 24–36 hours to 50% degradation
- Rapid peptide bond hydrolysis
- None. Degradation begins immediately and accelerates exponentially
- Unacceptable. Complete loss of bioactivity within 72 hours
