From Pacholko 2023 PMID 37356352: LiOr was synthesized by combining lithium hydroxide (Sigma-Aldrich), and orotic acid (Sigma-Aldrich) in a 1:1 M ratio in distilled water; the NaCl concentration was adjusted to 0.9% and pH to 7.4.

From Pacholko 2023 PMID 37356352: LiOr was synthesized by combining lithium hydroxide (Sigma-Aldrich), and orotic acid (Sigma-Aldrich) in a 1:1 M ratio in distilled water; the NaCl concentration was adjusted to 0.9% and pH to 7.4. Doses were administered as 0.1 ml/10g BW (10 ml/kg), with the highest dose of 15 mg/kg Li+ => 375 mg/kg LiOr => 230 mM (NB: not sure how they got this much to dissolve in water)

0.15M NaOr: mix equal volumes of 0.3 M NaOH and 0.3 M orotic acid

* Make 500 ml of 0.15M LiOH (1.80 g LiOH / 500ml dH<small>2</small>0).

* 0.3M orotic acid (MW 156.10) = 46.83 g / liter, 0.94 g / 20 ml

* Make 500 ml of 0.15M NaOH (3.00 g NaOH / 500ml dH<small>2</small>0).

* 0.3M LiOH (MW 23.95) = 7.19 g / liter, 0.14 g / 20 ml

* 0.3M NaOH (MW 39.997) = 12 g / liter, 0.24 g/20ml

LiCO should also dissociate completely  (citation needed).

LiOr, however is more tightly bound complex (citation needed). So we'll mix up LiOr in 0.15 NaCl to preserve osmolarity.
