Product Description

Laropiprant (aslo known as MK-0524; Cordaptive) is a novel, potent, selective DP [prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptor (DP)] receptor antagonist with Ki values of 0.57 nM and 2.95 nM for DP receptor and TP Receptor, respectively. Laropiprant, which was formerly prescribed in conjunction with niacin to lower blood cholesterol (LDL and VLDL), is no longer in production because of an increase in adverse effects that outweigh any cardiovascular benefits. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent a "not approved" letter for Cordaptive on April 28, 2008. On July 3, 2008, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Tredaptive. On January 11, 2013, Merck & Co. Inc. declared that they were discontinuing the medication globally due to suggestions from European regulators.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DP ( Ki = 0.57 nM ); TP Receptor ( Ki = 2.95 nM )
ln Vitro
Laropiprant is a potent, selective antagonist of the DP receptor with Ki values for the TP Receptor and DP receptor of 2.95 nM and 0.57 nM, respectively.[1]. Although laropiprant (1 µM) significantly inhibits the aggregation, it still negates the strong inhibition brought on by BW245c (3 nM) and PGD2 (30 nM). Laropiprant inhibits P-selectin expression, GPIIb/IIIa activation, and in vitro thrombus formation in addition to the DP receptor-dependent increase in VASP phosphorylation. By activating the TP and EP3 receptors, laropiprant counteracts the increased platelet aggregation. Niacin and laropiprant (10 µM) both prevent thrombus formation in vitro[2].
ln Vivo
Laropiprant (100-100 mg/kg; intravenous and oral; male) Sprague-Dawley rats) show positive pharmacokinetic characteristics. [3].

Cell Assay
Vena8Fluoro+ Biochips are coated with collagen (200 µg/mL) at 4°C for an entire night. After that, they are blocked for 30 minutes at room temperature using bovine serum albumin (10 µg/mL), and then they are cleaned. After being collected in sodium citrate, 1 µM of 3, 3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide is incubated for 10 minutes in the dark with whole blood. Ten minutes prior to the onset of perfusion, PGD2 (30 nM), BW245c (3 nM), and the DP antagonist BWA868c or Laropiprant (1 µM) are added. In an additional series of tests, whole blood is exposed to 30 minutes of treatment with either niacin (3 mM), acetylsalicylic acid (1 mM), or laropiprant (1 µM and 10 µM). A final concentration of 1 mM of CaCl2 is added two minutes prior to the perfusion over the chip coated in collagen. The shear rate at which perfusion occurs is 30 dynes cm^2. The formation of thrombus is noted. DucoCell analysis software is used for computerized image analysis, where the area covered by the thrombus is computed. Percentage of the area covered in a control sample is used to express data[2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~87 mg/mL (199.6 mM)
Ethanol: ~87 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.4588 mL 2.2941 mL 4.5882 mL
10 mM 0.2294 mL 1.1471 mL 2.2941 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
