Product Description

A-438079 HCl is a novel, potent, and selective P2X7 receptor antagonist with pIC50 of 6.9. A438079 protects against acetaminophen-induced liver injury by inhibiting p450 isoenzymes, not by inflammasome activation. A-438079 reduced electrographic and clinical seizure severity during status epilepticus and reduced seizure-induced neuronal death in the neocortex. Blockade of P2X(7) receptors may represent a novel protective strategy for striatal DA terminals in Parkinson's disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
A 438079 inhibits BzATP-10 μM-induced fluctuations in intracellular calcium concentration in 1321N1 cells that express the rat P2X7 receptor stable, with an IC50 of 321 nM. At doses up to 100 μM, 438079 is likewise selective for the P2X7 receptor [1].
ln Vivo
In neuropathic rats, 438079 (80 μmol/kg, i.v.) decreases the evoked activity of many classes of spinal cord neurons, both painful and nonnoxious. In SNL and CCI models, the withdrawal threshold was dramatically enhanced by 438079 (100 and 300 μmol/kg, ip) [1]. Sixty minutes after convulsions began, an intraperitoneal dose of A 438079 (5 and 15 mg/kg) decreased intrahippocampal neuronal death and seizure severity. When compared to phenobarbital at the same dose (25 mg/kg), 438079 exhibits better neuroprotective properties [2]. The depletion of striatal DA reserves caused by 6-OHDA is somewhat but significantly prevented by 438079 [3]. In the HC model, a 438079 Pretreatment lowers nociceptive behavior scores [4].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~326.64 mM)
H2O : ~0.2 mg/mL (~0.65 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.17 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.17 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 0.5838 mL 2.9188 mL 5.8375 mL
10 mM 0.2919 mL 1.4594 mL 2.9188 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
