Product Description

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-HT1A Receptor
ln Vitro
Alprenolol (p.o., 50 mg/kg) results in a significant reduction in blood pressure, averaging 20 mm Hg, and an increase in heart rate, averaging 39 beats/min (at 3-hr) in conscious renal hypertensive dogs[1].
Alprenolol (i.p., 5 mg/kg) efficiently inhibits the anxiolytic effects of indorenate and ipsapirone while having no effect on motor activity the anxiolytic effects of indorenate and ipsapirone but do not reduce the motor activity in adult male Swiss Webster mice[2].
Alprenolol (intravenous injection, 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg) can reduce heart rate by 23 beats per minute, diastolic pressure by 10 mm Hg, and systolic pressure by 10 mm Hg. It can also slightly reduce liver and myocardial blood flows by 15% and 17%, respectively at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg in cats[3].
ln Vivo
Aprapralol (oral, 50 mg/kg) significantly reduced blood pressure by an average of 20 mm Hg (3 hours) and increased heart rate by 39 beats/minute (3 hours) in conscious renally hypertensive dogs. 1]. Aprellol (intraperitoneal injection, 5 mg/kg) effectively blocks the anxiolytic effects of indomethacin and ixabepilone, but does not reduce locomotor activity in adult male Swiss Webster mice [2]. Aprapralol (intravenous injection, 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg) can reduce systolic blood pressure by an average of 10 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 10 mm Hg), reduce heart rate by 23 beats/min, and slightly reduce myocardial contractility. At a dose of 1.0 mg/kg, liver blood flow in cats decreased by an average of 17% and 15% respectively [3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~401.4 mM)
H2O: ~0.7 mg/mL (~2.7 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.03 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 (10.03 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.

*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
