Product Description

Alvimopan (also known as ADL 8-2698; LY 246736; HSDB-7704) is a novel peripheral micro opioid antagonist in clinical development for the management of post-operative ileus and opioid-induced bowel dysfunction. Alvimopan acts for a longer period of time than other antagonists that act more quickly, which may be connected to a slower rate of dissociation from the micro opioid receptor. In comparison to the long-acting partial agonist buprenorphine (t(1/2)=44 min), alvimopan's dissociation rate from the micro opioid receptor (t(1/2)=30–44 min) was slower than that of the antagonists naloxone (t(1/2)=0.82 min) and N-methylnaltrexone (t(1/2)=0.46 min). Moreover, after preincubation with the micro opioid receptor, increases were seen in the apparent affinities and potencies of buprenorphine and alvimopan, but not of naloxone or methylnaltrexone. Alvimopan has a slower rate of dissociation from the micro opioid receptor than other antagonists with shorter half-lives, which is consistent with its prolonged duration of action. It may also have greater potency if given before exogenous opioid dosing.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
μ-opioid receptor ( Ki = 0.77 nM ); δ-opioid receptor ( Ki = 4.4 nM ); κ-opioid receptor ( Ki = 40 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Alvimopan has a more modest (≥6-fold) μ/δ receptor selectivity, but is highly selective (by ≥227-fold) for the human μ receptor over the κ subtype. Alvimopan has pA2 values of 9.6 or 9.7 and is a strong antagonist of morphine, DAMGO or endomorphin-1-induced, and μ opioid receptor-mediated electrically evoked contraction inhibition in the isolated ileum of guinea pigs. The ileum of guinea pigs has lower alvimopan antagonist potencies (δ and κ antagonists, with pA2 values of 8.7 and 7.8, respectively). Upon testing at various non-opioid receptors, ion channels, and enzymes, alvimopan (1 or 10 μM) does not exhibit any noteworthy affinity[2].

ln Vivo
Alvimopan only counteracts morphine-induced analgesia in animals at relatively high dosages; in order for the drug to cross the blood-brain barrier, very high plasma concentrations are required. Alvimopan is about 200 times more effective at blocking peripheral than central μ-receptors after intravenous injection. Alvimopan is also very active when taken orally. Alvimopan administered intravenously to dogs increased plasma area under the concentration-time curve and peak plasma concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. Oral doses up to 100 mg/kg, however, resulted in low plasma concentrations (mean Cmax = 92.9 ng/ml) due to poor systemic absorption, which led to an oral bioavailability of about 0.03%. In dogs and rabbits, the half-life of alvimopan is thought to be roughly 10 minutes following intravenous administration[1].
Enzyme Assay
Alvimopan has a more modest (≥6-fold) μ/δ receptor selectivity, but is highly selective (by ≥227-fold) for the human μ receptor over the κ subtype. Alvimopan has pA2 values of 9.6 or 9.7 and is a strong antagonist of morphine, DAMGO or endomorphin-1-induced, and μ opioid receptor-mediated electrically evoked contraction inhibition in the isolated ileum of guinea pigs. The ileum of guinea pigs has lower alvimopan antagonist potencies (δ and κ antagonists, with pA2 values of 8.7 and 7.8, respectively). Tested at both 1 and 10 μM, alvimopan does not exhibit any noteworthy affinity for a wide variety of non-opioid receptors, ion channels, or enzymes.

*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.

  • 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
