Product Description

Aminophylline (also known as Phyllocontin; Euphyllin; Truphylline), a bronchodilator composed of theophyllineand ethylenediamine in 2:1 ratio, is a novel, potent, competitive nonselective phosphodiesterase/PDE inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.12 mM. It is also a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist. Aminophylline is used to treat wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The bronchodilator theophylline is combined in a 2:1 ratio with ethylenediamine to form aminophylline. Aminophylline is typically found as a dihydrate, and the ethylenediamine increases solubility. Theophylline is more potent and has a longer half-life than aminophylline. It is most frequently used to treat airway obstruction brought on by COPD or asthma. Off-label, it is employed in nuclear stress testing as a reversal agent. Aminophylline is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and nonselective antagonist of adenosine receptors. An extracellular messenger found in the body that can control myocardial oxygen requirements is adenosine. It works by blocking atrioventricular node conduction, increasing coronary artery blood flow, slowing heart rate, suppressing cardiac automaticity, and reducing the effects of β-adrenergic on contractility through cellular surface receptors that alter intracellular signaling pathways. Additionally, circulating catecholamines' chronotropic and ionotropic effects are countered by adenosine. All things considered, adenosine lowers the heart's contraction force and rate, which increases blood flow to the heart muscle. This mechanism (meant to protect the heart) may result in atropine-resistant refractory bradyasystole under certain conditions. The effects of adenosine vary with concentration. Aminophylline and other methylxanthines are competitive antagonists of adenosine receptors. Adenosine's cardiac effects are competitively inhibited by aminophylline at the cell surface receptors. It consequently raises contractility and heart rate.

*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
