Product Description
Asimadoline (EMD-61753) is an orally bioactive, selective, peripherally active kappa-opioid agonist with IC50s of 5.6 nM and 1.2 nM for guinea pig and human recombinant kappa-opioid, respectively. Asimadoline has low permeability of the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and has peripheral anti~inflammatory effects. Asimadoline improves allodynia in diabetic rats and has potential usefulness in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
guinea pig κ opioid ( IC50 = 5.6 nM ); human recombinant κ opioid ( IC50 = 1.2 nM )
ln Vitro
Asimadoline (EMD-61753) has high selectivity at 1:501:498 opioid binding ratios for κ: μ: δ in human recombinant receptors. At 3 µM for μ-opioid receptors and 0.7 µM for μ-opioid receptors, asimadoline's binding IC50 values are determined. All of the receptors: D1, D2, kainate, σ, PCP/NMDA, H1, α1, α2, M1/M2, glycine, 5HT1A, 5HT1C, 5HT1D, 5HT2, 5HT3, AMPA, and kainate/AMPA have IC50 values greater than 10 µM[1].
Asimadoline exhibits affinity for sodium and L type Ca2+ ion channels, with IC50 values ranging from 150 to 800 times higher than that of κ receptors[1].
Asimadoline exhibits spasmolytic action against 400 µM barium chloride in the rat duodenum at high concentrations (IC50=4.2 µM), indicating that Asimadoline may mitigate the direct stimulant effects of barium on smooth muscle via unidentified mechanisms[1].
ln Vivo
Asimadoline (EMD-61753; 1, 5, 15 mg/kg; s.c.) acutely reduces tactile allodynia and formalin-evoked hyperalgesia in diabetic rats[3].
In rats, the rate of absorption after oral administration is 80%, whereas in dogs and monkeys, it exceeds 90%. Asimadoline's metabolism is quick and seems to be similar in both humans and animals. Increases in joint fluid substance P levels are one way that asimadoline's peripheral anti-inflammatory effects are partially mediated[1].
Asimadoline (5 mg/kg/day; intraperitoneal) treatment results in a significant (and long-lasting) reduction in the illness with all three time regimens[2].
Animal Protocol
Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats
1, 5, 15 mg/kg
SC; single dose

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.4123 mL 12.0616 mL 24.1231 mL
5 mM 0.4825 mL 2.4123 mL 4.8246 mL
10 mM 0.2412 mL 1.2062 mL 2.4123 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
