Product Description
CI-966 is a potent, selective, orally bioactive and BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeable/penetrable inhibitor of the GABA transporter GAT-1. The IC50 for inhibiting hGAT-1 and rGAT-1 is 0.26 μM and 1.2 μM, respectively. CI-966 is more than 200 times more selective for GAT-1 than GAT-2, GAT-3 and BGT-3. CI-966 has anticonvulsant (antiepileptic/antiseizure) and neuro-protective (neuro-protection) activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In neurons and glial cells, CI-966 specifically inhibits GABA reuptake to produce its effects [4].
ln Vivo
When given to rats trained in pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) administration, CI-966 causes moderate levels of PTZ lever responses [4]. Gamma-aminobutyric acid's in situ actions in the CA1 pyramidal layer are amplified by CI-966. Sprague-Dawley rats were given systemic administration of CI-966 via intraperitoneal injection (5 mg/kg) while under urethane anesthesia. Micro-iontophoretic GABA had a typically significant, but highly variable, inhibitory effect on the hippocampal group peak in the CA1 area 20 to 30 minutes after injection [5]. Different animal models demonstrate the anticonvulsant effects of CI-966. When given orally to dogs, 1.39 mg/kg CI-966 was absorbed quickly, peaking 0.7 hours later. Rats receiving an oral dose of 5 mg/kg showed a mean tmax of 4.0 hours. In dogs and rats, elimination t1/2 averaged 1.2 and 4.5 hours following intravenous administration of the same dosage. In both species, CI-966 has a 100% oral bioavailability [6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 8 male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rats [4]
Doses: 0.3-30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection in a volume of 1 mL/kg
Experimental Results: Dose-dependent decrease in response rate after CI-966 administration .

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 1.9613 mL 9.8064 mL 19.6128 mL
5 mM 0.3923 mL 1.9613 mL 3.9226 mL
10 mM 0.1961 mL 0.9806 mL 1.9613 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
