Product Description

Cimetidine (Tagamet; Cimetag; SKF-92334; Eureceptor; Ulcedine), an approved drug used in the treatment of heartburn and peptic ulcers, is a potent histamine congener that competitively inhibits the binding of histamine to histamine H2 receptors. Cimetidine specifically inhibits the histamine H2-receptor and stops the production of stomach acid.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Histamine Receptor ( Ki = 0.6 μM ); H2 Receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Cimetidine (SKF-92334), a partial agonist for H2R, differs from ranitidine and famotidine in its pharmacological profile, which may be a factor in its ability to inhibit the growth of gastrointestinal cancers [1]. Cimetidine had no effect on the cytotoxicity and uptake of cisplatin in IGROV-1 cells, which are ovarian cancer cells with high levels of OCT2 mRNA[3].
Cimetidine had no effect on the migration, invasion, survival, or proliferation of 3LL cells. Cimetidine enhanced IFN-γ production and undid MDSC-mediated T-cell suppression[4]. The suppression of NF-kappaB'snucleartranslocation, a transcriptional activator of NCAM gene expression, was a component of the imimetidine-mediated down-regulation of NCAM[5].

ln Vivo
Cimetidine (SKF-92334) decreases the accumulation of myeloid derived-suppressive cells (MDSC) in the spleen, blood, and tumor tissue of mice harboring tumors[4].
Cimetidine reduces alveolar bone resorption and the RANKL/OPG ratio in gingival connective tissue, which is beneficial for rats with periodontal disease[6].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 51~60 mg/mL (202.1~237.8 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: ~3 mg/mL (~11.9 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 3 mg/mL (11.89 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 30.0 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: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.89 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 30.0 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
