| Targets |
Dantrolene sodium targets the ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in skeletal muscle, specifically inhibiting calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. By blocking RyR1-mediated calcium release, dantrolene reduces excitation-contraction coupling and decreases muscle contraction. It does not affect neuromuscular transmission or the electrical properties of muscle fibers.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Dantrolene sodium inhibits calcium-induced calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. In vitro, the compound reduces muscle contractile responses to electrical stimulation and pharmacological agents that induce calcium release. The IC50 for inhibition of calcium release is in the low micromolar range depending on the assay system.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, dantrolene sodium produces muscle relaxation by reducing calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It is effective in treating malignant hyperthermia, a life-threatening condition triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine. The compound also reduces muscle spasticity in neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. Oral administration produces dose-dependent muscle relaxation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For ryanodine receptor binding assays, skeletal muscle microsomes (heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum) are incubated with [³H]-ryanodine and varying concentrations of dantrolene sodium. Specific binding is determined by subtracting non-specific binding in the presence of excess unlabeled ryanodine. IC50 values are calculated from competition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, primary skeletal muscle cells or myotubes are loaded with calcium-sensitive fluorescent dyes (e.g., Fluo-4, Fura-2). Cells are treated with dantrolene sodium at various concentrations and stimulated with caffeine or halothane to induce calcium release. Intracellular calcium levels are measured by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In animal models, dantrolene sodium is administered orally or intravenously. For malignant hyperthermia models, susceptible animals (e.g., pigs or mice) are exposed to halothane and succinylcholine, and dantrolene is administered to reverse the hyperthermic crisis. Body temperature, muscle rigidity, and metabolic parameters (e.g., blood gases, lactate) are monitored. For spasticity models, the compound's effects on muscle tone and reflex activity are assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Dantrolene sodium is administered orally or intravenously. Oral bioavailability is approximately 30% due to first-pass metabolism. The compound is metabolized in the liver, primarily by CYP450 enzymes, to 5-hydroxydantrolene, which is excreted in urine and bile. The half-life is approximately 8–12 hours. Dantrolene sodium is protein-bound (>95%).

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Medication Use During Lactation Since there is no information regarding long-term use of dantraline during lactation, alternative medications are recommended, especially when breastfeeding newborns or premature infants. After short-term use, the drug is expected to be cleared from breast milk within 1 to 2 days. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. Dantrolene sodium can cause dose-dependent muscle weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Hepatotoxicity is a rare but serious adverse effect, requiring monitoring of liver function during chronic use. The compound is contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment. At therapeutic doses, the benefits generally outweigh the risks in indicated conditions. |
| Additional Infomation |
Crystals (soluble in DMF aqueous solution). (NTP, 1992)
Dantrolene sodium (anhydrous) is the anhydrous sodium salt of dantrolene. It contains the dantrolene (1-) ligand. Dantrolene sodium is the sodium salt form of dantrolene, a hydantoin derivative and a direct-acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Dantrolene inhibits excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle by binding to rennet receptor 1, thereby reducing intracellular calcium ion concentration. Rennet receptors mediate the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a key step in muscle contraction. Dantrolene is a skeletal muscle relaxant that acts by interfering with excitation-contraction coupling in muscle fibers. It is used to treat spasticity and other neuromuscular abnormalities. Although the mechanism of action of dantrolene may not be central, it is generally classified as a central muscle relaxant. See also: Dantrolene (with active fraction). Dantrolene sodium is a muscle relaxant that inhibits calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum by targeting the ryanodine receptor (RyR1). It is used clinically for malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and muscle spasticity. The compound is administered orally or intravenously and has a half-life of 8–12 hours. |
