Product Description

DCPIB (an ethacrynic acid derivative) is a novel, potent and selective blocker of the volume-sensitive anion channel (VSAC) on electrical activity and insulin secretion in rat pancreatic beta-cells. DCPIB inhibited whole-cell VSAC currents in beta-cells with IC50 values of 2.2 and 1.7 microM for inhibition of outward and inward currents, respectively. DCPIB also inhibited the VSAC at the single channel level in cells activated by glucose. In intact cells, DCPIB caused a net increase in beta-cell input conductance and evoked an outward current that was sensitive to inhibition by tolbutamide, suggesting KATP channel activation. However, no KATP channel activation was evident under conventional whole-cell conditions, suggesting that the drug might activate the channel in intact cells via an indirect mechanism, possibly involving nutrient metabolism. DCPIB suppressed glucose-induced electrical activity in beta-cells, hyperpolarised the cell membrane potential at a substimulatory glucose concentration and prevented depolarisation when the glucose concentration was raised to stimulatory levels. The suppression of electrical activity by DCPIB was associated with a marked inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin release from intact islets. It is concluded that DCPIB inhibits electrical and secretory activity in the beta-cell as a combined result of a reciprocal inhibition of VSAC and activation of KATP channel activities, thus producing a marked hyperpolarisation of the beta-cell membrane potential.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In COS-7 cells, DCPIB (10 μM) increases TRAAK currents and activates TREK1 [1]. With an IC50 of 0.14 μM, DCPIB (10 μM) substantially and reversibly suppresses TRESK currents in COS-7 cells [1]. In CPAE cells, 10 μM had no discernible inhibitory effect on ICl, swell circulation, or ICl, Ca [2]. The effects of DCPIB (10 μM, 5 min) on cardiomyocyte vascular layer edema are insignificant [2]. In BV2 cells, LPS-induced MAPK activation is inhibited by DCPIB (10 μM, 3 h) [3].

Improved neuronal injury and inhibition of astrocyte activation by rMCAO deposition are two benefits of LDN-212854 (intracerebroventricular infusion, 1 mM, 10 μL) [3].

*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
