| Targets |
Dimethyl lithospermate B targets sodium channels, acting as a selective agonist. It slows the inactivation of the sodium current (INa), leading to an increased inward current during the early phases of the action potential (AP). This effect on sodium channels is its primary mechanism of action, though its mode of action is considered unknown.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Dimethyl lithospermate B demonstrates potent activity as a sodium channel agonist. Its ability to slow sodium channel inactivation is a key finding, which could have implications for treating conditions where sodium channel function is impaired. It also shows potent antioxidant activity, which is a common feature of polyphenols from Salvia miltiorrhiza.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Dimethyl lithospermate B is believed to contribute to the pharmacological effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is used for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Its sodium channel agonist activity suggests it could have positive inotropic effects, potentially improving heart function. Its antioxidant properties may contribute to its protective effects against oxidative stress.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro electrophysiological assay for Dimethyl lithospermate B is the primary method for studying its mechanism. This involves the patch-clamp technique, where sodium currents are recorded from cells expressing sodium channels (e.g., HEK293 cells). The compound is applied, and its effect on the kinetics of sodium channel activation and inactivation is measured. The slowing of inactivation is quantified.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell culture studies for Dimethyl lithospermate B are limited. Its effects could be studied in cardiomyocytes or neuronal cells, where sodium channels are abundant. Cells are treated with the compound, and changes in action potential duration or firing rate are measured using electrophysiological techniques. Its antioxidant activity can be assessed by measuring its ability to scavenge free radicals in cell-free systems.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Dimethyl lithospermate B are not specifically established. However, as a component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, its effects may be inferred from studies on the herb. Animal models of myocardial ischemia or diabetes are used to study the cardioprotective and antidiabetic effects of the extract, which likely involve compounds like Dimethyl lithospermate B.

*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.
