Product Description

Droperidol (Dridol; Properidol; Dehydrobenzperidol; Inapsine) is a novel and potent D1DR and D2DR inhibitor with anti-emetic, sedative and anti-anxiety activities. It is also an antidopaminergic medication with antipsychotic and antiemetic properties. In the context of intensive care, droperidol is also frequently used for sedation and neuroleptanalgesic anesthesia.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Droperidol causes peripheral vascular dilatation and mild α-adrenergic blockade. Droperidol has been shown to block potassium efflux in the myocardium in isolated animal ventricular myocytes, resulting in a dose-dependent delay in repolarization. In isolated animal Purkinje fibers, droperidol has also been demonstrated to cause early depolarizations. [1]
ln Vivo
Droperidol (0.01 mM-0.3 mM) increases the action potential duration (APD) in a dose-dependent manner while leaving the other parameters unchanged in rabbit Purkinje fibers stimulated at 60 pulses/min. In rabbit Purkinje fibers, droperidol (1 mM–3 mM) causes the prolonging effect to reverse. In rabbit Purkinje fibers, droperidol (10 mM–30 mM) causes a considerable reduction in Vmax, action potential amplitude, and resting membrane potential in addition to a 50% repolarization in APD shortening. Droperidol has a dual effect on rabbit Purkinje fiber repolarization, prolongation at low concentrations with EAD development, and subsequent triggered activity.[2] Droperidol (3 mg/kg, single dose) reduces the apomorphine effects of rats as well as their locomotion and rearing frequencies in an open field in a dose-dependent manner. Rats given droperidol (3 mg/kg) over an extended period of time develop a notable tolerance to all activity parameters observed in the open environment. Withdrawing from droperidol increases reactivity to apomorphine-induced stereotyped behavior.[3]

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~76 mg/mL (~200.3 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.59 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.59 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.6355 mL 13.1777 mL 26.3553 mL
5 mM 0.5271 mL 2.6355 mL 5.2711 mL
10 mM 0.2636 mL 1.3178 mL 2.6355 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
