Product Description

Ethacrynic acid (also known as MK-595, NSC-624008, NSC-85791, Hydromedin, Crinuryl, Mingit, Etacrinic acid, Otacril Reomax, Taladren, and Edecrin) is a high ceiling loop diuretic that inhibits the Na+/K+/2Cl-cotransporter NKCC2. The swelling brought on by conditions like congestive heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure is treated with it, as well as edema, high blood pressure, and these conditions. It works as a high ceiling loop diuretic and has anticancer properties as well as cytotoxicity against primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
L-type calcium channel
ln Vitro
In CLL cells, ephacrynic acid (50 μM; 24 hours) suppresses Wnt/β-catenin signaling [1]. With an IC50 of 8.56 μM, ethanolic acid (1-100 μM; 48 hours) is cytotoxic to CLL cells [1]. The eye's aqueous humor rises in response to diuretic acid (0.01-0.25 mmol/L; 30 minutes), and the rate of water outflow increases from 28% to 105% [2]. Diuric acid has anti-inflammatory properties and can decrease the activation of NF-κB staining in RAW264.7 cells when used in LPS (100 ng/mL) at 10-100 μM for 30 minutes [3]. MCF-7 spots exposed to radiation are improved by ethanolacrynic acid (20 μM/mL; 2 hours). High-K+ (80 mmol/L) and acetylcholine (acetylcholine, ACh, 100 μmol/L) are inhibited by ethanolic acid (100 μmol/L; 62.5-250 minutes). In mice, the EC50 resulting from contraction of the tracheal ring was 40.28 µmol/L and 56.22 µmol/L, respectively[8]. The intracellular Ca2+ concentrations caused by high K+ and ACh were decreased from 0.40 to 0.16 and from 0.50 to 0.39, respectively, by ethacrynic acid (100 µmol/L; 500-2500 seconds) [8].

*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
