Product Description

Felodipine (formerly also known as CGH-869; trade names Plendil, Renedil etc.), a marketed anti-hypertensive drug, is a potent, selective and long-acting L-type Ca2+ channel blocker (CCB) of the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) class with an IC50 of 0.15 nM. It was approved to treat high blood pressure in 1988. Felodipine is described to inhibit cytokine-induced NO and superoxide production as well as cytokine-induced NO synthase (NOS) mRNA induction, and is suggested to act as a scavenger of superoxide and not an inhibitor of inducible NOS induction. This indicates that Felodipine further protects the vasculature against endogenous free radical generation during inflammatory responses.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The most efficient medication for relaxing pig coronary arteries is felodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (IC50=0.15 nM) [1]. The L-type calcium channel blocker felodipine promotes autophagy and gets rid of a number of proteins linked to neurological diseases that are prone to aggregation [2]. With an IC50 of 1.45 nM, felodipine inhibits the contraction of guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle (GPILSM) mediated by muscarinic receptors (carbachol) in a Ca2+-dependent manner [3].
ln Vivo
Oral administration of Felodipine significantly reduces the average blood pressure (BP) in rats with 5/6 renal ablation, but causes additional impairment of the already impaired renal autoregulation. Administration of Felodipine significantly reduces systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum insulin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by blocking NF-κB activation, and decreases macrophages in the aortic wall, leading to the modulation of vascular inflammatory response.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:77 mg/mL (200.4 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:77 mg/mL (200.4 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.51 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 (6.51 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 2.6025 mL 13.0124 mL 26.0247 mL
5 mM 0.5205 mL 2.6025 mL 5.2049 mL
10 mM 0.2602 mL 1.3012 mL 2.6025 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
