Product Description

GRA Ex-25 is a novel and potent inhibitor of glucagon receptor with IC50 of 56 and 55 nM for rat and human glucagon receptors, respectively. In our assay conditions, GRA Ex-25 binds a human glucagon receptor (h-GlucRbind) with a Ki of 63 nM and a moderate glucagon-induced adenylate cyclase inhibition (h-GlucRcyclase) with a Ki of 254 nM. GRA Ex-25 exhibits a comparable affinity (IC50=56 and 55 nM, respectively) for the rat and human glucagon receptors. When glucagon is administered exogenously to rats, GRA Ex-25 (3 mg/kg, i.v.) dramatically lowers blood glucose levels. Thanks primarily to its direct inhibition of glucagon-stimulated hepatic glucose output, GRA Ex-25 can block the rise in blood glucose levels caused by exogenous administered glucagon.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
rat glucagon receptor ( IC50 = 56 nM ); human glucagon receptor ( IC50 = 55 nM )
ln Vitro
GRA Ex-25 exhibits a 63 nM Ki for the human glucagon receptor (h-GlucRbind) and a 254 nM Ki for the moderate glucagon-induced adenylate cyclase inhibition (h-GlucRcyclase) in our assay[1]. The affinity of GRA Ex-25 for the rat and human glucagon receptors is comparable (IC50=56 and 55 nM, respectively)[2].
ln Vivo
GRA Ex-25 (3 mg/kg, i.v.) dramatically lowers blood glucose brought on by exogenous glucagon administration in rat model. Because GRA Ex-25 directly inhibits glucagon-stimulated hepatic glucose output, it can prevent the rise in blood glucose levels brought on by exogenous glucagon administration[2].
Animal Protocol
Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200 grams who have not fasted are kept anesthetized throughout the test by intraperitoneal injection of a 1:1 combination of Hypnorm (fentanyl, 0.05 mg/mL and fluanizone, 2.5 mg/mL) and Dormicum (midazolam, 1.25 mg/mL). In order to administer compounds, an catheter is placed in the jugular vein. Test compounds (0, 1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) and glucagon (3 μg/kg) are given in intervals of 5 minutes, approximately 60 minutes after the anesthesia is started. Samples for determination of blood glucose concentrations are taken from the tail tip 25 and 5 min prior to administration of the compound to represent average basal values and again 10 min after administration of glucagon (time for peak response of glucagon). The values obtained 10 minutes after alucagon administration are subtracted from the average of the two basal values to express the results as delta values.

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.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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
