Product Description
DL-Laudanosine is a metabolite of Atracurium and Cisatracurium that can cross the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and cause excitement and epileptic seizures.
Laudanosine is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid. It is a metabolite of the neuromuscular blocking agent atracurium and a minor metabolite of the opioid analgesic papaverine. It is also a synthetic precursor to other alkaloids. As a metabolite of atracurium, its accumulation is of clinical concern because it has been shown to have central nervous system excitatory effects, including the potential to cause seizures, particularly in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. It does not have significant neuromuscular blocking activity itself. The compound has a molecular weight of 357.44 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₁H₂₇NO₄.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Laudanosine does not have a specific therapeutic target. Its primary relevance is as a metabolite. It has been shown to interact with various receptors and ion channels, including GABA receptors, where it may act as an antagonist, contributing to its excitatory effects. It may also interact with opioid receptors, though its affinity is low. Its mechanism of action for its excitatory effects is not fully understood but is thought to involve the inhibition of inhibitory neurotransmission.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Laudanosine has been shown to have weak inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase and to interact with GABA receptors. It does not have significant neuromuscular blocking activity. Its central nervous system excitatory effects have been observed in animal models. Detailed in vitro potency data are not extensively provided in the referenced sources.
ln Vivo
DL-Laudanosine has been shown to cause awakening from anesthesia at subconvulsive doses and seems to have the unusual capacity to stimulate the brain in animals under mild anesthesia [1]. Male Wistar rats weighing 120–150 grams and male CFLP mice measuring 18–25 grams are used as animal models [2]. 10–20 mg/kg is the dosage. IV. Management. As a result, the rear limbs twitch and stretch.
In vivo, Laudanosine does not produce significant neuromuscular blockade. However, it has been shown to cause central nervous system excitation, including tremors and convulsions, at high doses in animal models. Its accumulation is a concern in patients with renal or hepatic failure receiving atracurium. These effects are dose-dependent.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for Laudanosine are not typical, as it is a metabolite. However, its interaction with receptors can be studied using radioligand binding assays. For example, its affinity for GABA receptors can be assessed using membrane preparations from brain tissue and radiolabeled GABA receptor ligands.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Laudanosine are performed using neuronal cell lines or primary neurons to study its effects on neuronal excitability. Cells are treated with the compound, and electrophysiological recordings or calcium imaging are used to measure its effects on neurotransmitter signaling.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male CFLP mice, weighing 18-25 grams, male Wistar rats, weighing 120-150 grams [2].
Doses: 10-20 mg/kg. Management: IV
Experimental Results: Causes twitching and stretching of the hind limbs.
In vivo animal models for Laudanosine are used to study its excitatory effects. The compound is administered intravenously or intraperitoneally, and its effects on behavior, such as tremors and seizure activity, are observed. These studies are important for understanding the safety profile of atracurium and its metabolites.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Laudanosine has a molecular weight of 357.44 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₁H₂₇NO₄. Its CAS number is 1699-51-0. The compound is a solid. Purity is typically ≥98%. It is soluble in DMSO. Storage conditions: -20°C. The compound is supplied for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Laudanosine is a metabolite with potential central nervous system excitatory effects. It can cause seizures at high doses. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.
