Product Description

Levobetaxolol HCl ((S)-Betaxolol; AL 1577A; Betaxon; AL-1577A) is the hydrochloride salt of Levobetaxolol which is a potent beta-adrenergic receptor inhibitor/beta blocker with antihypertensive effects. Levobetaxolol, the S-isomer of betaxolol, shows a higher affinity at cloned human β1 and β2 receptors with Ki value of 0.76 nM and 32.6 nM, respectively. It is used to treat conditions like glaucoma by reducing the pressure inside the eye. The functional activities of cloned human β1 and β2 receptors are potently antagonistic to Levobetaxolol. Levobetaxolol(Ki = 16.4 nM) is more potent than dextrobetaxolol (Ki = 2.97 μM) at inhibiting isoproterenol-induced cAMP production in human non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
β1-adrenergic receptor ( Ki = 0.76 nM ); β2-adrenergic receptor ( Ki = 32.6 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Levobetaxolol has IC50s of 33.2 nM, 2970 nM, and 709 nM, respectively, and potently antagonizes functional activities at cloned human β1 and β2 receptors, as well as at guinea pig atrial β1, tracheal β2, and rat colonic β3 receptors. Levobetaxolol (Ki = 16.4 nM) is more potent than dextrobetaxolol (Ki = 2.97 μM) at inhibiting isoproterenol-induced cAMP production in human non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells.[1] It has been demonstrated that topically applied Levobetaxolol can reach the back of the eye in sufficient amounts to shield retinal ganglion cells from a variety of insults. displacement by Levobetaxolol [3H] -nitrendipine for the rat cortex's L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel receptor, which has an IC50 of 29.5 μM. Levobetaxolol decreases the 45Ca2+ influx stimulated by NMDA by 47.3%. When applied topically, Levobetaxolol lessens the amplitude of the b-wave that results from ischaemia/reperfusion.[2]

ln Vivo
Levobetaxolol (150 mg/eye) is more potent than dextrobetaxolol, reducing intraocular pressure by 25.9% in conscious ocular hypertensive cynomolgus monkeys. [1] In a rat model of photic-induced retinopathy, Levobetaxolol (20 mg/kg) significantly protects retinal function and causes the RPE and outer nuclear layer to thicken. Levobetaxolol (20 mg/kg) increases the levels of bFGF and CNTF mRNA by a factor of ten and two, respectively. These trophic factors have been demonstrated to prevent retinal degeneration in several species. [3]

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~69 mg/mL (~200.6 mM)
Water: ~69 mg/mL (~200.6 mM)
Ethanol: ~69 mg/mL (~200.6 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.27 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 (7.27 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 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
