Product Description

Loreclezole (R-72063; R 72063; R72063), a triazole analog, is a sedative, anti-seizure/anticonvulsant and antiepileptic agent that acts as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of GABAA receptor. Loreclezole has anti-seizure activity in a variety of seizure models, acting more like a barbiturate than a benzodiazepine in that the increase in seizure threshold produced by loreclezole was potentiated rather than blocked by the benzodiazepine antagonist, flumazenil, confirming that loreclezole does not interact with the benzodiazepine recognition site. In animal seizure models, loreclezole is protective against pentylenetetrazol seizures but is less active in the maximal electroshock test.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vivo
Loreclezole (10, 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg, administered intraperitoneally 60 minutes before epileptic threshold measurement) induced a dose-dependent rise in epileptic threshold, as determined by the dose of pentylenetetrazole necessary to trigger convulsion 60 minutes later. Loreclezole also has negligible effects on loss of muscle tone, as evaluated by the "Pull-Up" test [3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male Lister Hooded rat[3].
Doses: 10, 25, 50 or 75 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: IP, 60 minutes before measuring seizure threshold.
Experimental Results: Produced a dose-dependent increase in epileptic threshold, as measured by the dose of pentylenetetrazole required to produce convulsion after 60 minutes.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~110 mg/mL (~400.68 mM)
H2O : < 0.1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.58 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.58 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 20.8 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.)

*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
