Product Description

Losartan (DuP-753) is a potent, selective, and non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist, it competes with angiotensin II for binding to AT1 receptors with IC50 of 20 nM. Losartan reduces the jugular vein and rabbit aorta's ability to contract due to angiotensin II (pA2 = 8.27). It is a medication that is taken orally to treat hypertension. Monkeys with diet-induced hypercholesterolemia show marked increases in plasma angiotensin II and angiotensin-(1–7) in response to losartan (180 mg/d).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AT1 Receptor
ln Vitro
Losartan competes with angiotensin II's ability to bind to AT1 receptors in vitro; the concentration that prevents 50% of this binding (IC50) is 20 nmol/L[1]. In VSMCs, losartan increases AMPK phosphorylation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. It also raises the phosphorylation of LKB1, an AMPK upstream kinase, and ACC, a significant downstream target protein in the AMPK signaling cascade. While p27 expression levels remain unchanged, losartan causes a time-dependent increase in p53 and p21 expression. Losartan inhibits the expression of cyclin D and cyclin E, which are necessary for the progression of the cell cycle, as well as Ang II-induced Rb phosphorylation. Therefore, G0/G1 cell cycle arrest—which is reversible by AMPK inhibition, such as compound C or AMPK siRNA, but not by apoptosis—is the mechanism by which losartan suppresses growth[2].
ln Vivo
Losartan has a major active metabolite, EXP 3174. EXP3174 is 10–20 times more potent and acts for a longer period of time when administered intravenously than losartan. EXP 3174 has a very low oral bioavailability, though. When dosed at 50–100 mg/d, losartan has a bioavailability of roughly 33%, a half-life of 2 hours (6–9 hours), and a rate of protein binding of 98.7%[1]. In hypertensive rats, treatment with losartan reduces the loss of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in terms of both quantity and function[3].
Cell Assay
The MTT assay is used to quantify the viability and proliferation of cells. In a 96-well plate, 5000 cells are seeded with 200 μL media per well for the assay. After allowing the cells to attach over night, the medium is suctioned out. After adding MTT to serum-free medium at a concentration of 1 mg/mL, the mixture is incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. To dissolve the formazan crystals, 100 μL of DMSO is added after the MTT solution is removed. Then, using a microplate reader, absorbance is measured at 570 nm and 600 nm as references. Thus, the variation in absorbance is related to the degree of cell survival.
Animal Protocol
Mice of the wild type mate with female Fbn1C1039G/+ mice at predetermined times. Ocular losartan (0.6 g/L in drinking water; n = 10), propranolol (0.5 g/L; n = 6), or placebo (n = 12) is administered to pregnant female Fbn1C1039G/+ mice at 14.5 days post-coitum. Up until the age of ten months, therapy is administered during lactation and following weaning. These methods are applied to the sacrifice and examination of mice. In MFS, the current, albeit contentious, standard of care for modulating abnormal growth of the aortic root is β-adrenergic receptor blockade; propranolol and losartan are the comparison drugs. At 7 weeks of age, oral losartan (0.6 g/L in drinking water; n = 5), propranolol (0.5 g/L; n = 7), or a placebo (n = 10) is administered to wild-type and Fbn1C1039G/+ mice. Following six months of oral treatment, mice are sacrificed.

*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
