[3H]ketanserin attaches to 5-HT2 receptors in the frontal cortex of human and bovine brains in the presence of loxapine, with Ki values of 6.2 nM and 6.6 nM, respectively. The potency of loxapine at different receptors was graded as follows in competition assays employing human membranes: 5-HT2≥D4>>>>>D1>D2[1]. In LPS-activated mixed glial cell cultures, loxapine (0–20 μM) decreases IL-1β secretion; in mixed glial cell cultures, it decreases IL-2 secretion; and in microglia cells, it decreases LPS-induced IL-1β and IL-2 secretion [2].

| ln Vivo |
In the rat brain, loxapine (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 4 or 10 weeks) reduces serotonin (S2) but does not raise the number of dopamine (D2) receptors [3].
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male Wistar rat (150-175 g) [3]
Doses: 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, one time/day for 4 or 10 weeks Experimental Results: Induced significant reduction in serotonin (S2) (more than 50%)) daily injections increased receptor density after 4 or 10 weeks, but did not produce any significant increase in dopamine receptor density. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.63 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 (7.63 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. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.63 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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.
Calculation results
Working concentration： mg/mL；
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution： mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation:：Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O，mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
