Product Description

Metoclopramide HCl is a potent and selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. It is a medication used mostly for stomach and esophageal problems such as nausea and vomiting. It can help with emptying of the stomach in people with delayed stomach emptying due to either diabetes or following surgery, and help with gastroesophageal reflux disease. In addition, it can also used to treat migraine headaches.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Aldosterone release in isolated rat glomerular zona perfused cells is stimulated by metoclopramide (0.01-10 μM) [3]. Acetylcholine (ACh) is released from intrinsic cholinergic motor neurons through four mechanisms that metoclopramide causes: inhibition of presynaptic D2 receptors, stimulation of presynaptic excitatory 5-HT4 receptors, inhibition of D2 postsynaptic receptors, and antagonism of presynaptic inhibition of muscarinic receptors, which leads to an additional increase in acetylcholine release [2].
ln Vivo
Throughout the whole estrous cycle, metoclopramide (6.7 µg/g; daily subcutaneous injection for 50 days) dramatically raises pituitary prolactin cell volume and quantity [4]. Mice treated intraperitoneally with metoclopramide (5–40 mg/kg) exhibit catalepsy and are less likely to climb their cages in response to apomorphine [5]. Mice that receive an intraperitoneal dose of metoclopramide (1.25–2.5 mg/kg) may exhibit a stereotypical behavior of climbing cages [5].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult female mice of Swiss EPM-1 strain [4]
Doses: 6.7 µg/g
Route of Administration: daily subcutaneous injection for 50 days
Experimental Results: Increased the amount of prolactin and also stimulated its metabolic activity.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~110 mg/mL (~366.91 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (9.17 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 27.5 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: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (9.17 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 27.5 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.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.3356 mL 16.6778 mL 33.3556 mL
5 mM 0.6671 mL 3.3356 mL 6.6711 mL
10 mM 0.3336 mL 1.6678 mL 3.3356 mL

*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

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
