Product Description

ML218 (CID-45115620; ML-218; CID45115620) is a novel, potent and selective T-Type Ca(2+) (Ca(v)3.1, Ca(v)3.2, Ca(v)3.3) inhibitor (Ca(v)3.2, IC(50) = 150 nM in Ca(2+) flux; Ca(v)3.2 IC(50) = 310 nM and Ca(v)3.3 IC(50) = 270 nM, respectively in patch clamp electrophysiology) with good DMPK properties, it displayed acceptable in vivo rat PK and excellent brain levels. Electrophysiology studies in subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons demonstrated robust effects of ML218 on the inhibition of T-Type calcium current, inhibition of low threshold spike and rebound burst activity. Based on the basal ganglia circuitry in Parkinson's disease (PD), the effects of ML218 in STN neurons suggest a therapeutic role for T-type Ca(2+) channel inhibitors, and ML218 was found to be orally efficacious in haloperidol-induced catalepsy, a preclinical PD model, with comparable efficacy to an A(2A) antagonist, a clinically validated PD target. ML218 proves to be a powerful new probe to study T-Type Ca(2+) function in vitro and in vivo, and freely available.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
ML218 demonstrated good free fractions in both rats and humans in plasma protein binding experiments (equilibrium dialysis). ML218 is highly cleared in rats (CLint = 115 mL/min/kg) according to investigations on intrinsic clearance in liver microsomes, whereas it is only weakly to moderately cleared in human liver microsomes (CLint = 12.7 mL/min/kg)[1].
ln Vivo
Rats that have been exposed to a 0.75 mg/kg dosage of haloperidol exhibit cataleptic behavior that is reversed by ML218 (0.03-30 mg/kg; oral administration; once; male Sprague-Dawley rats)[1]. Over the whole dose range, the concentrations of ML218 in the free brain and plasma increase in a dose-proportional manner (3 mg/kg: [plasma] = 98 nM, [brain] = 1.66 μM; 10 mg/kg: [plasma] = 282 nM, [brain] = 5.03 μM; 30 mg/kg: 1.2 μM, [brain] = 17.7 μM)[1]. According to noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis, the mean residence time (MRT) of ML218 (1 mg/kg, IV) is almost 7 hours, which is in line with its terminal half-life (t1/2 = 7 hours)[1].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats (275-299 g) induced by haloperidol[1]
Doses: 0.03 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg , 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral administration; once
Experimental Results: Reversed cataleptic behavior in rats induced by a 0.75 mg/kg dose of haloperidol.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (16.92 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 62.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL 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 2.7076 mL 13.5380 mL 27.0761 mL
5 mM 0.5415 mL 2.7076 mL 5.4152 mL
10 mM 0.2708 mL 1.3538 mL 2.7076 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
