Product Description
Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) calcium is extracted from Pseudomonas fluorescens and is an orally bioactive antibiotic. Mupirocin calcium exerts antibacterial effects by reversibly inhibiting isoleucine transfer to RNA, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein and RNA synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonate) Calcium (0-100 μM; 48 h) exhibits antibacterial action against specific Gram-negative bacteria, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus, with MIC values ranging from 0.06-0.25 μg/mL (MIC50 = 0.12 μg/mL, MIC90 = 0.25 μg/mL)[1]. Since human serum proteins and mugirocin calcium are substantially bound (95% bound), mugirocin calcium activity is inhibited when human serum is present [1]. According to research, mupirocin calcium inhibits bacterial protein and RNA production by reversibly blocking isoleucyl transfer RNA [2]. Mupirocin calcium (2% ointment) can decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-1β and IL-17), decrease tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression, and boost VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) expression [4]. With MICs of 0.25, 1.26, and 1.59 mg/L, muticipin cal may suppress the growth of S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, MR (S. epidermidis (Se56-99), and VIR (S. epidermidis (Se43-98)). Note: Minimum inhibitory concentration, or MIC.
ln Vivo
After oral and parenteral administration, MRSA: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) Calcium is well absorbed; however, serum antibiotic concentrations are short-lived because of extensive degradation to the antibacterial inactive metabolite Mupirocin A [1]. During topical treatment, mugirocin calcium (2% ointment; twice daily; 3-6 days) lowers the overall bacterial load in lesions [3]. MRSA-infected mice's pressure ulcers are healed after four days of topical application of 2% mupirocin calcium ointment [4]. The use of mupirocin calcium (100 mg/mL; subcutaneous injection; 7 days) has been shown to be protective against Staphylococcus epidermidis-induced vascular prosthetic graft infections [5].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.9622 mL 4.8109 mL 9.6218 mL
5 mM 0.1924 mL 0.9622 mL 1.9244 mL
10 mM 0.0962 mL 0.4811 mL 0.9622 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
