Product Description

Nicaraven is a hydroxyl radical scavenger with antivasospastic and neuroprotective effects. Nicaraven causes a dose-dependent, slight inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase activation, possibly due to a direct inhibitory effect on the catalytic activity of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase in RAW murine macrophages stimulated with peroxynitrite. Nicaraven partially protects against the peroxynitrite-induced suppression of mitochondrial respiration in RAW macrophages and causes a slight, dose-dependent inhibition of nitrite production in RAW macrophages stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nicaraven, in concentration levels of 350 μM or higher, considerably inhibits the maximal aggregation rate generated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the healthy volunteer platelets. 1.75 mM of nicaraven considerably reduces the maximal aggregation rate generated by collagen[1].
ln Vivo
Nicaraven suppresses liver enzyme release, endothelin-1 rise in hepatic venous blood, histologic damage, and neutrophil infiltration into the liver[1]. It also improves hepatic and systemic hemodynamics and energy metabolism. Nicaraven also inhibits lipid peroxidation in the liver. In bone marrow and peripheral blood, Nicaraven increases the quantity of c-kit(+) stem/progenitor cells, and in age-matched, non-irradiated healthy mice, the recovery rate ranges from 60 to 90%. Nicaraven treatment entirely protects the potency of colony formation from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells as an indicator of function[2]. When hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells are administered with nicaraven, their number grows dramatically, their capacity to form colonies improves, and their DNA damage is reduced. Mice treated with nicaraven had considerably lower urinary levels of 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine, a measure of DNA oxidation, than mice given a placebo. When mice are administered nicaraven, their plasma levels of TNF-α and IL-6, two inflammatory cytokines, are considerably reduced[3].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (9.67 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 (9.67 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 27.5 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.

*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
