Product Description

Nicorandil (formerly RP46417; SG-75; SG75; RP-46417; Dancor and Adancor) is a potassium channel activator that has been approved as a vasodilatory drug to treat angina. It stimulates guanylate cyclase to increase formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP). Nicorandil causes vasodilatation of arterioles and large coronary arteries. Nicorandal's nitrate-like properties produce venous vasodilation through stimulation of guanylate cyclase.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nicorandil (SG-75) activates ATP-sensitive K+ channels consisting of Kir6.2 and either sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) 2A or 2B[1]. Nicorandil is a vasodilatory medication used to treat angina. Nicorandil (SG-75) activates guanylate cyclase to promote synthesis of cyclic GMP (cGMP). cGMP stimulates protein kinase G (PKG) which phosphorylates and inhibits GTPase RhoA and reduces Rho-kinase activity. Reduced Rho-kinase activity promotes an increase in myosin phosphatase activity, lowering the calcium sensitivity of the smooth muscle. PKG also activates the sarcolemma calcium pump to remove activating calcium. PKG operates on K+ channels to increase K+ efflux and the resulting hyperpolarization inhibits voltage-gated calcium channels. Overall, this leads to relaxation of the smooth muscle and coronary vasodilation[2][3].
ln Vivo
Nicorandil (2.5 mg/kg daily, p.o.) combined with Amlodipine (5.0 mg/kg daily, p.o.) for 3 days significantly prevents these alterations and restored the enzyme activities to near normal in rats.
Animal Protocol

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 42 mg/mL (198.9 mM)
Water: 17 mg/mL (80.5 mM)
Ethanol:42 mg/mL (198.9 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.84 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 (11.84 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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
