Product Description
Octopamine ((±)-p-Octopamine) HCl is a biological monoamine structurally related to norepinephrine and functions as a neurohormone, neuromodulator, and neurotransmitter in invertebrates. Octopamine HCl has a stimulatory effect on α2-ARs in Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with human alpha2-adrenergic receptors (ARs). Octopamine HCl increases glycogenolysis, glycolysis, oxygen uptake, gluconeogenesis, and portal perfusion pressure.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite; α2-adrenergic receptor
ln Vitro
Octopamine is involved in a number of physiological processes: (a) it acts as a neuromodulator, controlling the desensitization of sensory inputs, arousal, initiation, and maintenance of complex behaviors like learning and memory; (b) it acts as a neurotransmitter, controlling the activity of endocrine glands; and (c) it acts as a neurohormone, causing the mobilization of fats and carbohydrates. In order to cause its effects, octopamine binds to particular proteins that are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and have seven transmembrane domains in common structurally[1].

Additional Infomation
(R)-octopamine is an octopamine. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-octopamine.
p-Hydroxyphenylethanolamine has been reported in Aplysia californica, Fascaplysinopsis reticulata, and other organisms with data available.
An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D(-) form is more potent than the L(+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ≥ 100 mg/mL (~527.3 mM)
H2O: ≥ 50 mg/mL (~263.7 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 100 mg/mL (527.31 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 5.2734 mL 26.3671 mL 52.7343 mL
5 mM 1.0547 mL 5.2734 mL 10.5469 mL
10 mM 0.5273 mL 2.6367 mL 5.2734 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
