Product Description

Paricalcitol (trade name Zemplar) is a novel and potent vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist created by Abbott Laboratories to prevent and treat secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is characterized by an excess of parathyroid hormone secreted and linked to chronic renal failure. An analog of vitamin D2's active form, 1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol, is paricalcitol. Paricalcitol has been demonstrated to lower parathyroid hormone levels by binding to the vitamin D receptor. In leukemic cells, this agent also upregulates the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and the tumor-suppressor gene PTEN ('Phosphatase and Tensin homolog deleted on chromosome Ten').

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
vitamin D receptor
ln Vitro
Comparing cells in HP medium with paricalcitol (3×10-8 M; HP + PC), a significant decrease in calcification was noted. Nuclear β-catenin is reduced by paricalcitol to levels comparable to those in control cells [1].
ln Vivo
In TAC-pari mice, paricalcitol (300 ng/kg/day) significantly lowers the mRNA expression of ANP, fibronectin, and collagen III, and prevents LV dysfunction [2].
Animal Protocol
Paricalcitol, a selective vitamin D receptor activator that activates the VDR, is administered to a subgroup of mice following TAC or sham surgery at a final dose of 300 ng/kg/day. A solution of 95% propylene glycol and 5% ethyl alcohol is used to dissolve paricalcitol. For five weeks in a row, mice receive three intraperitoneal injections of paricalcitol (or vehicle alone) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Included is a well-known anti-hypertrophic and anti-fibrotic medication called losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Losartan dissolved in drinking water at a concentration of 30 mg/kg/day has been demonstrated to be both feasible and effective in earlier experiments; mice are treated for five weeks in a row. Thus, eight groups in total are investigated. Ten individuals were involved in the study: Sham (n = 10), TAC (n = 10), Sham + losartan (Sham-los, n = 10), TAC + losartan (TAC-los, n = 10), Sham + paricalcitol (Sham-pari, n = 10), TAC + paricalcitol (TAC-pari, n = 10), Sham + paricalcitol + losartan (Sham-combi, n=10) and TAC + paricalcitol + losartan (TAC-combi, n = 10).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 83~100 mg/mL (199.2~240.0 mM)
Ethanol: 12.5~13 mg/mL (30~31.2 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 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 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg

5 mM 0.4800 mL 2.4002 mL 4.8003 mL
10 mM 0.2400 mL 1.2001 mL 2.4002 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.

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
