Product Description

PNU-120596 (PNU120596; NSC 216666; PNU 120596; NSC-216666) is a potent and selective PAM (positive allosteric modulator) of α7 nAChR (acetylcholine receptor) with an EC50 of 216 NM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
PNU-120596 enhances agonist-induced calcium polarization, which is facilitated by engineered human α7 nAChR variations. According to electrophysiological investigations, PNU-120596 enhanced wild-type lead-mediated increases in cardiac agent-evoked currents and greatly lengthened the evoked response when the agonist was present. The average channel open time of α7 nAChR is increased by PNU-120596 [1]. PNU-120596 has been shown to increase the frequency of ACh-evoked GABA postsynaptic currents recorded in pyramidal neurons in hippocampus slices over time [1]. Through conformational effects akin to but separate from the ACh-promoted gating conformation, PNU-120596 improves agonist-induced nicotine uptake gating [2].
ln Vivo
Rats with amphetamine-induced abnormalities in auditory gating are treated with PNU-120596 (1 mg/kg; i.v.; once) to improve the model's representation of circuit-level disruptions linked to schizophrenia [1]. When given prior to carryeenan, NU-120596 (30 mg/kg; i.p.) dramatically decreased mechanical hyperalgesia and weight-bearing deficits in Sprague-Dawley rats for as long as four hours. PNU-120596 reduces the rise in TNF-α and IL-6 in hindpaw edema caused by carrageenan [3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Sprague Dawley rats (250-300 g) treated with Amphetamine[1]
Doses: 1 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; once
Experimental Results: Improved the auditory gating deficit caused by Amphetamine.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:62 mg/mL (198.9 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:<1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (8.02 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), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 (8.02 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.

*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
