Product Description
Mapenterol HCl is a β2-adrenoceptor agonist.
Mapenterol hydrochloride is a β2-adrenoceptor agonist. It has a molecular formula of C14H21Cl2F3N2O and a molecular weight of 361.23. It is a related drug of Clenbuterol. Mapenterol hydrochloride can be used as a growth promoter in farm animals. It is a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes. The compound appears as a white to off-white solid powder.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Mapenterol hydrochloride targets the β2-adrenoceptor. As an agonist, it binds to and activates these G protein-coupled receptors, leading to the stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP). This pathway mediates smooth muscle relaxation in the airways, increased cardiac output, and enhanced lipolysis. It is a related drug of Clenbuterol.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Mapenterol hydrochloride acts as a β2-adrenoceptor agonist. Its activity is typically assessed by measuring its ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation in cells expressing the β2-AR. As a structural analog of clenbuterol, it is presumed to share a similar pharmacological profile. Studies have investigated the interactions of mapenterol with serum albumins using multi-spectroscopy and molecular docking.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Mapenterol hydrochloride can be used as a growth promoter in farm animals. As a β2-adrenoceptor agonist, it would be expected to produce bronchodilation, increased cardiac output, and anabolic effects. Its use as a growth promoter is related to its ability to promote muscle growth and improve feed efficiency. However, comprehensive in vivo pharmacological studies are limited.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based receptor binding assays, Mapenterol hydrochloride can be evaluated using membrane preparations from cells expressing the human β2-adrenergic receptor. Radioligand binding displacement experiments are performed using a suitable radiolabeled antagonist such as [3H]-CGP-12177. Membrane homogenates are incubated with increasing concentrations of the test compound and a fixed concentration of the radioligand. Bound radioligand is separated from free by rapid filtration through glass fiber filters. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of excess unlabeled propranolol. IC50 values are calculated from displacement curves using nonlinear regression analysis.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, cells expressing the human β2-adrenergic receptor (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells) are cultured in appropriate media. For functional activity, cells are treated with various concentrations of Mapenterol hydrochloride, and the accumulation of intracellular cAMP is measured using a competitive ELISA or HTRF-based detection kit. The EC50 for cAMP stimulation is calculated from dose-response curves. The compound's potency and efficacy as a β2-agonist can be determined and compared to reference agonists like clenbuterol.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, Mapenterol hydrochloride is typically administered to farm animals via oral administration for growth promotion studies. In such studies, body weight gain, feed efficiency, and muscle mass are measured. Tissue samples may be collected for residue analysis to monitor the compound's distribution and elimination. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific animal species and study objectives.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Mapenterol hydrochloride has a molecular weight of 361.23 and a molecular formula of C14H21Cl2F3N2O. It has a melting point of 176-178°C (decomposition) and a LogP of 5.526. The compound is a white to off-white solid powder. It is soluble in DMSO and can be formulated for in vivo administration. The compound should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Mapenterol hydrochloride has not been extensively reported. As a β2-adrenoceptor agonist, potential adverse effects may include tachycardia, tremors, and cardiac arrhythmias at high doses. The compound has been used as a growth promoter in farm animals, but its safety for human consumption has not been fully established. It is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption.
