Product Description
Phenamil methanesulfonate is an analogue of Amiloride, a more potent and irreversible epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker with IC50 of 400 nM. Phenamil methanesulfonate is also a competitive inhibitor of TRPP3. In Ca2+ uptake experiments, the IC50 for inhibiting TRPP3-mediated Ca2+ transport was 140 nM. Phenamil methanesulfonate is a small molecule that promotes bone repair by strongly activating the BMP signaling pathway. Phenamil methanesulfonate is being studied in cystic fibrosis lung disease.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TRPC3 140 nM (IC50)
ln Vitro
TRPP3, a cation channel that belongs to the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily, is triggered by Ca2+ and permeable to Ca2+, Na+, and K+. In spinal cord neurons, TRPP3 is involved in the control of pH-sensitive action potentials. In radiotracer uptake experiment, phenamil methanesulfonate (1 μM) reduces 45Ca2+ absorption. With an IC50 value of 0.28 μM in oocytes expressing TRPP3 or oocytes injected with H2O, it inhibits TRPP3-mediated Ca2+ transport[1]. The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is inhibited by phenamil methanesulfonate, a more powerful ENaC blocker than amiloride, with an IC50 of 400 nM (vs 776 nM for amiloride)[2]. In both human and ovine bronchial epithelia cells, phenolmethyl methanesulfonate suppresses baseline short-circuit currents with IC50 values of 75 and 116 nM, respectively[3]. In C3H10T1/2 cells, phenamil methanesulfonate (0–20 μM; 14 days) controls adipogenesis and increases the expression of PPARγ, Fabp4, lipoprotein lipase, and adipogenic genes in a concentration-dependent manner[4]. Methanesulfonate (0–20 μM; 7 or 14 days) boosts concentration-dependently the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in MC3T3–E1 cells and modifies their osteoblastic differentiation[4].
ln Vivo
PAH caused by chronic hypoxia is lessened by phenamil methanesulfonate (subcutaneous injection; 15 or 30 mg/kg; 21 days; infusion rate of 1 ml/h). Furthermore, Phenamil reduces the mRNA levels of SMA, SM22, Id3, and Trb3 in the lung sample in rats under hypoxia or normoxia. Phenamil, however, has minimal effects on the pulmonary vasculature in a physiological setting[5].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 25 mg/mL (62.22 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.22 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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.

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

5 mM 0.4977 mL 2.4886 mL 4.9772 mL
10 mM 0.2489 mL 1.2443 mL 2.4886 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
