Product Description

Ripasudil HCl dihydrate (formerly K-115; K-115; trade name: Glanatec), the hydrochloride salt and hydrated form of ripasudil, is a ROCK1/2 inhibitor with antihypertensive effects. It inhibits ROCK1/2 with IC50s of 51 nM and 19 nM, respectively. Ripasudil has been approved in Japan for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. In Japan, Ripasudil was used as a 0.4% ophthalmic solution for glaucoma.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Ripasudil (K-115) is a strong inhibitor of ROCK with IC50 values of 19 and 51 nM for ROCK2 and ROCK1, respectively. Ripasudil exhibits mild inhibitory effects on CaMKIIα, PKACα, and PKC, as evidenced by its respective IC50 values of 370 nM, 2.1 μM, and 27 μM [1]. In cultivated trabecular meshwork (TM) cells, ripasudil (K-115; 1, 10 μM) produces cytoskeletal alterations such as cell rounding, shrinkage, and a decrease in actin bundles. In Schlemm's canal endothelial (SCE) cell monolayers, ripasudil (5 μM) dramatically lowers transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and raises FITC-dextran permeability [2].
ln Vivo
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is lowered by dipasudil (K-115) in a concentration-dependent manner, with concentrations in rabbit eyes ranging from 0.0625% to 0.5% and in monkey eyes from 0.1% to 0.4%[1]. In retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), dipasudil (K-115; 1 mg/kg, po daily) has a neuroprotective effect following nerve compression (NC). In mice, ripasudil also prevents oxidative stress brought on by axonal damage. Following NC damage, ripasudil inhibits the time-dependent generation of ROS in RGCs[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 26 mg/mL warmed (65.7 mM)
Water: 79 mg/mL (199.5 mM)
Ethanol: 5 mg/mL (12.6 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.16 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), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.16 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.16 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 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.


Solubility in Formulation 4: 100 mg/mL (252.60 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.

*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
