Product Description
Tacrine HCl is a potent inhibitor of AChE and BChE with IC50s of 31 nM and 25.6 nM respectively. Tacrine HCl is also an NMDAR inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50 of 26 μM. Tacrine HCl is used to study Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In a concentration-dependent manner, tacrine (12.5-37.5 nM) inhibits both human blood butyrylcholinesterase and venom acetylcholinesterase [1]. With an IC50 of roughly 500 μM, tacrine lessens the neurotoxicity brought on by NMDAR activation in mouse cortical neuron cultures [2]. With an IC50 of roughly 190 μM at -60 mV, tacrine suppresses the NMDAR response in a concentration-dependent manner [2].
ln Vivo
In mice aged 17 and 30, tacrine (20–40 μmol/kg; subcutaneous injection) reduces their ability to retain passive avoidance learning, but low-dose tacrine treatment (5 μmol/kg; subcutaneous injection) enhances their capacity to retain learning in 17-day-old mice [2]. Although tacrine (0.1–0.4 mg/mL; intraperitoneal injection for 7 days) can suppress AChE expression, its protective effects on mouse retinal morphology and function are not appreciably enhanced [3].

Additional Infomation

Tacrine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of tacrine, an aminoacridine derivative with cognitive stimulating property. Although the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, tacrine hydrochloride may bind reversibly to cholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase as well as butyrylcholinesterase, thereby decreasing the breakdown of acetylcholine, and prolonging synaptic actions as well as increased release of acetylcholine. In addition, this agent inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO) and may inhibit the reuptake of catecholamines and serotonin. Finally, a novel mechanism of action studied in animal models suggests tacrine to attenuate the production of interleukin-1beta in the hippocampus and blood, thereby producing central and peripheral anti-inflammatory effects that may play a role in Alzheimer's disease.
A cholinesterase inhibitor that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Tacrine has been used to counter the effects of muscle relaxants, as a respiratory stimulant, and in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other central nervous system disorders.

*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
