Product Description

Terazosin HCl (A45975; A 45975; A-45975; Vasocard; Hyprin), the hydrochloride salt of Terazosin (racemate of terazosin), is a potent and selective α1-adrenoceptor antagonist which is used for treatment of symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH- benign prostatic hyperplasia). Terazosin produces cytotoxicity with an IC50 of greater than 100 μM in PC-3 and human benign prostatic cells. In cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells, terazosin also effectively inhibited tube formation and vascular endothelial growth factor-induced proliferation (IC50 9.9 and 6.8 μM, respectively).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
α1-adrenoceptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Terazosin exhibits cytotoxicity against human benign prostatic cells and PC-3 cells at an IC50 greater than 100 μM. Moreover, terazosin successfully prevented the proliferation and tube formation of vascular endothelial growth factor-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells in culture (IC50 9.9 and 6.8 μM, respectively)[3].

ln Vivo
Terazosin completely inhibits motor activity and catalepsy in a dose-dependent manner. When administered intraventricularly, this antagonist prevents N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroxyquinoline from alkylating striatal and cerebral cortical alpha 1 receptors in vivo, but not striatal or cortical D1 receptors. Additionally, hypothermia and a slowed breathing rate indicative of a diminished sympathetic outflow are brought on by intraventricular terazosin. Terazosin has no effect on the ability to perform on a horizontal wire test or to move cooperatively during a swim test[2]. Terazosin has a more powerful anti-angiogenic effect than cytotoxic one, as evidenced by its significant inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis in nude mice (IC50 of 7.9 μM)[3].
Cell Assay
In the current study, various identification techniques were employed to ascertain the mode of action of the cytotoxic effect. With terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling, apoptotic cells can be identified in situ. After PC-3 cells were treated with 100 μM terazosin for 12 hours, the results indicate a positive response.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.3590 mL 11.7952 mL 23.5905 mL
5 mM 0.4718 mL 2.3590 mL 4.7181 mL
10 mM 0.2359 mL 1.1795 mL 2.3590 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
