Product Description

Tolimidone, formerly known as MLR-1023, is a novel and potent insulin receptor potentiator, and also a selective allosteric activator of Lyn kinase (EC50 of 63 nM).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Insulin Receptor; Lyn (EC50 = 63 nM)
ln Vitro
Tolimidone (MLR-1023) exhibits a 50% increase in enzyme activity that is repeatable when incubated with Lyn kinase. Lyn kinase activation is increased in response to tolimidone in a concentration-dependent manner, increasing by 2.3 and 2.1 fold at concentrations of 3 and 10 μM, respectively. When Tolimidone (100 μM) is added, Lyn kinase activity increases threefold at every tested ATP concentration (Vmax=2601 U/mg). The length of the preincubation period in the absence of ATP determines how much Lyn kinase is activated by tolimidone[1].
ln Vivo
Tolimidone (MLR-1023) (30 mg/kg i.p.) is administered, blood glucose levels are significantly (p<0.05) lowered to 148 and 158 mg/dL, respectively, 30 and 90 minutes later. Adiponectin production and adipocyte differentiation are both markedly increased by tolimidone, increasing them by 19 and 3.7 times, respectively[1]. A maximal effect of 30 mg/kg is observed when tolimidone is administered, eliciting a dose-dependent potentiation of the insulin response[2].
Enzyme Assay
Tolimidone (MLR-1023) (10 μM) is preincubated with kinase and fluoroscein-labeled protein substrate for every kinase test. The amount of fluoroscein phosphopeptide is measured after the addition of ATP, at a concentration equal to or less than the Km for each kinase, starts the reaction. There are two assays performed[1].
Cell Assay
In mouse 3T3-L1 cells, adipocyte differentiation is evaluated following an 8-day incubation period with either Tolimidone (MLR-1023) or Rosiglitazone (10 μM). Transiently transfected cells containing the appropriate DNA constructs (pGAL4/PPARα, σ, or γ) cotransfected with a luciferase reporter vector are used for PPAR (α, σ, and γ) transactivation studies. For twenty-four hours, transfected cells are incubated with tolimidone or a suitable reference compound. The level of PPARα, σ, and γ activation is measured by luciferase activity[1].
Animal Protocol
Baseline glucose, glucose tolerance, and insulin levels are studied in male mice aged 8 to 10 weeks. Intraperitoneal injections of tolimidone (MLR-1023) are given at dose volumes ranging from 5 to 10 mL/kg. A tail snip is used to obtain 5 μL of blood, which is then immediately applied to a glucose test strip. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry is used to measure the levels of Tolimidone in blood. The levels are then compared to a standard curve of Tolimidone prepared in blood[1].

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 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.

*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
