Product Description

Tolvaptan (formerly OPC41061; OPC-41061; trade names Samsca; Jinarc; Resodim) is a selective, competitive, orally bioavailable and nonpeptide antagonist of arginine vasopressin V2 receptor with anti-hypernatremic activity. It inhibits the arginine vasopressin V2 receptor with an IC50 of 3 nM. The use of tolvaptan to treat hyponatremia has been approved. Vasopressin receptor 2 antagonists such as tolvaptan are used to treat hyponatremia, or low blood sodium levels, which is linked to cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
vasopressin receptor 2 ( IC50 = 3 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Tolvaptan did not inhibit V(1b) receptors, but it did block the binding of [(3)H]AVP to human V(2) receptors with 29-fold higher selectivity than that of V(1a) receptors. In human V(2)-receptor-expressing HeLa cells, tolvaptan inhibits both the binding of [(3)H]AVP and the AVP-induced cyclic AMP production. In both healthy and sick animals, tolvaptan exhibits pronounced aquaresis.[1] Tolvaptan inhibits the production of cAMP induced by arginine vasopressin in a concentration-dependent manner, with an apparent IC(50) of 0.1 nM in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cells. Tolvaptan prevents cell division and ERK signaling that is triggered by AVP. Tolvaptan inhibits the release of Cl(-) when exposed to AVP and reduces the formation of cysts in vitro in ADPKD cells grown in a three-dimensional collagen matrix.[2]

ln Vivo
Tolvaptan improves both organ water retention and hyponatremia, preventing death in rat models with acute and chronic hyponatremia. In dogs with heart failure (HF), tolvaptan lowers cardiac preload without negatively affecting circulating neurohormones, systemic hemodynamics, or kidney function. In animal models of human polycystic kidney disease (PKD), tolvaptan has been shown to reduce kidney weight as well as cyst and fibrosis volume.[1] In heart failure-stricken rats, tolvaptan significantly increases urinary arginine vasopressin (AVP) excretion and electrolyte-free water clearance (E-CH(2)O) or aquaresis to a positive value.[3]
Cell Assay

Concentration: 0-100 μM

*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
