Product Description

TRAM-34 (TRAM34; TRAM 34 Triarylmethane-34) is an inhibitor of Ca2+-activated K+ channel (IKCa1, KCa3.1) with important biological activity. It inhibits Ca2+-activated K+ channel with a Kd of 20 nM, and exhibits 200- to 1500-fold higher selectivity over cloasely related ion channels..

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
TRAM-34 selectively blocks IKCa1 currents (Kd=25 nM), and TRAM-34 also blocks IKCa1 currents in human T84 colon epithelial cells with same efficacy (Kd= 22 nM). TRAM-34 blocks cloned and native IKCa1 channels in human T cells with a Kd of 20-25 nM and is 200 to 1500 times more selective than other ion channels. The dosage response curve demonstrates that 1 μM calcium in the pipette has a Kd of 20±3 nM and a Hill coefficient of 1.2 [1]. TRAM-34 is a selective inhibitor of KCa 3.1 channels that boosts or lowers cell proliferation depending on concentration. At intermediate concentrations (3-10 μM) TRAM-34 enhances cell proliferation, but at higher concentrations (20-100 μM) TRAM-34 lowers cell proliferation. The augmentation of cell proliferation generated by TRAM-34 was prevented by the estrogen receptor antagonists ICI182,780 and Tamoxifen. TRAM-34 also enhances progesterone receptor mRNA expression, decreases estrogen receptor-α mRNA expression, and diminishes the binding of radiolabeled estrogen to the MCF-7 estrogen receptor, in each case imitating 17β-estrogen receptor The involvement of glycol [2].
ln Vivo
Mice (n = 5) given a single intravenous dosage of TRAM-34 (0.5 mg/kg; 29 μM) for seven days showed no abnormalities in their clinical appearance. The TRAM-34 treatment group's body weight data (Day 1: 17.8 g; Day 7: 27.0 g) matched the vehicle-injected control mice's body weight data (Day 1: 17.4 g; Day 7: 23.4 g). Overall, at 500–1,000 times the amount required to block the channel, TRAM-34 is not acutely hazardous, according to results from these small toxicity experiments [1]. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) measurements of lesion area were considerably decreased with TRAM-34 treatment; the mean infarct size decreased from 22.6±3.6% in the control group (n=8) to 10 mg/kg TRAM-34. In rats treated with 40 mg/kg TRAM-34, the percentage decreased to 8.1±1.9% (n=8; P=0.004) from 11.3±2.8% in rats (n=6, mean±s.e.m., P=0.039). Additionally, this treatment helps to lessen brain shrinkage. But only the 40 mg/kg TRAM-34 group's results were statistically significant (P=0.013), but the 10 mg/kg group's results were not (P=0.11) [3].

*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
