Product Description

Treprostinil sodium (LRX-15; Remodulin for infusion, Orenitram for oral, and Tyvaso for inhalation), a synthetic analog of prostacyclin (PGI2), is a novel and potent DP1 and EP2 agonist with EC50 values of 0.6±0.1 and 6.2±1.2 nM, respectively. Treprostinil is a vasodilator that is applied to the management of hypertension in the lungs. The FDA approved treprostinil inhalation form in July 2009; it is sold under the trade name Tyvaso.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IP Receptor ( EC50 = 1.9 nM ); TP Receptor ( EC50 = 919 nM ); IP Receptor ( Ki = 32.1 nM ); FP Receptor ( Ki = 4680 nM ); DP1 ( EC50 = 0.6±0.1 nM ); EP2 ( EC50 = 6.2±1.2 nM ); DP1 ( EC50 = 4.4 nM ); EP2 ( EC50 = 3.6 nM ); EP4 ( EC50 = 826 nM ); EP3 ( EC50 = 2505 nM ); EP1 ( Ki = 212 nM ); EP1 ( EC50 = 285 nM ); EP3 ( EC50 = 68.9 nM ); EP4 ( EC50 = 181 nM )
ln Vitro
Treprostinil sodium exhibits low affinity for EP1 and EP4 receptors, even lower affinity for EP3, FP, and TP receptors, and high affinity for DP1, EP2, and IP receptors (Ki=4.4, 3.6, and 32 nM, respectively). Similar to treprostinil, activation of IP, DP1, and EP2 receptors can all cause the human pulmonary arteries to vasodilate[1]. Cultured endothelial colony forming cells' viability is inhibited by treprostinil sodium. The proliferation of endothelial colony forming cells is induced by conditioned media derived from mesenchymal stem cells that have been treated with treprostinil[5].
ln Vivo
The most recent medication to be approved by the FDA to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a deadly orphan disease, is inhaled treprostinil sodium, a prostacyclin analog[2]. Compared to a placebo, treprostinil lessens platelet deposition early after transplantation and maintains the sinusoidal endothelial cell lining. The treprostinil group maintains blood flow close to normal levels, while the placebo group's hepatic tissue blood flow is significantly reduced[3]. In Matrigel implanted in nude mice, treprostinil treatment dramatically increases the vessel-forming ability of endothelial colony forming cells combined with mesenchymal stem cells. Treprostinil's pro-angiogenic effect is also inhibited by silencing the VEGF-A gene in mesenchymal stem cells[4]. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from mice and humans respond best to treprostinil when it comes to increasing intracellular cAMP levels[5]. When compared to normoxic mice, treatment with Treprostinil significantly reduces the recruitment of cells. Treprostinil fails to reverse right ventricular hypertrophy, but it does lower right ventricular systolic pressure and slightly lessen vascular remodelling[6].
Cell Assay
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from humans or mice are cultured for one hour and twenty-four hours at 37°C either in the presence of vehicle or in combination with 10 μM Treprostinil and 30 μM forskolin. The apoptosis kit is used to stain cells for externalized phosphatidylserine after they have been washed with phosphate-buffered saline at 4°C[5].
Animal Protocol
Rats: For the study, male Lewis rats weighing between 200 and 300 g are employed. 24 hours prior to hepatectomy, donor animals are given treprostinil or a placebo, and the corresponding recipient animal receives the same care until the moment of sacrifice. Treatment is invisible to the surgeon. To study what happens right after IRI, recipients are sacrificed 1, 3, 6, 24 and 48 hours after transplantation. Using an Alzet implantable osmotic pump, subcutaneous administration of treprostinil (100 ng/kg/min) or placebo is performed. This dosage is chosen to produce a plasma concentration that is steady-state and falls between 5 and 20 ng/mL[3].
Mice: Mice that have had bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are split up into five groups, each with six to ten mice. In a normobaric chamber, one group of mice is exposed to hypoxia (10% inspired oxygen fraction), while the other group of mice (control BMT) spends 28 days in a normoxic chamber with a normal oxygen environment (21% inspired O2 fraction). While the two other groups of mice receive four weeks of hypoxic exposure and receive Treprostinil infusions at varying dose levels (14 ng/kg and 70 ng/kg per minute), the sham group mice receive saline treatment. Comparatively, infusion rates for humans in PAH therapy range from 10 to 60 ng/kg per minute[6].

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
