Product Description

Triamterene (formerly SKF-8542; SKF8542; BRN-0266723; Dyrenium; Diucelpin; Diurene) is a diuretic commonly used in combination with thiazide diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene) for the treatment of high blood pressure or swelling. Triamterene has potassium sparing properties, and also blocks Na+ channel (ENaC) in a voltage-dependent manner with an IC50 of 4.5 μM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Triamterene is cytotoxic to HCT116 and CT26 cells, with IC50 values of 31.30 and 24.45 μM [5]. Triamterene (100 and 200 µM, 2 hours) promotes lysosomal rupture, lowers lysosomal integrity, and triggers lysis in HepG2 cells [6]. Triamterene (10-100 µM) suppresses delayed rectifier potassium currents in guinea pig ventricular myocytes [7].
ln Vivo
In addition to intravenous pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) (0.5%, 1 mL/min), intraperitoneal PTZ (85 mg/kg), and maximal shock seizures (shown anticonvulsant efficacy in a rat model of MES)-induced convulsions, trimeterene (10–40 mg/kg/day PO, 5 days) is administered [3]. In awake saline rats, triamterene (25 mg/kg) lowers urine magnesium excretion [4].
Cell Assay
Immunofluorescence[6]
Cell Types: HepG2 cells
Tested Concentrations: 100 and 200 µM
Incubation Duration: 2 h
Experimental Results: Induced Gal3-puncta formation. Induced the translocation of TFEB to the nucleus from the cytosol.

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
