Product Description

Vecuronium (ORG NC 45) is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent widely used as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. . Vecuronium inhibits both forms of the muscle-type acetylcholine receptor with IC50 of 1-2 mM. Vecuronium combined with methylprednisolone shows additive effects on both receptor forms, which is best described by a two-site model, with each site independent. Vecuronium interferes with nicotinic processes in the carotid body and inhibits the chemoreceptor neural response to hypoxia. Vecuronium significantly attenuates the increase in CSNA (DeltaCSNA) in response to hypoxia in the carotid body.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In adrenal medullary cells, vecuronium bromide (0-100 μM, 15 min) decreases [3H] norepinephrine (NE) uptake to 65% at 100 μM[1]. In a concentration-dependent manner, vecuronium bromide (0-15 μM, 72 hours) suppresses the proliferation and migration of cancer cells[2]. When combined with cisplatin, vecuronium bromide (0–15 μM, 72 hours) can dramatically lower cell viability[2].
ln Vivo
In Wister rats, vecuronium bromide (intravenous injection, 0–5 μM, every 30 min, 2 hours) suppresses the carotid body's neural response to acetylcholine (ACh) and attenuates the response of carotid sinus nerve activity (CSNA) to hypoxia in a dose-dependent manner[3].
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: Lung cancer cell line (A549 )
Tested Concentrations: 0-15 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibited cell proliferation at concentrations ranging from 5.0 μM to 15 μM.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[2]
Cell Types: Lung cancer cell line (A549)
Tested Concentrations: 0-15 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Resulted in a decrease in cell viability from 10 μM to 15 Μm by combining with cisplatin.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Wister rats weighing 250-350 g[3]
Doses: 0-5 μM
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; every 30 min; 2 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished CSNA response to hypoxia at the concentration of 5 μM and decreased carotid sinus nerve response to ACh at 0.5 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
