Description

Tetrahydropalmatine possesses analgesic effects. Tetrahydropalmatine acts through inhibition of amygdaloid release of dopamine to inhibit an epileptic attack in rats[1].

IC50 & Target

Dopamine[1]

In Vivo

Tetrahydropalmatine (THP), an active component isolated from corydalis (a Chinese herbal medicine), possesses analgesic effects. Picrotoxin treatment alone has a significant effect on the following activity measure: there is an increase in horizontal motion time (HMT), vertical motion time (VMT), clockwise turnings (CT), anticlockwise turning (ACT) and a decrease in freezing time (FT). Tetrahydropalmatine treatment alone causes a decrease in HMT, VMT and total distance traveled (TDT), but an increase in FT. Pretreatment of rats with an i.p. dose of 10 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg of Tetrahydropalmatine significantly attenuates the Picrotoxin-induced enhancement in HMT, VMT, CT, ACT and TDT, as well as reduction in FT. Another 48 rats under urethane anesthesia are randomly divided into six groups, each of eight rats. The s.c. injection of Picrotoxin causes an increase in amygdaloid release of dopamine (DA), while i.p. injection of Tetrahydropalmatine at 10 mg/kg has an insignificant effect on amygdaloid release of DA. Again, the Picrotoxin-induced increase in amygdaloid release of DA is significantly attenuated by pretreatment with Tetrahydropalmatine. The Picrotoxin-induced augmented amygdaloid release of DA is almost completely abolished by pretreatment with Tetrahydropalmatine 30 min before s.c. injection of Picrotoxin[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (1.89 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Rats[1]
Male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-320 g, are used in the present study. The animals are housed in a temperature-regulated (22±1°C) room on 12:12 h light/dark cycles with food and water available ad libitum. The light is turned on at 06:00 h and turned off at 18:00 h. At least two major groups of animals are studied. (1) Vehicle-treated rats: received an i.p. injection of 0.9% saline plus Picrotoxin (3-4 mg/kg, s.c.). (2) Tetrahydropalmatine-treated rats: receive an injection of Tetrahydropalmatine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) plus Picrotoxin (3-4 mg/kg, s.c.). The effects of s.c. administration of Picrotoxin or Tetrahydropalmatine on locomotor activity are assessed in unanesthetized rats. On the other hand, the effects of Picrotoxin or Tetrahydropalmatine on amygdaloid DA release are assessed in rats under urethane (1.4 g/kg, i.p.) anesthesia[1].
Seventy-two unanesthetized rats are randomly divided into nine groups, each of eight rats. The animals are adapted to the behavior apparatus for 30 min before an injection of Picrotoxin (3 or 4 mg/kg, s.c.), Tetrahydropalmatine (10 or 15 mg/kg, i.p.) or saline. Then, the locomotor activities of these rats are recorded during the 30-min period following the injections[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
