Amifampridine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Amifampridine (3,4-Diaminopyridine) is an orally active, potent and cell permeable voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel blocker (PCB). Amifampridine is efficacy in the reversal of BoNT/A (HY-P79153) intoxication. Amifampridine increases transmitter release from neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Amifampridine can be used for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) research.

Biological Activity
Amifampridine (1.5 μM) significantly reduces Kv3.3 and Kv3.4 currents by about 10% in HEK293T cells, has no effect on Cav2.1 or Cav1.2 current[3].
Amifampridine (0-100 μM) increases the duration of the presynaptic AP (action potential) waveform at mammalian and frog NMJs in a dose-dependent manner[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Amifampridine (2.5 mg/kg (IV); 10 mg/kg (PO); once) shows 1 hour plasma half-life and about 57% bioavailability (F) in mice[2].
Amifampridine has a short plasma half-life and can induce seizures when present at high concentrations, following penetration of the blood-brain barrier[2].

Animal Model:CD-1 mouse (female,25 g, 6 weeks old)[2]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage, once, after BoNT/A administration (IP)
-
Result:Revealed that neither LEMs alone (182 ± 43 min) nor the maximum safe orally deliverable dose of 3,4-DAP alone (225 ± 24 min) could significantly increase the time to death following toxin administration (216 ± 29 min). However, when the 10/50/40 3,4-DAP/LEM/shellac formulation was administered at 25 mg/kg the time to death was 302 ± 26 min - a 40% increase as compared to toxin alone.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (22.91 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (22.91 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
