Azaperone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Azaperone is an antagonist of dopamine D2 receptor (Dopamine D2 Receptor) and α-adrenergic receptor (AR). Azaperone reduces vasomotor tone, mean arterial pressure, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, and etorphine-induced duration; induces transient tachycardia followed by bradycardia, splenic uptake of red blood cells, and sedation; alters animal behaviors; and produces sedation with distinct onset and duration in foals. Azaperone is used for sedation and tranquilization in various animals to reduce stress and aggressive behaviors, and serves as a preanesthetic agent.

Biological Activity
Co-administration of Azaperone (0.03-0.0375 mg/kg; i.m.) with Etorphine reduces the median induction time of white rhinoceroses to 6.25 min while maintaining a median immobilization quality score of 2[2].
Azaperone (2-4 mg/kg; i.m., intranasal administration; single dose) exerts sedative effects on healthy weaned piglets[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Welsh Mountain ponies (either sex, 3-5 years old, 202-300 kg)[1]
-
Dosage:0.4 mg/kg; 0.8 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.m.; single dose
-
Result:Produced a moderate blood pressure-lowering effect that lasts for at least 4 hours, with an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 30-38% at 0.8 mg/kg.
-
Animal Model:Ceratotherium simum (male, 5-6 years old, 1000-1500 kg)[2]
-
Dosage:0.03 mg/kg (for 1000-1250 kg rhinoceros); 0.0375 mg/kg (for 1250-1500 kg rhinoceros)
-
Administration:i.m.; single dose
-
Result:Reduced median induction time to 6.25 minutes (range 5.35-6.9 minutes), a ~30% reduction compared to etorphine alone.
Maintained median immobilization quality score at 2 (range 2-3), identical to etorphine alone.
-
Animal Model:gilts (weaned, ~28 days old, mean body weight 8.10-8.80 kg)[3]
-
Dosage:2 mg/kg (i.m.); 2 mg/kg (intranasal); 4 mg/kg (intranasal)
-
Administration:i.m.; single dose; intranasal; single dose via LMA MAD Nasal applicator
-
Result:To achieve a sedative level comparable to that of standard intramuscular injection (2 mg/kg), a dose of 4 mg/kg via nasal administration is required.
Nasal administration of 2 mg/kg took longer to take effect (60 minutes) and Had a weaker effect than intramuscular injection.

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 (7.64 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 (7.64 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.
