Biological Activity
|
α adrenergic receptor |
Clonidine (0.01, 0.1 or 1 μM) significantly induces CGRP (α and β) mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner in endothelial cells. Clonidine treatment (1 μM) for 24 h significantly increases the NO level in endothelial cells. NO pathway modulates CGRP production induced by clonidine[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (187.58 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 33.33 mg/mL (125.04 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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
On the day of the experiment, the flow rate is increased to 2 μL/min approximately 2 h before beginning the collection of baseline samples. Dialysates are collected every 20 min; after 4 baseline samples are collected, animals are pretreated with an intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection of either 0.9% saline (the vehicle), clonidine (0.0033, 0.01 or 0.05 mg/kg) or guanfacine (0.05 or 0.5 mg/kg), before receiving an injection of PCP (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) 20 min later. In a separate study, BRL (1.0 mg/kg) is administered 20 min prior to clonidine. In addition, for some control experiments, the animals only receive one injection of saline, clonidine (0.01 or 0.05 mg/kg), guanfacine (0.5 mg/kg) or BRL (1.0 mg/kg).
