IC50 & Target

β1 adrenoceptor

 

In Vitro

Metoprolol (0-1000 μg/mL; 24-72 h) shows cytotoxic effect on U937 and MOLT-4 cells dose and time dependently[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3]

Incubation Time: 24, 48 and 72 h
Result: Significantly decreased the viability of U937 and MOLT-4 cells at 1000 μg/mL (3740.14µM) concentration after 48 hours incubation time, significantly reduced the viability of U937 cells at ≥500 μg/ml (≥1870.07µM) concentrations after 72 hours incubation time, and significantly decreased the viability of MOLT4 cells at ≥100 μg/ml (≥374.01µM) concentrations after 72 hours incubation.
In Vivo

Metoprolol (2.5 mg/kg/h; infusion; 11 weeks) reduces proinflammatory cytokines and atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− Mice[1].
Metoprolol (15 mg/kg/q12h; i.g.; 5 days) shows anti-inflammation and anti-virus effects in murine model with coxsackievirus B3-induced viral myocarditis[2].
Metoprolol (2.5 mg/kg; i.v.; 3 bolus injections) significantly decreased activated caspase-9 protein expression and inhibits myocardial apoptosis in coronary microembolization (CME) rats[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male ApoE−/− mice[1]
Dosage: 2.5 mg/kg/h
Administration: Via osmotic minipumps, 11 weeks
Result: Significantly reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in thoracic aorta, reduced serum TNFα and the chemokine CXCL1 as well as decreasing the macrophage content in the plaques.
Animal Model: Balb/c mice, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) induced viral myocarditis (VMC) model[2]
Dosage: 15 mg/kg/q12h
Administration: Oral gavage, 5 consecutive days
Result: Reduced pathological scores of VMC induced by CVB3 infection, protected the myocardium against viral damage by reducing serum cTn-I levels. Decreased the levels of myocardial pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine. Significantly decreased myocardial virus titers.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.35 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.35 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.

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.
