Retosiban
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Retosiban (GSK221149A) is a potent, selective, and orally active oxytocin receptor antagonist (Ki (hOT) = 0.65 nM, Ki (rOT) = 4.1 nM) with no detectable agonist activity. Retosiban has nanomolar affinity for the oxytocin receptor with >1400-fold selectivity over the closely related vasopressin receptors. Retosiban inhibits spontaneous and induces uterine contractions. Retosiban can be studied in research for preterm labour.

Biological Activity
IC50: 0.65 nM (Oxytocin)[1]
Retosiban (Compound GSK221149A) (0.1-10 μM) produces parallel rightward shifts of oxytocin-induced concentration-response curves in rat isolated myometrial strips[4].
Retosiban (1 μM) alleviates the effect of stretch under high tension on myometrial contractility in tissues[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Retosiban (1 nM-1 μM, i.v., single dose) produces a dose-dependent decrease in oxytocin-induced uterine contractions with an ID50 = 0.27 mg/kg and IC50 = 180 nM in anaesthetized and non-pregnant Sprague-Dawley female rats[1].
Retosiban (Compound 74) (0.3-3 mg/kg, i.v., single dose) significantly reduced spontaneous uterine contractions in a dose-dependent manner in late-term pregnant rats[3].
Retosiban (Compound GSK221149A) (0.1-1 mg/kg, i.v., single dose) results in a dose-dependent reduction in oxytocin-induced uterine contractions in anesthetized rats[4].
Retosiban (5 mg/kg, p.o., once a day for 1 and 4 days) significantly blocks oxytoxin-induced uterine contractions by 72% in nulliparous female Sprague-Dawley rats[4].

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 (5.05 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 (5.05 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.
