Ropivacaine hydrochloride
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ropivacaine hydrochloride is a potent sodium channel blocker and blocks impulse conduction via reversible inhibition of sodium ion influx in nerve fibrese. Ropivacaine is also an inhibitor of K2P (two-pore domain potassium channel) TREK-1 with an IC50 of 402.7 μM in COS-7 cell's membrane. Ropivacaine is widely used for neuropathic pain management in vivo.

Ropivacaine hydrochloride inhibits pressure-induced increases in filtration coefficient (Kf) without affecting pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa), pulmonary capillary pressures (Ppc), and zonal characteristics (ZC)[2].
Ropivacaine hydrochloride prevents pressure-induced lung edema and associated hyperpermeability as evidence by maintaining PaO2, lung wet-to-dry ratio and plasma volume in levels similar to sham rats[2].
Ropivacaine hydrochloride inhibits pressure-induced NO production as evidenced by decreased lung nitro-tyrosine content when compared to hypertensive lungs[2].

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: ≥ 1 mg/mL (3.22 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 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: ≥ 1 mg/mL (3.22 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
