Sulfamethoxazole  (Synonyms: Ro 4-2130)

Cat. No.: HY-B0322 Purity: 99.70%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Sulfamethoxazole (Ro 4-2130) is a sulfonamide antibiotic with a widespread antibacterial activity. Sulfamethoxazole inhibits bacterial folate metabolism by competing with 4-Aminobenzoic acid (HY-B1008) (PABA) to act on dihydropteroate synthetase and dihydropteroate reductase. Sulfamethoxazole can be used for the study of urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostatitis, and bronchitis.

    In Vitro

    Sulfamethoxazole (0.01-1.28 mg/mL; 120 h) inhibits P. lutzii mitochondrial activity[1].
    Sulfamethoxazole (0.01 mg/mL; 1-2 h) acts in P. lutzii as a competitor for amino acid, nucleic acids and folate cofactor biosynthesis, disrupting mitochondrial functions[1].
    Sulfamethoxazole at different concentrations, by using the whole-cell patch clamp recording method, inhibits the KATP channel currents in mouse pancreatic β cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 is 0.46 mM[3].
    Sulfamethoxazole at different concentrations, through the static incubation assay of islets, stimulates insulin secretion in mouse islets. It can stimulate insulin secretion at a low concentration (0.1 mM) under high-glucose (10 mM) conditions and only at a high concentration (10 mM) under low-glucose (2 mM) conditions[3].

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

    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 (9.87 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      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 (9.87 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.

    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.
