Description

Urapidil is an α1 adrenoreceptor antagonist and a 5-HT1A receptor agonist.

IC50 & Target[1]

5-HT1A Receptor

 

α1-adrenoreceptor

 

In Vitro

Urapidil is an α1 adrenoreceptor antagonist and a 5-HT1A receptor agonist. Urapidil does not affect vascular tone at concentrations up to 10-5 M. Urapidil (10-5 M) markedly inhibits the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist (phenylephrine)-induced concentration-dependent contractions in aortic rings without endothelium and also to some extent in those with endothelium. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of Urapidil is more pronounced in rings without endothelium than in those with endothelium. Urapidil (10-5 M) affects neither the vascular tone nor the concentration-dependent contraction to serotonin[1].

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 (6.45 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 (6.45 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.

Cell Assay

The rat aorta is placed in Krebs solution and stripped of connective tissue, then subsequently cut into rings (2 to 3 mm in length). As indicated, the endothelium is removed by rubbing the intimal surface of rings with a pair of forceps. The rings are suspended in organ baths containing oxygenated (95% O2 and 5% CO2) Krebs bicarbonate solution. Following equilibration for 90 min under a resting tension of 2 g, the rings are contracted with KCl (80 mM) to assess their reactivity. After a 30-min washout period, the rings are contracted with the α1-adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine (10-6 M) to about 80% of the maximal contraction before addition of acetylcholine (10-6 M) to check for the presence of a functional endothelium. After a 30-min equilibration period, the rings with or without endothelium are exposed to Urapidil (10-5 M) for 25 min before inducing a concentration-contraction curve to phenylephrine[1].

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.
