Arecaidine hydrochloride
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Arecaidine hydrochloride is a GABA transport system inhibitor. Arecaidine hydrochloride inhibits the proliferation of oral mucosal fibroblasts, increases the secretion of IL-6, TGF-β and TNF-α in cells, downregulates the expression of PPAR-γ and PCK1 in cells, and upregulates the expression of TGF-β1. Arecaidine hydrochloride inhibits the uptake of γ-aminobutyric acid and β-alanine by the central nervous system of cats. Arecaidine hydrochloride inhibits hPAT1-mediated L-[3H]proline uptake in cells. Arecaidine hydrochloride can be used in research related to neurological diseases.

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.
