Levonordefrin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Levonordefrin ((-)-Cobefrin; (-)-α-Methylnoradrenaline; (-)-Nordefrin) is an α-adrenergic receptor agonist with blood pressure regulatory properties. Levonordefrin is a key metabolite responsible for the hypotensive effect of α-methyldopa. By stimulating central α-adrenergic receptors in the nucleus tractus solitarius region of the medulla oblongata, Levonordefrin induces centrally mediated hypotension and bradycardia. When administered intravenously, Levonordefrin increases mean arterial blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner. Levonordefrin is applicable for research on the pathophysiology of hypertension and drug metabolism.

Animal Model:Wistar rats (male, 200-250 g, anesthetized with urethane)[2]
-
Dosage:5.8 nmol; 23.0 nmol; 92.0 nmol; 23.0 nmol (post-Phentolamine pre-treatment)
-
Administration:bilateral microinjection into nucleus tractus solitarii; 0.6 μL over 30 seconds; 23.0 nmol (10 minutes after phentolamine microinjection)
-
Result:Caused a maximum mean blood pressure decrease of -16 ± 2 mm Hg and heart rate decrease of -27 ± 11 bpm at 5 minutes, with effects resolved by 30 minutes (blood pressure +1 ± 26 mm Hg, heart rate +42 ± 26 bpm) at 5.8 nmol.
Caused sustained, statistically significant (p < 0.01) decreases in mean blood pressure and heart rate through 30 minutes: -33 ± 6 mm Hg/-56 ± 14 bpm at 5 minutes, -33 ± 6 mm Hg/-66 ± 7 bpm at 10 minutes, -23 ± 5 mm Hg/-43 ± 7 bpm at 20 minutes, -15 ± 4 mm Hg/-28 ± 9 bpm at 30 minutes at 23.0 nmol.
Caused sustained, statistically significant (p < 0.01) decreases in mean blood pressure and heart rate through 30 minutes: -39 ± 5 mm Hg/-38 ± 7 bpm at 5 minutes, -43 ± 4 mm Hg/-75 ± 11 bpm at 10 minutes, -32 ± 3 mm Hg/-86 ± 11 bpm at 20 minutes, -20 ± 3 mm Hg/-74 ± 14 bpm at 30 minutes at 92.0 nmol.
Produced maximum changes of +31 ± 6 mm Hg (blood pressure) and +27 ± 9 bpm (heart rate) within 2 minutes when 23.0 nmol was administered 10 minutes after prior phentolamine microinjection, completely preventing and reversing hypotensive and bradycardic effects.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (272.91 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 5 mg/mL (27.29 mM; ultrasonic and warming and adjust pH to 1 with HCl and heat to 60°C)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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 (13.65 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
