Dipropofol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Dipropofol is a dimeric derivative of Propofol (HY-B0649) with antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Dipropofol terminates free radical chain reactions, scavenges DPPH free radicals and inhibits lipid peroxidation. Dipropofol protects cells from death induced by glutamate, Aβ(25-35) and buthionine sulfoximine, and increases the survival rate of mice exposed to oxygen. Dipropofol selectively activates tonic GABAA currents, hyperpolarizes resting membrane potential, reduces action potential firing, and alleviates the severity of seizures induced by Kainic acid. Dipropofol can be used in the research of Gram-positive bacterial infections, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral ischemia-related neuronal injury, oxygen toxicity and temporal lobe epilepsy.

Biological Activity
Dipropofol (62.5-250 μM; 30 min) potently inhibits Fe2+- and ascorbate-induced lecithin lipid peroxidation, with an inhibition rate of 98.2% at 62.5 μM and 98.8% at 250 μM[1].
Dipropofol scavenges DPPH free radicals with an IC50 value of 80 μM[1].
Dipropofol (62.5-80 μM) exhibits in vitro antioxidant activity, with an inhibition rate of 98% against lipid peroxidation at a concentration of 62.5 μM and a DPPH IC50 of 80 μM[2].
Dipropofol (62.5-1000 nM) completely inhibits glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in N18-RE-105 cells at concentrations of 62.5 nM and above[2].
Dipropofol (1-10 μM) completely reverses the cytotoxicity induced by Aβ(25-35) (HY-P0128) in PC12 cells and primary fetal rat hippocampal cells[2].
Dipropofol exhibits potent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (including MRSA and VRE), with MIC values of 2-4 μg/mL, while it shows no activity against Gram-negative bacteria (MIC >128 μg/mL)[2].
Dipropofol (10 μM) hyperpolarizes the resting membrane potential of layer II stellate neurons in the mouse medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) in acute brain slices, reduces action potential firing, and thereby inhibits their excitability; when the membrane potential is clamped at a constant level, this drug has no effect on the intrinsic excitability of neurons[3].
Dipropofol (0.1-100 μM) activates endogenous tonic GABAA currents in layer II stellate neurons of the mouse medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) in acute brain slices, with an EC50 of 9.3 μM[3].

Result:Slowed seizure progression significantly, with lower mean maximum seizure classes recorded at 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 min after Kainic acid injection compared to vehicle controls.
Increased latency to first generalized (class 4) seizure to 36 min.
Reduced incidence of generalized class 4 seizures to 45.5% (5/11) compared to 92.3% (12/13) in vehicle-treated mice.
Decreased the number of mice that progressed to class 5 seizures compared to vehicle controls.

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.
