DALDA carrys a net positive charge (3+) at physiological pH and is thus hydrophilic and more polar than morphine[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
DALDA (0.1 and 1.0 μg/side; ICV; once) results in biphasic effects, with an initial suppression, an intermediate marked inhibition, followed by activation for horizontal movement, rearing and stereotypy times in rats[2].

Animal Model:Male Sprague-Dawley rats (300–350 g)[1]
-
Dosage:0.24, 0.7 and 7 nmol/rat
-
Administration:Intrathecal injection, once
-
Result:Showed antinociceptive effects with an ED50 of 237 pmol/rat in the rat tail-flick test. Inhibited the uptake of NE in spinal cord synaptosomes in a dose-dependent manner. Had no effect on 5-HT uptake. Produced depression in minute ventilation.

-
Dosage:0, 0.1 and 1.0 μg/side, 0.5 μL
-
Administration:Lateral cerebral ventricle injection, once
-
Result:Elicited a significant biphasic effect with an initial suppression, an intermediate marked inhibition, followed by significant activation for horizontal movement time, rearing time, and stereotypy time.

Solvent & Solubility

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:
1. Calculate the length of the peptide.
2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:
| Contents | Assign value | |
|---|---|---|
| Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 |
| Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 |
| Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution:
| Overall charge of peptide | Details |
|---|---|
| Negative (<0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. |
| Positive (>0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. |
| Zero (=0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
