Dantrolene is an orally active, non-competitive glutathione reductase inhibitor with a Ki of 111.6 μM and an IC50 of 52.3 μM. Dantrolene is a ryanodine receptor (RyR) antagonist and Ca2+ signaling stabilizer. Dantrolene is a direct-acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Dantrolene can be used for the research of muscle spasticity, malignant hyperthermia, Huntington's disease and other neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Description

Dantrolene is an orally active, non-competitive glutathione reductase inhibitor with a Ki of 111.6 μM and an IC50 of 52.3 μM. Dantrolene is a ryanodine receptor (RyR) antagonist and Ca2+ signaling stabilizer. Dantrolene is a direct-acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Dantrolene can be used for the research of muscle spasticity, malignant hyperthermia, Huntington's disease and other neuroleptic malignant syndrome[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Dantrolene (60 μM; at 1 and 3 days) significantly inhibits ACTA2 expression and upregulats RUNX2 expression in paVICs[2].
Dantrolene (60 μM; overnight pretreatment) inhibits LPC-induced calcium flux in porcine aortic valve interstitial cells[2].
Dantrolene (10, 30, 60 μM) inhibited calcific nodule formation of paVICs due to 10 μM lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

RT-PCR[2]

Cell Line: Porcine aortic valvular interstitial cells (paVICs)
Concentration: 60 μM
Incubation Time: At 1 and 3 days
Result: Significantly inhibited ACTA2 expression and upregulated RUNX2 expression.
In Vivo

Dantrolene (5 mg/kg; fed orally twice per week) improves performance in the beam-walking and gait-walking assay[3].
Dantrolene (10 mg/kg; IP; three days per week; for 40-60 days) significantly improves gait, reduces LC3-II levels, improves mitochondrial ATP production and reduced inflammation in the brain. Dantrolene partially reduces autophagy and the expression of CALM (calmodulin) in the brain of neuronopathic Gaucher disease mice[4].

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.
