Cat. No.: HY-W004425 Purity: 99.66%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

DMPX (3,7-Dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine) is a selective A2A adenosine receptor (A2A AR) antagonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier, with a Ki of 11 μM for rat A2 adenosine receptor and a Ki of 45 μM for rat A1 adenosine receptor. By blocking A2A receptors in specific brain regions, DMPX protects dopaminergic and GABAergic neurons from mitochondrial dysfunction. DMPX is applicable to research related to depression, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.

By blocking A2A receptors in specific brain regions, DMPX protects dopaminergic and GABAergic neurons from mitochondrial dysfunction. DMPX is applicable to research related to depression, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease[1][2][3].

In Vivo

Co-administration of DMPX (3 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) with Agomelatine (HY-17038) or Tianeptine (HY-90003) produces synergistic antidepressant-like effects in mouse behavioral despair tests. These effects correlate with increased brain concentrations of the co-administered antidepressants, without altering spontaneous locomotor activity[1].
DMPX (0.032-10 mg/kg; 9.9 μmol/kg; i.p.; single administration) is a potent and selective in vivo A2 adenosine receptor antagonist. It is 57 times more potent at blocking NECA-induced hypothermia than CHA (HY-18939)-induced hypothermia, and 11 times more potent at blocking NECA (HY-103173)-induced motor inhibition than CHA-induced motor inhibition. In addition, its intrinsic motor stimulant potency (ED50 = 9.9 μmoL/kg) is slightly higher than that of caffeine[2].
DMPX (5 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) significantly attenuates the malonate-induced depletion of striatal dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). In rats, DMPX also completely blocks malonate-induced striatal GABA loss[3].

Dosage: 3 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose (30 minutes prior to tests/decapitation)

Dosage: 0.032, 0.1, 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10 mg/kg (blockade of hypothermia/locomotor depression); 9.9 μmol/kg (intrinsic locomotor stimulation)
Administration: i.p.; single dose; 15 minutes prior to agonist administration (blockade assays); i.p.; single dose (intrinsic stimulation assay)
Result: Antagonized NECA-induced hypothermia and motor inhibition.
Animal Model: Swiss-Webster (male, 30-35 gm) and Sprague-Dawley (male, 300-375 gm, intrastriatal malonate infusion induced)[3]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose; 30 min prior to malonate infusion
Result: Significantly alleviated the depletion of dopamine and TH in the striatum caused by succinic acid.
Completely blocked the loss of GABA in the striatum caused by succinic acid in rats.

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 4 mg/mL (18.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (40.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 4 mg/mL (18.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (40.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
