DMPX
Based on 1 Customer Validation
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.

A1AR 45 μM (Ki) |
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].

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: ≥ 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.
