Dobutamine is a synthetic catecholamine that acts on α1-AR, β1-AR, β2-AR (α-1, β-1 andβ-2 adrenoceptors). Dobutamine is a selective β1-AR agonist, relatively weak activity at α1-AR and β2-AR. Dobutamine can increase cardiac output and correct hypoperfusion.

In Vivo

Dobutamine has a rapid onset of action and a short half-life [2].
Dobutamine (0.15-20 mg/kg; i.p.) results in subsequent increase in the left ventricular function and heart rate acceleration with an increasing dose in wildtype mice[3].
Dobutamine results in significant inotropic, lusitropic, and chronotropic cardiac response with a high dose in wildtype mice[3].
Low doses of Dobutamine significantly increases inotropic and lusitropic cardiac performance without chronotropic changes in the Tgαq*44 mice[3].
Dobutamine increases heart rate only after high doses, but then inotropic and lusitropic cardiac functional reserve is lost[3].
Dobutamine increases alveolar liquid clearance in ventilated rats by beta-2 receptor stimulation[4].

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

Animal Model: Tgαq*44 mice (heart failure models)[3]
Dosage: 0.15 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg as a low dose, 1.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg as a high dose
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection
Result: Induced different response in cardiac function on a low and high dose in mice with with heart failure.

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (16.59 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (16.59 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.

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.
