Doxapram
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Doxapram is a respiratory stimulant. Doxapram increases breathing rate and depth by acting on the brain's respiratory centers and peripheral chemoreceptors. Doxapram inhibits TASK-1, TASK-3, TASK-1/TASK-3 heterodimeric channel function with EC50s of 410 nM, 37 μM, 9 μM, respectively. Doxapram inhibits the Ca²⁺-activated potassium current (IC50 ≈ 13 μM) and Ca²⁺-independent potassium current (IC50 ≈ 20 μM) in type I cells of the carotid body. Doxapram significantly prolongs the effective refractory period of the atrium and has an anti-arrhythmic effect. Doxapram can be used for the study of respiratory depression such as post-anesthesia respiratory depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and apnea of prematurity.

Biological Activity
Doxapram (0.01-100 μM, 10-30 min) inhibits human and porcine TASK-1 with IC50s of 0.88 and 0.93 μM in human and porcine atrial muscle cells[6].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Doxapram (> 1 mg/kg, i.v.) stimulates the brainstem respiratory center rather than the peripheral chemoreceptors in dogs[4].
Doxapram (1-2 mg/kg, i.v., single dose or once daily for 14 days) has a specific anti-arrhythmic effect on the atrium in domestic pigs[6].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Acute atrial fibrillation and persistent atrial fibrillation models established in domestic pigs[6]
-
Dosage:1 and 2 mg/kg (single dose) and 2 mg/kg (continuous administration)
-
Administration:Intravenous injection (i.v.), single dose or once daily for 14 days
-
Result:Prolonged the effective refractory period of the atrium (AERP), but has no effect on ventricular repolarization.
Reversed the electrical remodeling associated with AF (increased TASK-1 current and shortened APD) in long-term treatment.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.60 mM); Clear solution
