Darifenacin (UK-88525) is a selective and orally active M3 muscarinic receptor (M3R) antagonist with a pKi of 8.9. Darifenacin binds >20-fold more specifically to M3R than to other muscarinic receptors. Darifenacin can be used in the study of urinary incontinence and other symptoms of overactive bladder. Darifenacin inhibits tumor growth in colorectal cancer cells and has anti-tumor effects.

Darifenacin purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Oncotarget. 2016 Apr 5;7(14):18085-94. [Abstract]

MACC1 is up-regulated by ACh through p-AMPK. A. ACh stimulates AMPK phosphorylation via M3R. B. Inhibition of AMPK activity by Dorsomorphin (8 μM) suppresses the induction of MACC1 expression by ACh. p-AMPK levels increase after ACh stimulation, and pretreatment of Darifenacin attenuates the ACh-induced increase of p-AMPK.

Stock Solution Working Solution

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 3

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

Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.86 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL. If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
