Flavoxate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Flavoxate (Rec-7-0040 free base; DW61 free base) is an orally active L-type Ca2+ channel inhibitor and antispasmodic. Flavoxate inhibits cyclic adenosine monophosphate production by blocking voltage-dependent inward Ba2+ currents, regulating the brainstem micturition center, and stimulating G protein-coupled receptors. Consequently, Flavoxate induces relaxation of bladder smooth muscle and inhibits isovolumetric rhythmic contractions. Flavoxate effectively increases bladder capacity and alleviates symptoms of urgent urination frequency and pollakiuria caused by overactive bladder. Flavoxate can be used in research on overactive bladder and related voiding dysfunctions.

Biological Activity
Flavoxate (100 nM-30 μM) causes concentration-dependent relaxation of K+-precontracted human detrusor muscle strips, with an IC50 of 2 μM[1].
Flavoxate (10-30 μM; 5 minutes) inhibits voltage-dependent, nifedipine-sensitive Ba2+ currents (L-type Ca2+ channel currents) in freshly isolated human detrusor myocytes in a voltage- and concentration-dependent manner, with a Ki value of 10 μM at a holding potential of -60 mV and 56 μM at a holding potential of -90 mV[1].
Flavoxate (1-30 μM; 22°C, 30°C, 37°C) inhibits voltage-dependent inward Ba2+ currents through L-type Ca2+ channels in human detrusor muscle cells in a concentration-dependent and temperature-sensitive manner, with enhanced efficacy at higher temperatures (Ki=10.3 μM at 22°C, Ki=5.1 μM at 30°C, Ki=4.6 μM at 37°C), and shifts the steady-state inactivation curve leftward at 30°C[2].
Flavoxate (10-8-10-5 M; 15 min) concentration-dependently inhibits cAMP production in membrane preparations from rat striatum and cerebral cortex via pertussis toxin-sensitive G1-coupled receptors; its inhibitory effect at 10-6 M is completely reversed by combined treatment with any two of adenosine A1, dopamine D2, or adrenergic α2 receptor antagonists[3].
Flavoxate (10-8-10-4 M) binds to rat adenosine A1, adrenergic α2, dopamine D2, and muscarinic M2 receptors with Ki values in the micromolar to submicromolar range, but shows negligible affinity for many other neurotransmitter receptors[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: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.11 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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.
