Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Levetiracetam, an antiepileptic agent, binds the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A. Levetiracetam enhances Temozolomide effect on glioblastoma stem cell proliferation and apoptosis. Levetiracetam modulates HDAC levels ultimately silencing MGMT, thus increasing Temozolomide effectiveness. A chemosensitizer agent.

Biological Activity
M2 mAChR[1]
Levetiracetam increases the transcription of HDACs and recruits corepressor complex on O6-Methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, thus silencing its activity[1].
Levetiracetam sensitizes (40 μg/mL) glioblastoma multiforme stem-like cells (GSCs) to Temozolomide (250 μM) treatment[1].
MGMT expression is downregulated in GCSCs treated with Levetiracetam (40 μg/mL)[1]

-
Cell Line:GCSC neurospheres
-
Concentration:40 μg/mL
-
Incubation Time:48 hours
-
Result:Slight antitumor effect exerted by the treatment with Temozolomide (250 µM) or Levetiracetam (40 μg/mL) alone was strongly enhanced when Temozolomide and Levetiracetam were added in combination.
-
Cell Line:Glioblastoma multiforme stem-like cells (GSCs)
-
Concentration:40 μg/mL
-
Incubation Time:48 hours
-
Result:A high level of MGMT expression in untreated GCSCs; this expression was slightly decreased after treatment with Temozolomide (250 µM) and Levetiracetam singularly but it was dramatically decreased after the combined treatment with Temozolomide and Levetiracetam.

Animal Model:Male Long-Evans rats[2]
-
Dosage:10, 25, or 50 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection 60 min before hypoxia.
-
Result:Treatment resulted in a significant decrease in hypoxic seizure (HS) duration at 25 mg/kg and at 50 mg/kg. Anticonvulsant activity was maximal at 50 mg/kg, at which HSs were reduced by 63.6%.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : ≥ 85 mg/mL (499.38 mM)
DMSO : ≥ 85 mg/mL (499.38 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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 (14.69 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.69 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.
