Mecamylamine hydrochloride can across the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine hydrochloride can be used in the research of neuropsychiatric disorders, hypertension, antidepressant area[1][2][5].

IC50 & Target

nAChR[1], histamine receptor[2]

In Vitro

Mecamylamine hydrochloride (0.5-9 μM, bath administered) increases the firing frequency of identified 5-HT DRN (dorsal raphe nucleus) neurons[1].
Mecamylamine hydrochloride (0.5-9 μM, bath administered) increases the glutamatergic and decreases the GABAergic input of 5-HT DRN neurons[1].
Mecamylamine hydrochloride (1 mM, 5 min) blocks the histamine receptor and the histamine-induced contractions in helically cut strips of rabbit aorta[2].
Mecamylamine hydrochloride (1-100 nM, 30 min) dose-dependently attenuates endothelial tube formation in HDMVECs[4].

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: SCG neurons
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Reduced the nicotine-facilitated increase in ERK1/2.
In Vivo

Mecamylamine hydrochloride (subcutaneous pumps, 50 mg/kg/day, 2 days) inhibits Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in CNV mice model[4].
Mecamylamine hydrochloride (intraperitoneal injection, 0.5-1 mg/kg) has antidepressant-like effects in both the TST (tail suspension test) and FST (forced swim test) in C57BL/6J mice, which are dependent on both β2 and α7 subunits[5].

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

Animal Model: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mice model[1]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg/day, 2 days

Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice[5]
Dosage: 0.5-1 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection
Result: Had no effect in β2 knockout mice and α7 knockout mice, but decreased immobility time in wildtype littermates in the FST.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

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.
