CTAP
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
CTAP is a potent, highly selective, and BBB penetrant μ opioid receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 3.5 nM. CTAP displays over 1200-fold selectivity over δ opioid (IC50=4500 nM) and somatostatin receptors. CTAP can be used for the study of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) and opiate overdose or addiction.

In Vivo
CTAP (10 mg/kg; IP, single) has no effect on L-DOPA-induced limb, axial, orolingual, or locomotor abnormal involuntary movements[1].
CTAP is stable in the blood and serum of rats (T1/2 > 500 min), showing that the structure of this peptide offers enzymatic resistance[2].
CTAP is extensively protein-bound to albumin in the perfusion medium (68.2%) and to proteins in rat serum (84.2%)[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (90.56 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 1.67 mg/mL (1.51 mM; Need ultrasonic)
* "≥" 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, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* 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.
