Ranitidine
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ranitidine is a potent, selective and orally active histamine H2-receptor antagonist that inhibits gastric secretion. Ranitidine antagonizes Histamine (HY-B1204)-induced increases of the guinea-pig isolated rat atrium and Histamine-induced relaxations of the rat isolated uterine horn, with pA2 values of 7.2 and 6.95, respectively. Ranitidine inhibits breast tumor development and spread in mice.

H2 Receptor |
Ranitidine (8 mg/kg; oral administration; administered every other day; treatment for 8 days) reduces the number of CD11b+Ly6Chi cells in the spleen and bone marrow of BALB/c mice[2].
Ranitidine (8 mg/kg; oral administration; administered every other day; treatment for 8 days) inhibits lung metastasis in BALB/c mice bearing 4T1 breast cancer[2].
Ranitidine (8 mg/kg; oral administration; administered every other day; for 14 days) inhibits primary tumor growth in the E0771 breast cancer model of C57BL/6 mice[2].
Ranitidine (dose enabling mice to ingest 6-8 mg/kg per day; added to drinking water; changed every 3 days; treatment starting from weaning (~4 weeks) until the end of the experiment (23-26 weeks)) increases the latency of breast tumorigenesis and reduces the number of tumors in LKB1-/-NIC mice[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

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 (7.95 mM); Clear solution
