S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide  (Synonyms: S-isopropyl ITU; IPTU)

Cat. No.: HY-101304 Purity: 98.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (S-isopropyl ITU; IPTU) is a blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant NOS inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.66, 0.75 and 0.29 μM against mouse spinal cord, cerebellar, bovine aortic and porcine endothelial cell NOS. S-Isopropylisothiourea exhibits a significant blood pressure-raising effect without damaging the perfusion of vital organs and can also inhibit the late-phase pain response induced by formalin. S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide is used in the researchs for hemorrhagic shock and pain response based on NOS.

Description

S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (S-isopropyl ITU; IPTU) is a blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant NOS inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.66, 0.75 and 0.29 μM against mouse spinal cord, cerebellar, bovine aortic and porcine endothelial cell NOS. S-Isopropylisothiourea exhibits a significant blood pressure-raising effect without damaging the perfusion of vital organs and can also inhibit the late-phase pain response induced by formalin. S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide is used in the researchs for hemorrhagic shock and pain response based on NOS[1][2].

In Vivo

S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (50 mg/kg, i.p., single dose) can pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach an effective concentration in the central nervous system, and achieves a potent and sustained blood-pressure-raising effect by inhibiting vascular eNOS in mice[1].
S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (10-50 mg/kg, i.p., single dose) exhibits selective analgesic effects at a dose of 50 mg/kg, specifically inhibiting pain in the late phase (15-30 min)[1].
S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (0.1 mg/kg, i.v., 3 doses) significantly increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and achieve a 100% survival rate in a rat model of severe hemorrhagic shock[2].
S-Isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide (0.3 mg/kg plus 1 mg/kg·h, i.v., maintain infusion for 120 min) significantly increases MAP to a normal level, without reducing cardiac output, and maintain perfusion of vital organs[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.56 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.56 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.

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.
