Sulfoxaflor
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sulfoxaflor is an orally active full agonist of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), targeting the α-bungarotoxin-insensitive nAChR1 and nAChR2 subtypes. Sulfoxaflor binding to nACh is not inhibited by d-Tubocurarine (HY-125901), but is partially inhibited by Mecamylamine (HY-B1395A). Sulfoxaflor induces inward currents by activating nAChRs, leading to insect neurotoxicity. Sulfoxaflor can be used in the research of agricultural pest control, pesticide toxicology, insect neural receptor pharmacology, etc.

Biological Activity
Sulfoxaflor (1 mM; 300 ms) fully activates α-Bgt-insensitive nAChRs expressed on cockroach DUM neurons, evokes inward currents with an EC50=153.7±10.2 μM[1].
5 μM Mecamylamine (HY-B1395A) inhibits the current by 60%, while 20 μM d-Tubocurarine (HY-125901) has no blocking effect[1].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (180.33 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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 (9.02 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 (9.02 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.
