Tolazoline
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tolazoline (Imidaline) is an α-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Tolazoline inhibits Noradrenaline (HY-13715)-induced cell contraction, modulates vascular resistance, increases arterial pressure, and reverses bradycardia and tachypnea. Tolazoline can be used to study erectile dysfunction, α2-adrenergic receptor agonist-related poisoning, and skin vascular disease research.

Biological Activity
α-adrenoceptor.
Tolazoline (1 μM; 30 s) inhibits the Noradrenaline (HY-13715)-induced contraction of isolated smooth muscle cells from human corpus cavernosum[3].
Tolazoline inhibits the specific binding of 3H-DHE to smooth muscle cells from human corpus cavernosum with a lower affinity (IC50 = 0.1 μM)[3].
Tolazoline (10 nM-1 mM) dose-dependently reduces vascular resistance in isolated porcine perfused skin flaps precontracted with Norepinephrine (EC50 = 0.288 μM)[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tolazoline (0.5 mg/kg; iv; injected into the femoral vein) causes an increase in arterial blood pressure in cats treated with Reserpine (HY-N0480) and anesthetized with Pentobarbitone sodium[6].
Tolazoline (2 mg/kg; i.v., once a week for 3 weeks) shortens the recumbency, head droop, reverses bradycardia and tachypnea in sheep treated with Xylazine[7].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (31.21 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (31.21 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
