Uridine 5'-diphosphate sodium salt
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) sodium salt is an important nucleotide made of uracil, ribose, and a pyrophosphate group. Uridine-5'-diphosphate sodium salt is a potent, selective human P2Y6 receptor native agonist (EC50 = 300 nM; pEC50 = 6.52). Uridine-5'-diphosphate sodium salt, an endogenous metabolite, catalyzes the glucuronidation of a wide array of substrates and is used in nucleic acid (RNA) biosynthesis.

Uridine-5'-diphosphate (100 μM; 15 min) sodium salt significantly induces microglial CCL2 and CCL3 mRNA expression[2].
Uridine-5'-diphosphate (100 μM; 3 h) sodium salt induces chemokine expression in microglia[2].
Uridine-5'-diphosphate (100 μM; 0.5-12 h) induces expression of mRNA encoding CCL2 and CCL3 within 30 min, and such expression reaches maximal levels at 1 h, returning to basal levels at 3-12 h[2].
Uridine-5'-diphosphate (10-1000 μM; 3 h) induces a concentration-dependent increase in the expression of chemokines at both the mRNA and protein level[2].
Uridine-5'-diphosphate (10-1000 μM; 3 h) induces activation of NFATc1 and NFATc2 in microglia[2].

UDP (Uridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt) agonism elicited distinct signaling responses, enhancing CaMKII, p-PKC, and SOD2, while suppressing Nrf2 and HO-1, without altering p62, VPS34, LC3B, AMPKα, or mTOR. In contrast, MRS treatment selectively increased HO-1 phosphorylation, while leaving other pathways unaffected.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 33.33 mg/mL (Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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; 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; 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.
