Product Description

Donepezil Hydrochloride (E2020; Aricept; E-2020), the hydrochloride salt of Donepezil, is a noncompetitive, specific and potent AChE inhibitor for bAChE and hAChE with antiAlzheimer's disease (AD) effects. It inhibits bAChE and hAChE with IC50s of 8.12 nM and 11.6 nM , respectively. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme possibly involved in cognitive dysfunction of patients suffering Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The phosphorylation of tau and glycogen synthase is reduced and that of Akt and GSK-3β is enhanced in the neuroprotective mechanism of donepezil hydrochloride [2].
ln Vivo
In mice, scopolamine-induced memory impairment was significantly halted from progressing by donepezil treatment (3 mg/kg) [3]. According to pharmacokinetic studies, the mean peak plasma concentrations of donepezil hydrochloride were measured to be 3.6% absolute bioavailability, and they occurred roughly 1.2 and 1.4 hours after oral administration (3 and 10 mg/kg), respectively [3].
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: Cortical neuronal cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: demonstrated Dramatically increased cell viability (maximized 89.2±2.1% in MTT, 96.3±5.5% in TBS, and 95.1±3.2% in CCK-8).

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: Cortical neuronal cells
Tested Concentrations: 10 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) before 20 μM Aβ42 exposure for 6 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Effects of Donepezil on Akt and the GSK-3 signaling pathway were statistically significant in the presence of Aβ42 toxicity.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male imprinting control region (ICR) mice (6 weeks old)[3]
Doses: 3-10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Administered orally
Experimental Results: Pretreatment with 3–10 mg/kg ameliorated scopolamine-induced memory impairment.

Animal/Disease Models: Hairless rats with an average weight of 300 g[3]
Doses: 3 and 10 mg/kg (pharmacokinetic/PK Analysis)
Route of Administration: Administered po (oral gavage) and blood (250 μL) was collected through the tail vein
Experimental Results: After oral treatment (3 and 10 mg/kg), a maximum concentration (Cmax) was reached after approximately 1.2 ± 0.4 h and 1.4 ± 0.5 h, respectively, and gradually diminished.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
