Product Description

EMPA is a high-affinity, reversible and specific orexin OX2 receptor antagonist. It binds to OX2-HEK293 membranes in rats and humans with KD values of 1.1 and 1.4 nM respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
human OX2 receptor ( Kd = 1.1 nM ); rat OX2 receptor ( Kd = 1.4 nM )
ln Vitro
EMPA competitively opposes the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates (IP) at hOX2 receptors that is induced by orexin A and orexin B with pA2 values of 8.6 and 8.8 respectively[1].
EMPA removes the [3H]EMPA binding from rat and human OX2 receptor-containing cell membranes, with Ki values of 1.45±0.13 nM and 1.10±0.24 nM, respectively[1].
EMPA binds to human and mouse V1a receptors with IC50 values of 5.75 µM, Ki=2.63 µM, and IC50 values of 12.8 µM, Ki=5.8 µM, respectively[1].
EMPA inhibits the [Ca2+]i response evoked by orexin-A or orexin-B in CHO(dHFr-) cells that are stably expressing hOX2 receptors, with IC50 values of 8.8±1.7 nM and 7.9±1.7 nM, respectively[1].
ln Vivo
EMPA (1-300 mg/kg; i.p.) dose-dependently reverses this [Ala11,D-Leu15]orexin-B-induced hyperlocomotion without substantially altering locomotor activity (LMA) in male NMRI mice[1].
EMPA (3-30 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly and dose-dependently lowers the baseline LMA in both female and male Wistar rats. EMPA (3-30 mg/kg; i.p.) shows a definite dose-dependent suppression of spontaneous activity in contrast to animals given a vehicle treatment[1].
Animal Protocol
Male NMRI mice (20-30 g)
1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg
Injected i.p. at a volume of 10 mL/kg

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 50~91 mg/mL (110.0~200.2 mM)
Ethanol: ~23 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.


 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.2000 mL 11.0001 mL 22.0003 mL
5 mM 0.4400 mL 2.2000 mL 4.4001 mL
10 mM 0.2200 mL 1.1000 mL 2.2000 mL

*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
