Product Description

Exenatide acetate (Exendin-4 Acetate), a bioactive peptide composed of 39 amino acids, is antidiabetic medication acting as a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist with an IC50 of 3.22 nM. Exenatide, a synthetic version of endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1, suppresses hunger, inhibits the release of glucagon, increases insulin secretion, and slows stomach emptying. It is therefore utilized as supplemental therapy for diabetes mellitus.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ( IC50 = 3.22 nM )
ln Vitro
Exendin-4 dramatically and dose-dependently raises NO production, phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells[2]. MCF-7 breast cancer cells exhibit cytotoxic effects from exendin-4, with an IC50 of 5 μM after 48 hours[3].
ln Vivo
Exendin-4 treatment, at both low and high doses, improves serum ALT and lowers serum glucose levels in ob/ob mice as well as computes HOMA scores in comparison to control. In the last four weeks of the study, the net weight gain of the ob/ob mice treated with extendin-4 is significantly reduced[4]. The Exendin-4-treated animals weigh a great deal less than the control rats and exhibit increased pyknotic nuclei and pancreatic acinar inflammation. Rats treated with extendin-4 have lower HOMA values and lower levels of leptin[5]. The rat thoracic aorta relaxes in response to exenatide in a dose-dependent manner. This relaxation is mediated primarily by H2S but also by NO and CO, and it is evoked through the GLP-1 receptor[6].
Animal Protocol
Rats: 20 Sprague-Dawley male rats, ten of which are treated with exendin-4 (10 μg/kg) and ten of which are used as controls. There are 75 days in the study period. Pancreatic tissue and serum are extracted for histological and biochemical analysis. The two groups' levels of blood glucose, lipase, amylase, and adipocytokines are compared[5].
Mice: For the first 14 days, 10 μg/kg is administered to the exendin-4 treatment groups every 24 hours. This therapy is the initiating stage. Every 24 hours, the corresponding control mice (lean and ob/ob) are given saline. Exendin-4-treated mice are split into two groups at random after 14 days: the first group is given a high dose of exendin-4 (20 μg/kg) every 12 hours, while the second group is given a low dose of exendin-4 (10 μg/kg) every 12 hours. Every twelve hours, saline is still given to the control mice. Every day for the duration of the 60-day treatment, the mice are weighed[4].

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
