Flavoxate is an anticholinergic (AChR) agent that binds and inhibits muscarinic receptors, thereby suppressing the micturition reflex and increases urinary bladder capacity by modifying the micturition center in the brain stem.As an anticholinergic,Flavoxatehas the potential to be used in various urinary syndromes and as an antispasmodic. Flavoxate (3 mg/kg, i.v.) completely abolished rhythmic bladder contractions in vehicle-pretreated rats, but not in PTX-pretreated rats. These findings suggest that signal transduction via Gi-coupled receptors is involved, at least in part, in the inhibition of the micturition reflex by flavoxate in rats.

In vitro activity :Flavoxate is an anticholinergic agent that binds and inhibits muscarinic receptors, thereby suppressing the micturition reflex and increases urinary bladder capacity by modifying the micturition center in the brain stem.As an anticholinergic,Flavoxatehas the potential to be used in various urinary syndromes and as an antispasmodic. Flavoxate (3 mg/kg, i.v.) completely abolished rhythmic bladder contractions in vehicle-pretreated rats, but not in PTX-pretreated rats. These findings suggest that signal transduction via Gi-coupled receptors is involved, at least in part, in the inhibition of the micturition reflex by flavoxate in rats.Cell Assay:Flavoxate (>10 μM) suppresses carbachol-induced contractions in isolated rat detrusor strips with pD value of 4.55. Flavoxate (>10 μM) suppresses Ca2+-induced contractions in isolated rat detrusor strips with pIC50 value of 4.92. Flavoxate (0.01 μM -10 μM) inhibits CAMP formation in a concentration-dependent manner in membranes from the rat striatum and cerebral cortex, an action which is completely abolished by pretreating the membranes with pertussis toxin (PTX).

ln Vivo |
Flavoxate (10mg/kg) suppresses both the an initial, rapidly rising phasic contraction (phase 1) and the tonic contraction (phase 2) contractions to the same extent in rats. Flavoxate (10mg/kg) abolishes the bladder contractions without causing any change in the amplitude of the contractions in rats. Flavoxate (3 mg/kg) abolishes the efferent neural activity and the associated bladder contractions for about 10 minutes without changing the baseline vesical pressure in rats. ICV-injected (50 to 200 μg/rat) or IT-injected (100 to 200 μg/rat) Flavoxate abolishes rhythmic bladder contractions during and after injection for five to 15 minutes in a dose-dependent manner in rats [2]. Flavoxate (3 mg/kg, i.v.) abolishes rhythmic bladder contractions and the maximal intervals of voiding contractions is 7.20 min

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] Oral Formulations
Oral Formulation 1: Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) Oral Formulation 2: Suspend in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Example: Take the Oral Formulation 1 (Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na) as an example, if 100 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can first prepare 0.5% CMC Na solution by measuring 0.5 g CMC Na and dissolve it in 100 mL ddH2O to obtain a clear solution; then add 250 mg of the product to 100 mL 0.5% CMC Na solution, to make the suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.

Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
