Product Description
Guanoxabenz is an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist (activator) with Ki of 4000 nM and Ki of α2A of 40 nM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Numerous guanixaben N-hydroxyguanidine analogues and a variety of metabolic inhibitors, such as allopurinol, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 5, 59-Dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), cibacron blue, phenyl-p-benzoquinone, didox, and trimidox, appear to inhibit the formation of high-affinity guanixabenzene conjugates. Preincubating the membrane with guanoxabenz's LW03 N-hydroxyguanidine analog inhibits the establishment of high-affinity binding in a time- and concentration-dependent way [1]. The conversion of guanobendazole to guanobenzene is mediated by the splenic cytosolic fraction. Guanobenzene has a nearly 100-fold greater affinity for rat α2A-adrenergic receptors than does guanobenzene itself [2].
ln Vivo
Both guanifaben and guanidine are known as centrally active antihypertensive medications. High-affinity guanizoxen binding is induced in rat meninges after administration of NADH or NADPH cofactors. The rat cerebral cortex has an enzyme activity that may activate guanidoxybenzenes leading to the production of metabolites with high affinity for α2-adrenergic receptors [3]. Guanixaben (0.1-3 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) generates a dose-related reduction in locomotor activity; the dose of 1 mg/kg was chosen since it causes a considerable and sustained reduction in behavioral activity [4].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Rat[4].
Doses: 0.5 mg/kg (RX 781094 or saline vehicle) intravenously (iv) (iv)(iv) (tail vein) at peak agonist effect (20 minutes for clonidine, 30 minutes for guazobenza). Mode of
Route of Administration: IP.
Experimental Results: RX 781094 (0.1- 1.0 mg/kg, i.v.) produces rapid (< 5 groups) and complete antagonism of clonidine- and guanoxaben-induced EEG and behavioral effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Guanoxabenz is a known human metabolite of guanabenz.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 4.0473 mL 20.2364 mL 40.4727 mL
5 mM 0.8095 mL 4.0473 mL 8.0945 mL
10 mM 0.4047 mL 2.0236 mL 4.0473 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
