Product Description

Nepicastat HCl (SYN-117; SYN 117; RS-25560-197; RS 25560-197), the hydrochloride salt of Nepicastat, is a potent and selective inhibitor of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine) with the potential to treat CHF-congestive heart failure. It inhibits dopamine-β-hydroxylase with an IC50 of 8.5 nM and 9 nM, with little affinity for twelve other enzymes and thirteen neurotransmitter receptors. Nepicastat has been studied as a possible treatment for congestive heart failure, and appears to be well tolerated.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: In vitro, Nepicastat hydrochloride shows the selective and concentration-dependent inhibition effects on bovine and human dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity with IC50 of 8.5 nM and 9.0 nM, respectively. While Nepicastat hydrochloride has negligible affinity for twelve other enzymes and thirteen neurotransmitter receptors.

ln Vivo
In the artery (mesenteric or renal), left ventricle, nepicastat hydrochloride (SYN-117 hydrochloride) (3-100 mg/kg; po; three consecutive times, 12 hours apart times) causes dose-dependent decreases in noradrenaline content, increases in dopamine content, and increases in dopamine/noradrenaline ratio[3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 15-16 weeks male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs)[3]
Doses: 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral administration; three consecutive times, 12 hrs (hours) apart
Experimental Results: Produced dose-dependent decreases in noradrenaline content, increases in dopamine content and increases in dopamine/noradrenaline ratio in the artery (mesenteric or renal), left ventricular and cerebral cortex.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 66 mg/mL (198.9 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:<1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.6 mg/mL (1.81 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 6.0 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: ≥ 0.6 mg/mL (1.81 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 6.0 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.

*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
