Product Description
Orexin A (Hypocretin-1) (human, rat, mouse) acetate is a hypothalamic neuropeptide with analgesic properties (crosses the BBB (blood-brain barrier)). Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate is also an OX1R agonist and can induce the expression of BDNF and TH proteins in SH-SY5Y cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate may be used in studies of appetite regulation, neurodegenerative diseases, and modulation of nociceptive messaging.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In SH-SY5Y human dopaminergic neuroblastoma cells, orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM; 24 h) stimulates the expression of BDNF in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Time-dependently, orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (1 nM; 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h) raises the expression of TH, PI3K, and BDNF in SH-SY5Y cells[1].
ln Vivo
Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (300 ng/mouse; icv; once daily for 8 days) normalizes the striatal dopaminergic fibers, inhibits the depletion of dopamine and its metabolites in the striatum, and attenuates the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the decrease of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the substantia nigra[1]. In both the PPQ-induced mice abdominal constriction paradigm and the carrageenan-induced heat hyperalgesia model, orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (10, 30 mg/kg; iv; single) has analgesic properties[2].
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: SH-SY5Y cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM
Incubation Duration: 24 h
Experimental Results: Increased the expression of PI3K and TH in a dose-dependent manner. Dramatically induced BDNF expression at the dose of 1 and 10 nM.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: SH-SY5Y cells
Tested Concentrations: 1 nM
Incubation Duration: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h
Experimental Results: demonstrated the expression of PI3K rapidly increased by 72.6 % as soon as 3 h, which maintained at high levels in the following 24 h. Increased the protein level of BDNF and the increased rate was 44.8%, and the protein level of TH Dramatically increased at 12 h by 48.5%.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice (10weeks old; 22-26 g; MPTP-Induced Mouse Model of PD)[1].

Experimental Results: Reversed MPTP-induced motor impairments via OX1R and increased the protein expression of BDNF in nigral dopaminergic neurons. Improved MPTP-induced impairments in spatial Learning and memory and protected dopaminergic neurons against MPTP- induced neurotoxicity. Attenuated the reduction of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and restored the reduction of dopaminergic fibers in the striatum.

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
