In Vivo

In conscious dogs, water-loaded with 30 mL/kg (po) and arginine vasopressin (AVP)-treated (0.4 μg/kg in oil, sc), lixivaptan (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg po) increases Uvol over the AVP-treated vehicle group by 438, 1018, and 1133%, respectively, while Uosm decreases from 1222 mOsm/kg (water-loaded and AVP treated vehicle) to 307, 221, and 175 mOsm/kg, respectively. In homozygous Brattleboro rats lacking AVP, lixivaptan at 10 mg/kg po (i.e., 10 times the dose producing V2 antagonist activity) b.i.d. for 5 days, shows a sustained antagonist action without evidence of agonist effects. In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled ascending single dose study, patients (deprived of fluids overnight before dosing) are dosed orally with 30, 75, or 150 mg of lixivaptan. All three doses increase urine flow and serum sodium concentrations and produced significant dose-related decreases in urinary osmolality[1]. Phase II clinical trials in patients with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis with ascites or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone have demonstrated that lixivaptan increases water clearance without affecting renal sodium excretion or activating the neurohormonal system[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.39 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.39 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
