In Vitro

Mepenzolate not only exerts an anti-inflammatory effect via a muscarinic receptor-independent mechanism, but also a bronchodilatory effect via a muscarinic receptor-dependent mechanism. Mepenzolate is a subtype-non-specific muscarinic antagonist whose bronchodilatory effect and inhibitory effect on intestinal motility can be explained by its antagonistic action on M3R[1].

In Vivo

Mepenzolate bromide, a GPR109A receptor blocker, abolishes the beneficial effects of niacin on body weight, colon wet weight as well as colonic levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and VEGF[2].
Mepenzolate bromide is a muscarinic antagonist. Intratracheal administration or inhalation of Mepenzolate bromide decreases the severity of elastase-induced airspace enlargement and respiratory dysfunction. Mepenzolate bromide may be an effective therapeutic for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to its anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities[3].

Animal Model: Adult male Wistar rats, weighing 150-200 g[2]
Dosage: 5  mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection
Result: Abolished the protective effect of niacin against iodoacetamide-induced rise in colon wet weight as well as the colonic levels of both MPO and VEGF.
Animal Model: ICR mice (4-6 weeks old, male) and DBA/2 mice (5 weeks old, female)[3]
Dosage: 0.04, 0.38, 3.8, 38 μg/kg; 45.2 and 226 μg per chamber
Administration: "0.04, 0.38, 3.8, 38 μg/kg administered intratracheally once daily for 14 days
45.2 and 226 μg per chamber by inhalation once daily for 14 days"
Result: The simultaneous daily intratracheal administration suppressed this enlargement in a dose-dependent manner.
The inhalation route was similar to those observed with the intratracheal mode of administration.

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 (4.95 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.95 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.

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.
