Description

5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) is a nonselective adenosine receptor agonist.

IC50 & Target

Adenosine receptor[1]

In Vivo

After the administration of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), the mean number of cocaine infusions obtained per session is decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner [5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA): F(4,12)=14.9; P<0.001]. The administration of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) [F(4,12)=16.1; P<0.001] results in a significant increase in latencies above values obtained for vehicle treatment[1]. Daily i.p. injection of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) at 0.3 mg/kg/day for two weeks reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats. Daily treatment with NECA (0.3 mg/kg/day, i.p. for two weeks) reduces diabetes-induced gene expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-18 in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats. Daily i.p. injection of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) at 0.3 mg/kg/day for two weeks also blocks the activation of JNK MAPK in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.

Animal Administration
[1]

Male Wistar rats are used in this experiment. These animals range in weight between 350 and 425 g. They are housed individually in hanging wire cages under a 12-h light/dark cycle. The effects of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) are tested in four rats. In the experiment, either 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) (5, 7.5, 10, 20 μg/kg) or vehicle (saline) is administered intraperitoneally 15 min prior to the start of test sessions. 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) is administered following a random order crossover design. In most cases, animals are tested twice with the same dose[1].

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.
