Tetramisole hydrochloride  (Synonyms: (±)-Tetramisole hydrochloride; DL-Tetramisole hydrochloride; R-829)

Cat. No.: HY-B1194 Purity: 99.93%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Tetramisole hydrochloride is an orally active, selective inward rectifier potassium channel agonist with an EC50 of approximately 30 μM for the Kir2.1 subunit. Tetramisole hydrochloride is also an anti-nematode agent that blocks neuromuscular transmission by non-competitive depolarization. Tetramisole hydrochloride promotes the forward transport of Kir2.1 channels, hyperpolarizes the resting potential (RP), shortens the action potential duration (APD), inhibits intracellular calcium overload and the PKA signaling pathway, and exerts anti-arrhythmic and anti-myocardial remodeling activities. Tetramisole hydrochloride can be used in cardiac electrophysiology research and research related to myocardial ischemia and heart failure.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description

Tetramisole hydrochloride is an orally active, selective inward rectifier potassium channel agonist with an EC50 of approximately 30 μM for the Kir2.1 subunit. Tetramisole hydrochloride is also an anti-nematode agent that blocks neuromuscular transmission by non-competitive depolarization. Tetramisole hydrochloride promotes the forward transport of Kir2.1 channels, hyperpolarizes the resting potential (RP), shortens the action potential duration (APD), inhibits intracellular calcium overload and the PKA signaling pathway, and exerts anti-arrhythmic and anti-myocardial remodeling activities. Tetramisole hydrochloride can be used in cardiac electrophysiology research and research related to myocardial ischemia and heart failure[1][2].

In Vitro

Tetramisole (1-100 μM) enhances the inward rectifier potassium current in rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs) in a concentration-dependent manner in whole-cell patch clamp experiments, hyperpolarizes the resting potential (RP) and shortens the action potential duration (APD90), but has no significant effect on other ion channels such as L-type calcium current (ICa-L) and sodium current (INa)[1].
Tetramisole (10-30 μM; 24 h) significantly inhibits isoproterenol (Iso)-induced intracellular calcium overload in H9c2(2-1) cardiomyocyte calcium imaging experiments, an effect that can be reversed by the IK1 channel blocker BaCl2[1].
Tetramisole (30 μM; 48 h) can upregulate the expression level of Kir2.1 in H9c2(2-1) cells[1].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: H9c2(2-1) cardiomyocytes
Concentration: 1, 10, 30, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Upregulated the expression of Kir2.1 channel and its regulatory protein SAP97 in a dose-dependent manner, with the maximum effect at 30 μmol/L (56.6% increase in Kir2.1 and 57.2% increase in SAP97 compared to control).
Reversed Iso-induced downregulation of Kir2.1 and inhibited phosphorylation of protein kinase A (p-PKA), effects that were blunted by BaCl2.
In Vivo

Tetramisole (0.54 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose; 3 minutes pretreatment) significantly reduces the number and duration of ventricular arrhythmias and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation in the Sprague-Dawley rat model of myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation, and this effect is reversed by the IK1 channel blocker chloroquine (CQ)[2].
Tetramisole (0.54 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once a day; 10 days) improves cardiac contractile function, reduces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis, and inhibits the activation of the PKA signaling pathway in the Sprague-Dawley rat model of isoproterenol (Iso)-induced cardiac remodeling, and the effect is dependent on the IK1 channel activity[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (2 months old, weight not specified) + coronary ligation-induced acute myocardial infarction model[2]
Dosage: 0.18, 0.54, 1.8 mg/kg (dissolved in saline)
Administration: Intravenous injection 3 minutes before coronary artery occlusion; single dose
Result: Significantly reduced premature ventricular contractions (PVC) from 134 to 16 episodes, shortened ventricular tachycardia (VT) duration from 59.4 s to 8.1 s, and eliminated ventricular fibrillation (VF) (duration 0 s, incidence 0%), compared to control.
These anti-arrhythmic effects were largely reversed by co-administration of chloroquine (7.5 μg/kg), an IK1 antagonist.
Pretreatment for 10 days (0.54 mg/kg/day) also reduced VT duration (42.7 s to 6.5 s) and abolished VF, associated with upregulated Kir2.1 protein expression in ventricular tissue.
Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (2 months old, weight not specified) + isoproterenol (3 mg/kg/day, i.p., 10 days)-induced cardiac remodeling model[2]
Dosage: 0.54 mg/kg/day (dissolved in saline)
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection once daily for 10 days
Result: Prevented Iso-induced increases in interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular wall thickness, normalized left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS), and reduced myocardial cell cross-sectional area by 22% compared to Iso group.
Masson's trichrome staining showed a 35% reduction in interstitial fibrosis, accompanied by downregulated phosphorylated PKA (p-PKA) and upregulated Kir2.1/SAP97 signaling.
Co-administration of chloroquine abolished these protective effects, confirming dependence on IK1 channel activation.

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: ≥ 1 mg/mL (4.15 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 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

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.
