Description

Tolbutamide is an orally active KATP inhibitor. Tolbutamide inhibits cell proliferation, stimulates exocytosis of glucagon and reduces fetal lethality of mice. Tolbutamide can be used in the research of diabete[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Tolbutamide (400 μM, 24h) with dbcAMP reduces glioma cell proliferation by increasing connexin43 (Cx43)[1].
Tolbutamide (0.1 μM, 1 min) stimulates exocytosis by activation of a mitochondrial­like KATP channel in rat A-cells[2].

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

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Glioma cell
Concentration: 400 μM
Incubation Time: 24h
Result: Increasing the level of Cx43.
In Vivo

Tolbutamide (125 mg/kg, Supplemented in daily diet for 27 weeks) reduces the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the non-obese-diabetic mouse[3].
Tolbutamide (100-400 mg/kg, Intraperitoneal injection, 400 mg/kg on day 13; 100 mg/kg on day 10-13; combined treatment: 100 mg/kg on day 10-12 and 400 mg/kg on day 13) reduces fetal lethality in pregnant mice[4].

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

Animal Model: Non-obese-diabetic mouse [3]
Dosage: 125 mg/kg
Administration: Supplemented in daily diet for 27 weeks
Result: Showed 10 of 23 animals developed diabetes compared with 18 of 24 in the control groups.
Animal Model: Pregnant mice [4]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result: Showed a significant reduction (50 %) in the frequency of living fetuses for the group of 400 mg/kg on day 13.
Had significantly fewer petechiae and more late resorptions for the group of 400 mg/kg on day 13.

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 (7.69 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 (7.69 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.

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.
