Description

Alvimopan (ADL 8-2698) is a potent, selective, orally active and reversible μ-opioid receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 1.7 nM. Alvimopan has selectivity for μ-opioid receptor (Ki=0.47 nM) over κ- and δ-opioid receptors (Kis=100, 12 nM, respectively). Alvimopan can be used for the research of postoperative ileus[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 1.7 nM (μ-opioid receptor)[1]
In Vitro

Alvimopan inhibits the loperamide-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes containing the cloned human μ-opioid receptor, with an IC50 value of 1.7 nM[1].

In Vivo

Alvimopan (0.1-1.0 mg/kg; p.o.) partially antagonizes the slowing of small intestinal transit of 113Sn-labelled microspheres produced by morphine in rats[3].
Alvimopan (3 mg/kg; p.o.) has no effect on the visceromotor behavioural responses (VMR) induced by noxious colorectal distension (CRD) in conscious rats[3].

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 (5.89 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 (5.89 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.

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.
