Apafant (WEB 2086) is a potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, inhibits PAF binding to human PAF receptors with a Ki of 9.9 nM. Apafant increases the gene expression of PAF-r, α-globin, β-globin, decreases the c-myb gene expression. Apafant shows a protective effect on alkyl-PAF-mediated lethalit.

Description

Apafant (WEB 2086) is a potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, inhibits PAF binding to human PAF receptors with a Ki of 9.9 nM. Apafant increases the gene expression of PAF-r, α-globin, β-globin, decreases the c-myb gene expression. Apafant shows a protective effect on alkyl-PAF-mediated lethalit[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Ki: 9.9 nM (Platelet-activating factor)[1]

In Vitro

Apafant (1 mM; 5 days) increases the gene expression of PAF-r, α-globin, β-globin, and decreases the c-myb gene expression in murine erythroleukemia cells (MELCs)[2].

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

RT-PCR[2]

Cell Line: Murine erythroleukemia cells (MELCs)
Concentration: 1 mM
Incubation Time: 5 days
Result: Iecreased the gene expression of PAF-r, α-globin, β-globin, decreased the c-myb gene expression.
In Vivo

Apafant (1, 5, 10, 20, 30 mg/kg) shows a protective effect on alkyl-PAF-mediated lethality in Swiss albino mice[3].

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

Animal Model: 20-25 g, Swiss albino mice[3]
Dosage: 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 mg/kg (3 h later, challenged with a lethal dose of alkyl-PAF (250 μg/kg); ip)
Administration: IP; once
Result: Increased mouse survival with none of the mice died when they were pretreated with WEB-2086 and then challenged with a lethal dose of alkyl-PAF 5 h later, Only 17% died when challenged 10 h after the WEB-2086 pretreatment. Even in the groups that received the alkyl-PAF injection 30 or 45 h after the WEB-2086 pretreatment, 33% of the mice still survived.

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.97 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.97 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
