Description

Apinocaltamide (ACT-709478) is a potent, selective, orally active, and brain penetrating T-type calcium channel blocker. ACT-709478 is used in the research of generalized epilepsies[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

Cav1.2

2410 nM (IC50)

CaV3.1

6.4 nM (IC50)

Cav3.2

18 nM (IC50)

CaV3.3

7.5 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

Apinocaltamide (Compound 66b) blocks Cav3.1, Cav3.2, Cav3.3, Cav1.2 with IC50s of 6.4, 18, 7.5 and 2410 nM, respectively. Apinocaltamide blocks recombinant channel hCav3.3 potently with marked voltage-dependency (Kr≈1500 nM and Ki≈20 nM). Apinocaltamide blocks currents through hKv11.1-hERG channels with an IC50 of 5.5 μM[1].
Apinocaltamide also inhibits P450 enzymes with IC50s of 14, 15, 22, 25, 51 and 52 μM for CYP2C8,CYP2D6 CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP2B6, respectively[1].

In Vivo

Apinocaltamide (Compound 66b, 100, 300 mg/kg, p.o., measured 12 hours later) potently decreases the cumulative duration of absence-like seizures in mice[1].

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

Animal Model: Male juvenile DBA/2J mice (22-24 days old)[1]
Dosage: 100, 300 mg/kg, 1 hour or 3 hours before exposure to the stimulus.
Administration: P.O., for 12 hours
Result: Decreased the cumulative duration of absence-like seizures over the next 12 h period by 93%.

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 (4.89 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 (4.89 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.
