  3. Carbetocin acetate

Carbetocin acetate, an oxytocin (OT) analogue, is an oxytocin receptor agonist with a Ki of 7.1 nM. Carbetocin acetate has high affinity to chimeric N-terminus (E1) of the oxytocin receptor (Ki=1.17 μM). Carbetocin acetate has the potential for postpartum hemorrhage research. Carbetocin acetate can crosse the blood-brain barrier and produces antidepressant-like activity via activation of oxytocin receptors in the CNS.

Description

Carbetocin acetate, an oxytocin (OT) analogue, is an oxytocin receptor agonist with a Ki of 7.1 nM. Carbetocin acetate has high affinity to chimeric N-terminus (E1) of the oxytocin receptor (Ki=1.17 μM). Carbetocin acetate has the potential for postpartum hemorrhage research. Carbetocin acetate can crosse the blood-brain barrier and produces antidepressant-like activity via activation of oxytocin receptors in the CNS[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Carbetocin acetate is an agonist with about 10-fold lower affinity for the oxytocin receptor but with significantly higher stability and a longer duration of action. Carbetocin acetate has higher affinity to the chimeric E1 receptor and especially to each of the combinations of E1 with the other extracellular domains, i.e. chimeric receptors E13 (Ki=13 nM), E123 (Ki=56 nM), and E1234 (Ki=37 nM)[2].

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

In Vivo

Carbetocin (2-20 mg/kg; i.p.) acetate has a significant effect of treatment on the percent time spent climbing, swimming and immobile[1].
Carbetocin (1, 10,100 μg/rat, i.c.v.) acetate reveals a dose-dependent increase in the percent time spent swimming and a corresponding reduction in immobility following acute administration of 100 μg/rat[1].

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 (1.98 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 (1.98 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.
