Description

Methyl nicotinate (Nicotinic acid methyl ester) is an orally active vasodilator. Methyl nicotinate has analgesic activity. Methyl nicotinate causes local skin erythema when applied topically to the skin. Methyl nicotinate is used as an active ingredient in over-the-counter topical preparations for the study of muscle and joint pain[1][2][3][4].

Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Was extremely toxic to fibroblasts at 10mg/mL concentration, and 90% of the cells were still alive at5 mg/mL concentration.
In Vivo

Methyl nicotinate (5-10 mg.kg; Oral gavage; Single dose) has peripheral and central antialgesic activity in Swiss albino mice[1].
Methyl nicotinate (5-10 mg/mL; 30-60 min) has vasodilatory effect in egg embryo eggs[2].

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

Animal Model: Writhing model of Swiss albino mice induced by acetic acid[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; Single dose. Before Acetic acid treatment (10 mg/kg; i.p.; Single dose)

At dose of 10 mg/kg, has a similar analgesic effect to Aspirin (HY-14654) within 30 minutes.
Animal Model: Hot plate test Swiss albino mouse model[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; Single dose
Result: Could significantly prolong the latency of mice's response to thermal pain after 30 minutes of administration.
Animal Model: Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) model[2]
Dosage: 5 mg/mL/egg, 1 mg/mL/egg, 100 mg/mL/egg
Administration:
Result: Promoted microvasodilation at 5 mg/mL/egg.
Promoted vasodilation to a greater extent, but mild bleeding occurred at 10 mg/mL/egg.
Caused extreme vasodilation, leading to blood vessel rupture and bleeding at 100 mg/mL/egg.

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 (18.23 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 (18.23 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.

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.
