Description

Tetraethylammonium chloride is a non-selective potassium channel blocker. Tetraethylammonium chloride is a good substrate for organic cation transporter (OCTN1). Tetraethylammonium chloride antitumor properties[1][2].

In Vitro

Tetraethylammonium (0.2-60 mM; 24-72 hours; C6 and 9L glioma cells) treatment inhibits the proliferation of C6 and 9L cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
Tetraethylammonium (40 mM; 24-72 hours; C6 and 9L glioma cells) treatment significantly increases apoptosis in cells[1].
Tetraethylammonium (40 mM; 12-48 hours; C6 and 9L glioma cells) treatment significantly elevates Bax/Bcl-2 protein ratio in a time-dependent manner[1].
The generation of intracellular ROS increased in C6 and 9L cells by the addition of 20 and 40 mM Tetraethylammonium[1].

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: Rat C6 and 9L glioma cells
Concentration: 0.2 mM, 2 mM, 20 mM, 40 mM and 60 mM
Incubation Time: 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours
Result: Inhibited the proliferation of C6 and 9L cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Rat C6 and 9L glioma cells
Concentration: 40 mM
Incubation Time: 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours
Result: Significantly increased apoptosis in cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Rat C6 and 9L glioma cells
Concentration: 40 mM
Incubation Time: 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours
Result: The expression of Bax was markedly increased, while that of Bcl-2 showed a decreasing trend 12, 24 and 48 h.
In Vivo

Tetraethylammonium (1 mM, 3 mM, and 5 mM) significantly increases the amplitude and frequency of contractility of colon and rectum from rats in longitudinal and circular direction. Tetraethylammonium at 5 mM and 15 mM concentrations shows no effect on histology of colon and rectum from rats that are administered locally with Tetraethylammonium into colon lumen from anus for 10 days[2].

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 (15.09 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 (15.09 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.
