Description

Ulimorelin (TZP-101) is a ghrelin receptor (GRLN) agonist with an EC50 of 29 nM and a Ki of 16 nM. Ulimorelin is a prokinetic agent and causes vasorelaxation through competitive antagonist action at α1-adrenoceptors. Ulimorelin stimulates intestinal motility and is used for malnutrition[1][2][3].

In Vivo

Ulimorelin (TZP-101; 0.3-5 mg/kg; i.v.) causes a dose dependent increase in the numbers and amplitudes of phasic pressure waves recorded from the colorectum[1].
Ulimorelin (1, 3, 5 mg/kg; i.v.) causes a substantial and prolonged (~1 h) increase in colorectal propulsive activity and expulsion of colonic contents[1].
Ulimorelin (p.o.; 8 mg/kg) has a Cmax of 0.39 μM and a AUC of 82 μM•min for rats. Ulimorelin (i.v.; 2 mg/kg) has a T1/2 of 50 mins, a CL of 24 mL/min/kg, and a Vss of 1.7 L/kg for rats[3].

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

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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.64 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.64 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
