Background

5-Aminovaleric acid has been identified as an important five-carbon platform chemical, which can be used for the synthesis of polymers and other chemicals of industrial interest as well.

In vitro: 5-Aminovaleric acid, a GABA analog, was reported to be able to inhibit GABA uptake, inactivate GABA aminotransferase, and could also both agonize and antagonize GABAb receptors. In addition, 5-aminovaleric acid has been found to be able to increase glutamine concentrations, thus possibly compensating for the decreased concentration of brain glutamine [1].

In vivo: Animal study found that 5-aminovaleric acid-treated rats showed a 3.5-fold reduction in the number of seizures than PBS-treated rats. In addition, both groups showed similar seizure frequency (~1 seizure/day). However, the fraction of the most severe type of seizures increased over time in the PBS treated group, but not in the 5-aminovaleric acid treated group. Moreover, 5-aminovaleric acid treated rats experienced a 2.3- and 2.6-fold lower fraction of stage 4 and 5 seizures than PBS-treated rats [1].

Clinical trial: Aminocaproic acid has been approved by FDA for the treatment of acute bleeding caused by elevated fibrinolytic activity. It has also been used for the prevention of recurrent hemorrhage in patients with traumatic hyphema [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminocaproic_acid].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
