Description of Dantrolene

Dantrolene (F368), a muscle relaxant, non-competitively inhibits human erythrocyte glutathione reductase. Ki and IC50 values are 111.6 μM and 52.3 μM, respectively. Dantrolene is a ryanodine receptor antagonist and Ca2+ signaling stabilizer. Dantrolene can be used for the research of muscle spasticity, malignant hyperthermia, Huntington's disease and other neuroleptic malignant syndrome[1][2][3][4][5].

Dantrolene interferes with calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and thus to inhibit excitation--contraction coupling[1]. Dantrolene acts directly on the RYR1 to reduce the extent of channel activation by calmodulin (CaM) and thereby decreases the Ca2+ sensitivity of channel activation[2].Dantrolene inhibits abnormal Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum[3]. Dantrolene depresses excitation-contraction coupling in muscle fibers by inhibiting calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum[3].Dantrolene also shows calcium channel blocker effect in the smooth muscle membrane as well as antioxidative and cytoprotective properties[3]. Dantrolene affects the membrane calcium channel of smooth muscle cells and inhibits calcium influx[3].Dantrolene is a skeletal muscle-specific muscle relaxant that works on the cardiac muscle. Dantrolene (0.3 μM) binds to domain 601-620 of RyR2 and corrects defective inter-domain interaction within RyR2 in failing hearts. This in turn inhibits spontaneous Ca2++ leak/Ca2+ sparks, and improves cardiomyocyte function in failing hearts[4].

Dantrolene is neuroprotective in Huntington's disease transgenic mouse model[5].Feeding dantrolene (5 mg/kg) twice a week to YAC128 mice between 2 months and 11.5 months of age resulted in significantly improved performance in the beam-walking and gait-walking assays[5].

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 saline, 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.
