Description of L-AP4

L-APB is a potent and specific agonist for the group III mGluRs, with EC50s of 0.13, 0.29, 1.0, 249 μM for mGlu4, mGlu8, mGlu6 and mGlu7 receptors, respectively.

Paw withdrawal threshold in response to application of von Frey filaments before spinal nerve ligation is 22.6±2.4 g. The mechanical threshold decreases significantly (2.3±0.5 g, P

Protocol of L-AP4

Animal experiment:

Rats[2]The effect of L-APB (L-AP4: 5, 10, and 50 μM) on identified ascending dorsal horn neurons is studied in 20 L5 and L6 spinal nerve ligated rats. L-APB, starting with the lowest concentration, is applied topically onto the exposed spinal cord. Five to 10 min following L-APB application, the response of neurons to graded mechanical stimuli is re-examined. To ensure that the effect of L-APB on dorsal horn neurons is through group III mGluRs, the inhibitory effect of 50 μM L-APB is tested before and after topical application of 100 μM MAP4, a specific antagonist for group III mGluRs, in another 12 dorsal horn neurons. MAP4 is applied to the recording site 10 min before application of 50 μM L-APB. In addition, to determine whether topical application of L-APB affects ascending dorsal horn neurons in normal rats, the effect of 50 μM L-APB on spontaneous and evoked responses to graded mechanical stimuli is examined in 11 dorsal horn neurons from eight normal rats. Also, the effect of topical spinal application of 100 μM MAP4 alone on these cells is tested 15 to 20 min after washout of L-APB solution from the recording site[2].

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.
