Description of Methazolamide

Methazolamide, a derivative of sulfonamide, is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase (CA) that potently inhibits isoenzymes of CA, CA II and CA IV with values of 50% inhibition concentration IC50 of 8.1 nM and 80.3 nM respectively. Methazolamide has been widely used to treat glaucoma for its ability to reduce the rate of fluid formation in the inner eye through slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions and subsequently resulting in reduction in sodium and fluid transport. Recent studies have revealed that methazolamide, while other CA inhibitos are not, also acts as an insulin sensitizer to suppress hepatic glucose production in vivo.

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 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.
