Description of Spermine

Spermine is an endogenous polyamine involved in cellular metabolism found in all eukaryotic cells. Spermine is required for eukaryotic cell growth and protein synthesis. Spermine functions as physiological blockers of inward rectifier K+ channels [1].

Inward rectifier K+ channels mediate the K+ conductance at resting potential in many types of cell. Inward rectifier K+ channels play an important role in controlling excitability [1].

Spermine blocked cloned inward rectifier K+ channels IRK1 with the IC50 of 31 nM clamped at 50 mV membrane potential [1]. Physiological concentrations of free spermine (10 μM) mediated strong rectification of IRK1 inward rectifier K+ channels even in the absence of free Mg2+ and in IRK1 mutant channels that have no endogenous rectification [1].

High dose level of spermine induced a great number of changes, such as emaciation, aggressiveness, convulsions and paralysis of the hind legs in Wistar rats. Spermine considerably decreased growth, food intake and water intake [3].

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.
