Biological Activity

Description Riluzole (PK 26124, RP-54274) is a glutamate release inhibitor with neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic and anesthetic qualities.
Targets
Sodium channel [1] NMDA receptor [1] Glutamate release [2]
In vitro

Riluzole inhibits the release of glutamic acid from cultured neurons, and from brain slices. These effects may be partly due to inactivation of voltage-dependent sodium channels on glutamatergic nerve terminals, as well as activation of a G-protein-dependent signal transduction process. Electrophysiologic experiments performed on isolated excitatory amino acid receptors expressed in the Xenopus oocyte have revealed that Riluzole inhibits currents evoked by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) (IC50 = 18 μM) and kainic acid (IC50 = 167 μM). Riluzole has been shown to stabilize inactivated sodium channels in frog sciatic nerve, in rat cerebellar granule cells, and on recombinant rat sodium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes (Ki = 0.2 μM). Riluzole also blocks some of the postsynaptic effects of glutamic acid by noncompetitive blockade of NMDA receptors. Tiluzole protects cultured neurons from anoxic damage, from the toxic effects of glutamic-acid-uptake inhibitors, and from the toxic factor in the CSF of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

In vivo Riluzole can easily cross the blood-brain barrier. Riluzole has neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and sedative properties in vivo. In a rodent model of transient global cerebral ischemia, a complete suppression of the ischemia-evoked surge in glutamic acid release has been observed by Riluzole treatment (8 mg/kg i.p.). [1]

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.
