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.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Sodium channel
In vitro

Amiloride also induces the dephosphorylation of P13K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) and PDK-1 (phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1) kinases along with PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) and PP1 alpha phosphatases. Amiloride inhibits phosphorylation of kinases and phosphatases by competing with ATP. Amiloride, which causes little or no cytotoxicity by itself, enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Amiloride precludes the alkalinization and in parallel inhibit cellular proliferation. Amiloride directly inhibits autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor. Amiloride significantly enhances recovery to a maximum of 39%, 88%, and 78% for force, +dF/dt, and -dF/dt, respectively. Amiloride, a frequently used inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, rapidly inhibits phorbol ester-stimulated protein phosphorylation in vivo and protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation in vitro, both with potency similar to that with which Amiloride inhibits Na+/H+ exchange. Amiloride blocks phorbol ester-induced adhesion of HL-60 cells (adhesion being a property indicative of the differentiated state), but dimethylamiloride (as well as ethylisopropylamiloride, another very potent amiloride analog) does not. Amiloride inhibits the ouabain-sensitive rate of oxygen consumption (QO2) of a suspension of rabbit intact proximal tubules in the presence of different concentrations of extracellular sodium.
