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
CCK receptor [2]
In vivo

Caerulein (FI-6934), a cholecystokinin agonist, elicits reduction of the nalaxone-induced jumping at low doses (0.00001 and 0.0001 mg/kg). The inhibition of jumping induced by this compound is reduced with the selective cholecystokinin antagonists MK-329 and L-365,260. It is concluded that cholecystokinin mechanism(s) may be involved in its dependence, that the agonists may act on a presynaptic receptors.[2]
