Biological Activity

Metoclopramide HCl is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. By competitively blocking central and peripheral dopamine D2 receptors, it prevents dopamine-induced inhibition of gastrointestinal smooth muscle motility and inhibits neurotransmission within the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Consequently, this targeted receptor blockade promotes gastric emptying, enhances upper gastrointestinal tract peristalsis, and suppresses emetic signaling pathways involved in nausea and vomiting responses.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
