Product Description

Edaravone (formerly known as Radicut; MCI-186; NCI-C03952; NSC 12; Norantipyrine; Norphenazone; trade name: Radicava) is a novel and potent free radical scavenger that has been used clinically to reduce the neuronal damage following ischemic stroke. In May 2017, Edaravone was approved by FDA to treat patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Edaravone inhibits MMP-9-related brain hemorrhage in rats treated with tissue plasminogen activator. It was approved by FDA in May 5th 2017 for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Edaravone reduces apoptosis and necrosis caused by glutamate. Pretreatment of edaravone (500 μM) reverses these changes to approximately normal levels.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Edaravone has effects on glutamate toxicity that are both therapeutic and preventative. Edaravone pretreatment decreased glutamate's toxicity to SGN. Edaravone lessens necrosis and apoptosis brought on by glutamate. These alterations were reverted to near-normal levels by pretreatment with 500 μM edaravone. Edaravone's protective action against glutamate-induced SGNs cell apoptosis is associated with the Bcl-2 protein family and the PI3K/Akt pathway [4].
ln Vivo
In cerebral ischemia, edaravone reduces neuronal damage and prevents endothelium damage to have neuroprotective effects. The helpful NOS that can save an ischemic stroke is increased when eNOS is present, but nNOS and iNOS—the toxic NOS—are decreased when edaravone is present. Pretreatment with edaravone decreases hemorrhagic episodes and post-reperfusion cerebral edema brought on by thrombolytic therapy [1]. The infarct size was greatly reduced by edaravone; rats in the edaravone group had an average infarct size of 227.6 mm3, which was significantly smaller than rats in the control group (264.0 mm3). Additionally, the post-ischemic bleeding volume was decreased by edaravone therapy (53.4 mm3 in edaravone-treated rats against 53.4 mm3 in the control group). 176.4 millimeters). Furthermore, rats treated with edaravone had a decreased ratio of bleeding volume to infarct volume (23.5%) compared to rats not treated (63.2%) [2]. The corpus callosum, germinal matrix, and cerebral cortex of rats given Edaravone (20 mg/kg) showed decreased astrocyte activity (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and apoptotic cells (caspase-3) [3].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.35 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
