Description of Alpidem

Alpidem is an anxiolytic agent.1 It selectively binds to α1β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors over α5β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors in HEK293 cells (IC50s = 0.017 and ≥10 µM, respectively, for the recombinant rat receptors).2 Alpidem also binds to the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex and translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) with IC50 values of 0.028 and 0.0079 µM, respectively.3 It reduces marble burying in mice, indicating anxiolytic activity, with a minimum effective dose (MED) of 10 mg/kg.4 Unlike the benzodiazepine alprazolam, alpidem does not induce sedation in mice when administered at doses up to 2 mg/kg.5 Formulations containing alpidem have previously been used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
