Alloepipregnanolone, a pregnane with anesthetic, hypnotic, and sedative properties, interferes with the development of rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol.
On day 2, pretreatment with a 0.20 mg/kg dose of Alloepipregnanolone blocks the development of rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol. However, there is a significant decrease in the anxiolytic effect in the control groups that received ethanol on both days (EE), suggesting that the 1.5 g/kg dose of ethanol results in rapid tolerance. The post hoc analysis confirms that the 0.20 mg/kg pretreatment with Alloepipregnanolone blocks the rapid tolerance compared to the control groups, although the 0.10 mg/kg dose only partially blocks the development of such tolerance. However, the 0.05 mg/kg dose has no effect on the development of rapid tolerance to ethanol[1].

Animal experiment: | Mice[1]Male Swiss mice are pretreated with Alloepipregnanolone (isopregnanolone: 0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 mg/kg) 30 min before administration of ethanol (1.5 g/kg). Twenty-four hours later, all animals tested using the plus-maze apparatus. The first experiment defines the doses of ethanol that does or does not induce rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol. In the second, the influence of pretreatment of mice with Alloepipregnanolone (0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 mg/kg) on rapid tolerance to ethanol (1.5 g/kg) is studied[1]. |

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
