Description	Benzamil is an epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker that inhibits sodium transport from (IC50 = 4 nM) and binds to (Kd = 5 nM) bovine kidney cortex membrane vesicles.
Targets&IC50	ENaC,
Animal Research	On the day of the experiment, rats were allocated into experimental and control groups for the tested drugs.Control groups were performed using intrathecal DMSO (n=5) or methanol (n=5) according to the solvent used for the tested drugs.All experiments were performed by investigators blinded to the treatment.To assess the effects of both drugs, increasing doses of amiloride (1, 3, 10 μg in 10 μL, n=5-7) or benzamil (3, 10, 30 μg in 10 μL, n=5-7) were investigated.The withdrawal threshold was measured prior to spinal nerve ligation and was regarded as pre-ligated threshold.The withdrawal threshold was measured immediately prior to intrathecal drug delivery and was regarded as a post-ligated baseline threshold.The withdrawal threshold was determined at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min following intrathecal administration of the experimental drugs.For the purpose of examining the behavioral changes by amiloride and benzamil, the highest dose of each drug was administered intrathecally to 10 additional rats.Motor function was assessed by the righting reflex and placing-stepping reflex[1].

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 add μL PEG300， mix and clarify, next add μL Tween 80，mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, 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.

The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
