Storage & Solubility Information
Description Vofopitant (GR 205171) is a potent NK1 receptor antagonist with anxiolytic and antiemetic activity for the study of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Targets&IC50 NK1 receptor (rat):9.5 (pKi), NK1 receptor (human):10.6 (pKi), NK1 receptor (ferret):9.8(pKi)
In vitro Co-administration of paroxetine (4 mg/kg; i.p.) with the NK1 receptor antagonists, Vofopitant/GR205171 (30 mg/kg; i.p.) or L733060 (40 mg/kg; i.p.), potentiated the effects of paroxetine on cortical [5-HT]ext in wild-type mice, whereas GR205171 (30 mg/kg; i.p.) had no effect on paroxetine-induced increase in cortical [5-HT]ext in NK1 receptor knock-out mice. When GR205171 (300 micro mol/L) was perfused by 'reverse microdialysis' into the dorsal raphe nucleus, it potentiated the effects of paroxetine on cortical [5-HT]ext, and inhibited paroxetine-induced increase in [5-HT]ext in the dorsal raphe nucleus[2].
In vivo In a T-maze experiment, Vofopitant (GR205171, 30 mg/kg, subcutaneously) enhances the selection of a 25-second delayed reward[3]. Furthermore, when administered intraperitoneally at the same dosage, Vofopitant elevates extracellular serotonin (5-HT) levels in the frontal cortex of wild-type mice treated with paroxetine, but not in untreated wild-type or in NK1 receptor knockout mice also treated with paroxetine[2].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
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)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
