Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
Donepezil (Aricept) is a piperidine-based, potent, specific, and reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It can be used for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Targets&IC50
AChE (bovine):8.12 nM, AChE (human):11.6 nM
In vitro
Donepezil has 500-1000-fold more selective for AChE over butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Short- and long-exposure of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells to donepezil induces a concentration-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation unrelated to muscarinic or nicotinic receptor blockade or apoptosis. Donepezil reduces the number of cells in the S-G2/M phases of the cell cycle, increases the G0/G1 population, and reduces the expression of two cyclins of the G1/S and G2/M transitions, cyclin E and cyclin B, in parallel with an increase in the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21. In addition, donepezil increases action potential-dependent dopamine release and modulates nicotinic receptors of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons[1].
In vivo
In plasma, urine, and bile, most donepezil metabolites are O-glucuronides. After oral ingestion, peak plasma concentrations are achieved in 3-5 hours and its absorption is not affected by food. Donepezil is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and has a terminal elimination half-life of 50-70 hours in young volunteers (>100 hours in elderly subjects). After extensive metabolization in the liver, the parent compound is 93% bound to plasma proteins. Donepezil is metabolized in the liver via the cytochrome P450 system (CYP1A2-, CYP2D6-, CYP3A4-related enzymes). In animals, donepezil is found unchanged in the brain, and no metabolites are detected in the nervous tissue. Donepezil has linear pharmacokinetics over a dose range of 1-10 mg/day. 96% of circulating donepezil is protein bound [1].
Cell Research
Cell lines: retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Concentrations: 0.1-10 μM. Incubation Time: 3 days. RGC survival after exposure to each reagent (glutamate, donepezil, tacrine, galanthamine, and HA14-1) is measured by calcein-AM staining after 3 days in culture, Briefly, cells are incubated in 1 μM calcein-AM in PBS for 15 minutes at 37℃. After the medium is replaced with fresh PBS, cells are examined under a fluorescence microscope using a fluorescein filter. The total number of surviving RGCs defined as cells with a calcein-AM stained cell body and a process extending at least two cell diameters from the cell body is counted in each well. The number of surviving RGCs without any drug served as a control.
Animal Research
Animal Models: male C57BL/6 wild-type and CGRP(?/?) mice (10-12 weeks old, 21–24 g). Formulation: added to the food powder. Dosages: 1.5 mg/kg (i.g.)

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the mother liquor preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experimentsFor example, your dosage is 10 mg/kg Each animal weighs 20 g, and the dosage volume is 100 μL . TargetMol | Animal experiments A total of 10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5% TargetMol | reagent DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% ddH2O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。
Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent (mother liquor concentration of 40 mg/mL), if you need to configure a concentration that exceeds the solubility of the product, please contact us first.
Preparation method for in vivo formula: Take 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent main solution, add 300 μLPEG300TargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLddH2OTargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify
