Reconstitution Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity.
Shipping Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
Solubility Up to 100 mM in water. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g, 5 min).

Scientific background

Isoguvacine hydrochloride is a specific and potent agonist of GABA(A) receptors with an EC50 value of 3.7-17.3 µM, depending on the subunit composition1. It is a semirigid analogue of trans-4-aminocrotonic acid with limited conformational flexibility and is less potent than GABA1,2.GABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. They mediate GABA action, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, through the central nervous system, and play an important role in inhibiting cell excitation in the central nervous system. GABA(A) receptors are considered to be a major target of antiseizure drugs3,4.

Lead time: 1-2 Business Days
