Description

Rufinamide (CGP 33101) is an orally active antiepileptic compound that inhibits Na+ current activation, inhibits neuronal hyperexcitability, and has anticonvulsant effects. Rufinamide is used in the study of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Rufinamide (10-300 μM) selectively binds to the slow-inactivated state (Ii) of Na+ channels in CHO-K1 and human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with human NaV 1.7 cDNA, causing a hyperpolarizing shift and a kinase-dependent block, and inhibits the resuscitation current in a dose-dependent manner[1][3].
Rufinamide (100 µM) alleviates neuropathic pain in dorsal root ganglion neurons isolated from C57BL/6 mice by affecting the sodium ion stabilization inactivation effect[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Rufinamide inhibits maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice by intraperitoneal injection (ED50: 15.5 mg/kg) and oral administration (ED50: 23.9 mg/kg), in addition, intraperitoneal injection can also inhibit the clonus induced by pentylenetetrazol, Bicuculline (HY-N0219) and Picrotoxin (HY-101391) in mice (ED50: 54.0, 50.5 and 76.3 mg/kg, respectively)[2].
Rufinamide is non-neurotoxic and has a high protection index at doses that reduce seizures (i.p. TD50: 500-1,000 mg/kg; p.o. TD50: ≥ 1,000 mg/kg)[2].
Rufinamide (p.o.) can effectively inhibit MES-induced seizures in Sprague-Dawley rats (ED50: 6.1 mg/kg) and is well tolerated with low toxicity[2].
Rufinamide (i.p., 5-50 mg/kg) dose-dependently alleviates neuropathic pain behaviors in the mouse spared nerve injury model without altering basal mechanical sensitivity or thermal paw withdrawal latency[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice (male, aged 4-8 weeks, 20-25 g)[3]
Dosage: 5,10,25,50 mg/kg
Administration: i.p. one dose
Result: Showed dose-dependent relief of SNI-induced allodynia, with effects seen 20 minutes after injection, peaking at 60 minutes, and persisting for at least 4 hours, but subsiding by 24 hours after administration,at the highest dose, allodynia-like behaviors were completely reversed.
Did not cause any changes in sedation or basal pain sensitivity.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.50 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
