Doxapram HCl

InformationDoxapram HCl Doxapram HCl inhibits TASK-1, TASK-3, TASK-1/TASK-3 heterodimeric channel function with EC50 of 410 nM, 37 μM, 9 μM, respectively.In vitroDoxapram inhibits both TASK-1 and TASK-3 function in a dose dependent manner. Doxapram inhibition at both hyperpolarized and depolarized potentials, as well as effects independent of extracellular potassium concentration. It is said that the carboxy terminal domain of TASK-1 is important to doxapram inhibition. Doxapram also inhibits TRESK, TASK-2, and TREK-1 but at significantly larger concentrations (EC50s of 240 μM, 460 μM, and >1 mM, respectively). Doxapram has no effect on MAC for halothane.In vivoDoxapram is an analeptic agent. The respiratory stimulant action is manifested by an increase in tidal volume associated with a slight increase in respiratory rate. A pressor response may result following Doxapram administration.The mean half-life is 3.4 h (range 2.4-4.1h), the mean apparent volume of distribution is 1.5 mg/kg and the whole body clearance is 370 mL/min. Enteric-coated capsules of doxapram base are absorbed rapidly after an initial delay, and the systemic availability is about 60%.Cell Datacell lines：BT474, HCC1954 and T-47D cellsConcentrations：Incubation Time：Powder Purity:≥97%.
