Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Against pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures, Co 134444 (0.5-10 mg/kg, i.p., 15 min; 1-60 mg/kg, p.o., 30 min) demonstrated effectiveness in mice. 3.3 mg/kg injected and 9.8 mg/kg taken orally is the ED50 following injection. Parallel to this, protection against maximum electric shock (MES) was noted at 4.8 mg/kg IP and 20.6 mg/kg PO for the ED50. Co134444, with ED50s of 23.6 mg/kg and 25.3 mg/kg, respectively, prevented PTZ-induced seizures and MES-induced seizures in rats (10–40 mg/kg; PO; 30 minutes) [1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~233.31 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.83 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
