Product Introduction

Bioactivity

Description	Bisacodyl (Fenilaxan) is a diphenylmethane stimulant laxative used for the treatment of constipation and for bowel evacuation.
In vitro	Bisacodyl inhibits the absorption of water in rats' jejunum, ileum, and colon, with the degree of inhibition linearly correlated to the logarithm of bisacodyl concentration. At a dosage of 4.3 mg/kg, bisacodyl, in combination with AOM, increases the number of microcysts per colony in rats without increasing tumor numbers. However, a higher dosage of 43 mg/kg significantly raises both the microcyst and tumor counts. Compared to rats treated with saline, bisacodyl (5.9 mg/kg) significantly reduces the activity of jejunum and colon (Na + K) ATPases. Furthermore, at 5.9 mg/kg, bisacodyl markedly increases PGE2 levels and stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the jejunum and colon, without affecting cAMP levels. Oral administration of 10 mg/kg bisacodyl significantly decreases NOS activity in the rat jejunum. Meanwhile, 20 mg/kg bisacodyl leads to a reduction in AQP3 protein expression and an increase in TNF-α mRNA expression levels in the rat colon.
In vivo	At a concentration of 10 μg/mL, Bisacodyl acts on Raw264.7 cells, leading to an increase in the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, COX2, and PGE2.
Alias	Fenilaxan, Dulcolax, Brocalax

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:

For 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% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。

Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSO TargetMol | 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 DMSO TargetMol | reagent

main solution, add 300 μLPEG300 TargetMol | reagent

mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLSaline/PBS/ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent
