Nemadipine-A is a chemical compound widely employed in the field of neurobiology and pharmacology research, particularly in studies involving the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. This compound is known for its ability to selectively inhibit L-type calcium channels, which are critical for proper neural function and muscle contraction. Research involving Nemadipine-A focuses on elucidating calcium signaling pathways, especially those that govern neuron and muscle physiology. Studies have explored its effects on behavior, development, and neuroplasticity, providing a deeper understanding of how calcium channel regulation can impact an organism′s overall health and function. Additionally, Nemadipine-A is used to dissect the genetic components of calcium channel-related diseases, as well as to assist in the identification of potential targets for modulating calcium channel activity.

What is the solubility of Nemadipine-A in water? I would like to create an aqueous solution for cell culture use.

Asked by: ChemSynth123
Thank you for your question. This chemical has poor solubility in water. We recommend first solubilizing it in DMSO (20 mg/ml, can warm it up to help) and then adding water to dilute it. There are papers that have been published referencing use of this chemical at 10 mM concentrations in DMSO for use in cell culture. Please contact Technical Service if you have further questions concerning this product.
