Voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSCs) comprise a large multi-gene family encoding individual subtypes that can be differentiated on the basis of primary structure, biophysical properties and sensitivity to the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin1-2. Most VGSCs, termed TTX-sensitive (TTXs), have been both found in brain and sensory neurons where they have a low threshold for activation and rapid inactivation kinetics; by contrast other VGSCs are termed TTX-resistant (TTXr). These may play a key role in persistent pain states, including neuropathic and chronic inflammatory pain.Ralfinamide mesylate (NW-1029) is a Na+ channel blocker that suppresses tetrodotoxin (TTX)-resistant Na+ currents in small to medium size (C-type) dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons about twice as selectively as it blocks TTX-sensitive currents in the same neurons; IC50 values for tonic block of half-maximal inactivated tetrodotoxin-resistant and tetrodotoxin-sensitive currents are 10 μM and 22 μM, respectively3. The blocking action of ralfinamide shows frequency and voltage dependence3. In experimental animal models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain, systemic administration of ralfinamide elicits anti-nociceptive effects4-6.

Ralfinamide mesylate is a Na+ channel blocker1. Its IC50 values for tonic block of half-maximal inactivated tetrodotoxin (TTX)-resistant and TTX-sensitive currents are 10 and 22 μM, respectively1. Ralfinamide displays analgesic effects in animal models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain2.

Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity

DMSO. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).

Up to four weeks at 4°C or three months at -20°C.
