Storage & Solubility Information
Description | Sarcosine (Methylglycine) is a competitive inhibitor of the type I glycine transporter (GlyT1) and an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) co-agonist. |
In vitro | Sarcosine is a GlyR agonist in addition to being a GlyT1 inhibitor and NMDAR co-agonist, but it is less potent than glycine as a GlyR agonist and is not a full agonist[1]. The viability of the sarcosine-treated cells is significantly reduced[4]. |
In vivo | Sarcosine has weak anticonvulsant properties[2]. It ameliorates (prepulse inhibition)PPI deficits in mGluR5 knockout mice[3]. |
Cell Research | Immediately after the cells grow to 50-60% confluence, the cultivation medium is replaced by fresh medium to synchronise cell growth. Cells are cultivated for 24 h under these conditions. Subsequently, the culture medium is supplemented with sarcosine (N-methylglycine) diluted to a final concentration 10, 150, 250, 500, 1,000 and 1,500 μM. Treatment is carried out for 0, 6, 12, 24 and 72 h, and samples are collected at these strictly defined time points.(Only for Reference) |

Calculator
In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)
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. A total of
10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5%
DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% ddH2O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL.
Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μLDMSO
(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 μLDMSO
main solution, add 300 μLPEG300
mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μLTween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLddH2O
mix well and clarify.
