Overview

  • Product nameOuabain octahydrate
  • Description
    Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitor
  • Biological descriptionNa+/K+ ATPase inhibitor (Ki = 30 μM). Cardiac glycoside. Stimulates activity at low nanomolar concentrations in rats. Improves cardiac function in myocardial infarction rats. Centrally active following oral administration.
  • Purity> 98%
  • General notes

    It has been reported that an aqueous solution of this material stored overnight in a borosilicate glass vial leads to the formation of ouabain-borate complexes.
    It is therefore recommended that this material is stored in a plastic vial and any contact with borosilicate glass is minimised.

    • Properties

  • Molecular Weight728.78
  • Chemical structureChemical Structure
  • Molecular formulaC29H44O12.8H2O
  • CAS Number11018-89-6
  • Storage instructionsStore at -20°C (desiccating conditions).
  • Solubility overviewSoluble in DMSO to 100 mM, in ethanol to 50 mM and in water to 10 mM (with warming)
  • Handling

    Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 6 months.

    Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
