CTIBD is a novel potent activator of the BKCa channel with EC50 of 3.9 uM.CTIBD showed significantly higher potency compared with three other known BKCa activators: NS 1619, NS 11021, and rottlerin.CTIBD induced a reversible potentiation of macroscopic outward currents of the BKCa channel, CTIBD activates both rSlo/rβ1 and rSlo/rβ4 coexpressed channels mainly by decreasing the closing rate of the channel.CTIBD concentration-dependently reduced ACh-induced contractions in isolated rat urinary bladder strips. CTIBD effectively restored frequent voiding contraction and lowered voiding volume without affecting other bladder function parameters in acetic acid-induced overactive bladder (OAB) model (i.p. 20 mg/kg).

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day.
