Dimethadione (5,5-dimethyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione) is the N-demethylated metabolite of the anticonvulsant trimethadione. Dimethadione is considered to be a blocker of T-type calcium channel. Dimethadione also inhibits a specific potassium channel (Ikr) in HERG-transfected cells. It exerts teratogenic effect especially congenital heart defects. Dimethadione can be used for the measurement of regional tissue pH using positron emission tomography.

Sample Use Guides

To generate rats with resolved congenital heart defects, pregnant rats were administered distilled water or dimethadione [300 mg/kg b.i.d. on gestation day (gd) 9 and 10] and pups delivered naturally. In order to detect both pancreatic excretion of dimethadione (DMO), a weak organic acid, and the effect of pancreatic DMO on secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion, DMO was given intravenously to dogs with pancreatic fistulae at a dose of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg.
