Product Description
Tracazolate (ICI 136753) HCl is a potent GABAA receptor modulator. Tracazolate HCl is selective for β3 and enhances both α1β1γ2s (EC50=13.2μM) and α1β3γ2 (EC50=1.5 μM). The potency (EC50) of Tracazolate HCl is determined by the properties of the third subunit (γ1-3, δ, ε) in the receptor complex. Tracazolate HCl has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and anticonvulsant (antiepileptic/antiseizure) activity.
Tracazolate HCl (CAS#: 1135210-68-2) is a potent GABAA receptor modulator. It is a pyrazolopyridine derivative and non-benzodiazepine compound that exhibits anxiolytic-like effects. Tracazolate HCl is selective for β3 and enhances both α1β1γ2s (EC50=13.2 μM) and α1β3γ2 (EC50=1.5 μM). It modulates GABAA receptors, enhancing GABA-mediated chloride influx and neuronal inhibition.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tracazolate HCl targets GABAA receptors, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system. It is a subtype-selective GABAA receptor modulator that potentiates or inhibits recombinant GABAA function. Tracazolate HCl is selective for the β3 subunit and enhances both α1β1γ2s (EC50=13.2 μM) and α1β3γ2 (EC50=1.5 μM) receptor combinations.
ln Vitro
Hydrochronide α1β1ε (EC50=4.0 μM), α1β3ε (EC50=1.2 μM), α1β3 (EC50=2.7 μM), and α6β3γ (EC50=1.1 μM) are inhibited by Tracazolate (ICI 136753). Trazazolate sensitivity is increased when Asn (the β3 homologue) replaces Ser265 within the β1 subunit; tracazolate sensitivity is decreased when Ser is replaced with Asn. Adenosine receptors, phosphodiesterase, and gamma-aminobutyric acid GABAA receptors are all interacting with tracazolate hydrochloride [1]. In oocytes, the maximal current amplitude is increased and the sensitivity of GABAA receptors containing α1β2δ is enhanced by tracazolate hydrochloride (10 μM) [2].
In vitro, Tracazolate HCl is a potent GABAA receptor modulator. It enhances GABA-mediated chloride influx at GABAA receptors. It is selective for β3-containing receptors, with EC50 values of 13.2 μM for α1β1γ2s and 1.5 μM for α1β3γ2. These in vitro properties make Tracazolate HCl a valuable tool for studying GABAA receptor pharmacology and subunit selectivity.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Tracazolate HCl is a non-benzodiazepine compound that exhibits anxiolytic-like effects. It modulates GABAA receptors, enhancing GABA-mediated neuronal inhibition. These properties suggest potential for treating anxiety disorders. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro receptor binding assay for Tracazolate HCl involves measuring its binding affinity to GABAA receptor subtypes. The compound is incubated with membranes expressing different GABAA receptor combinations (e.g., α1β1γ2s, α1β3γ2) in the presence of a radiolabeled GABAA receptor ligand (e.g., [3H]muscimol or [3H]flunitrazepam). Binding affinity is determined using competition binding assays. Functional modulation can be assessed by measuring GABA-induced chloride influx or electrophysiological responses.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cell-based assay for Tracazolate HCl involves culturing cells expressing GABAA receptors (e.g., recombinant cell lines or primary neurons) and treating them with the compound to assess effects on receptor function. Cells are treated with Tracazolate HCl at various concentrations in the presence of GABA, and chloride influx is measured using fluorescent chloride indicators (e.g., MQAE) or patch-clamp electrophysiology. Subtype selectivity is assessed by comparing EC50 values across different receptor combinations. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Tracazolate HCl have been conducted in models of anxiety. Rodents are administered Tracazolate HCl, and anxiolytic-like effects are assessed using behavioral tests such as the elevated plus maze, open field test, or light-dark box test. Standard protocols for anxiolytic compound evaluation are employed. However, detailed data are limited in publicly accessible sources.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Tracazolate HCl have not been extensively characterized. As a small molecule, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability. Tracazolate HCl is soluble in 0.1 M HCl. The compound has a molecular formula of C16H24N4O2 (free base) and a molecular weight of 304.39 (free base). Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and bioavailability are not available from publicly accessible sources.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Tracazolate HCl has not been systematically evaluated. As a GABAA receptor modulator, its primary safety concerns would relate to central nervous system effects, including sedation, ataxia, and dependence potential. Standard toxicology assessments would include acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies in rodents, with endpoints including clinical signs, body weight, clinical pathology, and histopathology. No specific toxicity data are available.
