Product Description

Aprepitant (formerly known as MK-0869; MK-869; L-754030; trade name: Emend) is a novel, selective and high-affinity small molecule antagonist of neurokinin 1 receptor with a Kd of 86 pM. Apepitant is able to selectively bind to the human substance P/neurokinin 1 receptor in the central nervous system (CNS) by crossing the blood brain barrier. This inhibits the receptor's ability to bind endogenous substance P and substance P-induced emesis. Aprepitant exhibits negligible or absent affinity towards corticosteroid, dopamine, and serotonin type 3 (5-HT3) receptors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
G-CSF; IL-6; IL-8; TNFα; Neurokinin-1 receptor( IC50 = 0.1 nM)
ln Vitro
Aprepitant decreases metabolic activity with an estimated IC50 value of 20 µM. Aprepitant causes G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibition of cell growth. In Nalm-6 cells, apropitant strongly induces apoptosis, which is mediated by activating caspase-3. Pro-apoptotic p53 target gene expression and p53 accumulation are induced by aprepitant (20 µM)[2]. In a dose-dependent manner, aprepitant (1, 5, 10 µM) inhibits HIV infection in MDM from HIV-negative individuals who are depressed and those who are not. Apreciant's IC50 value is approximately 5 μM, while its IC90 value is 10 μM[4].
ln Vivo
Aprepitant inhibits the upregulation of NK-1R expression brought on by B. burgdorferi infection of NHP in vivo. B. burgdorferi-induced elevations in CCL2 protein levels in NHP CSF are inhibited by aprepitant treatment. Aprepitant treatment inhibits B. burgdorferi-induced increases in the mRNA expression of CCL2 and CXCL13 in the NHPs' dorsal root ganglia as well as CCL2, CXCL13, IL-17A, and IL-6 in the NHPs' spinal cord. The reductions in astrocyte activity/numbers caused by B. burgdorferi infection are lessened by aparepitant treatment[1]. In mice, the locomotor activation and CPP expression induced by AMPH and cocaine are significantly reduced by aparepitant (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Significant CPP, conditioned place aversion, locomotor activation, or suppression are not induced by appetizing substances[3]. Comparing treated with aparepitant (125 mg/day, p.o.), the levels of viral RNA in plasma are reduced by 1 log[4].
Cell Assay
Appetitant's inhibitory effect on Nalm-6 cells' metabolic activity is measured by the viable cells' uptake of thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT). At a density of 5000 cells per well, cells are plated onto 96-well plates. Following 24–36–48 hours of aprepitant treatment at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 µM, the cells are then incubated for 3 hours at 37°C with 100 μL of MTT (0.5 mg/mL). The control group consists of untreated cells. An ELISA reader is used to measure the optical densitometry at a wavelength of 578 nm after solubilizing the precipitated formazan with 100 μL of DMSO.
Animal Protocol
Fifteen rhesus macaques undergo anesthesia and are intrathecally injected with 1×108 live spirochetes into the cisterna magna. The remaining five macaques remain uninfected and are given 1 mL of RPMI 1640 medium after a corresponding amount of CSF is removed. A positive culture from at least a necropsy tissue sample indicates the establishment of an in vivo B. burgdorferi infection. The first group of animals, which were divided into two control groups (one receiving aprepitant treatment), two infected groups receiving no treatment, and two infected groups receiving aprepitant treatment, were all subjected to a two-week study. The second group of animals, which consists of five infected and untreated animals, four infected animals treated with aprepitant, and three control animals, one of which is treated with aprepitant, are all studied for four weeks. Apepitant is given to animals orally twice a day at an average dose of 28 ± 6 mg/kg, and medication treatments begin two days prior to inoculation. These dosages align with typical veterinary regimens for the selected medications in NHP, and the 4-week study period avoids the development of neural pathology, which happens eight weeks after B. burgdorferi infection.

For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
