Product Description
AZD-2066 is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable and brain penetrant antagonist mGlu5 (metabotropic glutamate receptor 5) with IC50 in the nanomolar range for rat and human receptors, respectively. It displays discriminative effects in rats. The discriminative effects of AZD9272 and AZD2066 are similar to those of previously investigated mGluR5 antagonists and dissimilar to those of cocaine, PCP, chlordiazepoxide, and (-)-Δ(9)-THC. The discriminative half-life of AZD9272 is approximately 7-fold longer than for MTEP. These data support and extend previous findings suggesting that mGluR5 antagonism causes psychoactive effects selectively mediated by mGluR5 mechanisms.
AZD2066 (CAS#: 934282-55-0) is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable, and brain-penetrant antagonist of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). It is a small-molecule compound with a molecular weight of 381.82 and a chemical formula of C19H16ClN5O2. AZD2066 has been used in trials studying the treatment of pain, chronic pain, reflux episodes, neuropathic pain, and diabetic neuropathy. The compound displays discriminative effects in rats. AZD2066 is intended for research purposes only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AZD2066 targets the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), a G protein-coupled receptor that plays a key role in modulating synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in the central nervous system. mGluR5 is activated by glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, and is involved in various physiological processes including learning, memory, pain perception, and anxiety. AZD2066 is a potent, selective antagonist of mGluR5 with IC50 values in the nanomolar range for both rat and human receptors. By blocking mGluR5 activation, AZD2066 modulates glutamatergic signaling and has potential therapeutic applications in pain and neurological disorders.
ln Vitro
In mGlu5/HEK cells, striatum, hippocampal, and cortical cultures, AZD 2066 (1–10 μM) suppresses Ca2+ responses with IC50 values of 27.2±9.1, 3.56±0.52, 96.2±17.8, and 380±78.0 nM, respectively [2]. In mGlu5/HEK cells, AZD 2066 (1–10 μM) prevents the DHPG or Quis effect and suppresses the oscillatory Ca2+ response brought on by the bath solution [2]. Striatal neurons are poorly affected by AZD 2066 (1–10 μM) [2].
AZD2066 demonstrates potent in vitro activity as an mGluR5 antagonist. In mGlu5/HEK cells, the compound suppresses Ca2+ responses with an IC50 of 27.2 nM. In striatal cultures, AZD2066 shows an IC50 of 3.56 nM, while in hippocampal and cortical cultures, it exhibits IC50 values of 96.2 nM and 380 nM, respectively. The compound's potent mGluR5 antagonism makes it a valuable tool for studying the role of mGluR5 in glutamatergic signaling and its involvement in pain, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. AZD2066 inhibits transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) in animals and acid reflux.
ln Vivo
Rats treated orally with AZD 2066 (0.3–30 mg/kg) have distinct effects [1].
AZD2066 has been evaluated in vivo for its effects on pain and reflux. The compound is orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant, making it suitable for oral administration in animal studies. AZD2066 inhibits transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) in animals and acid reflux, showing potential for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The compound has been used in trials studying the treatment of pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and diabetic neuropathy. AZD2066 displays discriminative effects in rats. Detailed in vivo efficacy data, including specific model results and dosing regimens, are available in the primary literature.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro receptor binding and functional assay for AZD2066 measures the compound's affinity for and antagonism of the mGluR5 receptor. Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing human or rat mGluR5 receptors. Varying concentrations of AZD2066 are incubated with the membrane preparation and a radiolabeled mGluR5 ligand. The amount of bound radioligand is measured, and binding affinity is determined. For functional assays, cells expressing mGluR5 are loaded with a fluorescent calcium indicator and treated with varying concentrations of AZD2066 prior to stimulation with glutamate or a selective agonist. The inhibition of agonist-induced calcium influx is measured, and IC50 values are determined. The compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer. Appropriate positive controls and negative controls are included in each assay run.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cellular assay for AZD2066 is performed using cells expressing mGluR5, such as mGlu5/HEK cells, or primary neuronal cultures from striatum, hippocampus, or cortex. Cells are cultured in appropriate medium and treated with varying concentrations of AZD2066 or vehicle control (DMSO) prior to stimulation with glutamate or a selective mGluR5 agonist. Intracellular calcium levels are measured using fluorescent calcium indicators. The inhibition of agonist-induced calcium responses by AZD2066 is quantified, and IC50 values are determined by fitting dose-response curves (27.2 nM in mGlu5/HEK cells, 3.56 nM in striatal cultures, 96.2 nM in hippocampal cultures, and 380 nM in cortical cultures). The compound's effects on downstream signaling pathways can also be assessed.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rat (weight 240-250 grams) [1]
Doses: 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Po (60 minutes after administration)
Experimental Results:Caused Adequacy and dose-dependent response to AZD9272 is appropriate.
In vivo animal experiments with AZD2066 are conducted using rodent models of pain, reflux, or neurological disorders. AZD2066 is administered orally due to its oral bioavailability and brain penetration. For pain models, behavioral tests such as the formalin test, hot plate test, or neuropathic pain models are performed. For reflux studies, the compound's effects on transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) are assessed. The compound's effects on pain-related behaviors or reflux episodes are compared to vehicle-treated controls. Brain penetration is confirmed by measuring compound concentrations in brain tissue. Detailed experimental protocols, including dosing regimens and endpoints, are described in the primary literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for AZD2066 are not extensively documented in publicly available sources. The compound is described as orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant. AZD2066 has a molecular weight of 381.82 and a chemical formula of C19H16ClN5O2. The compound is soluble in DMSO for formulation purposes. For in vivo oral administration, AZD2066 is typically formulated using appropriate vehicles to ensure adequate solubility and stability. The compound should be stored under conditions recommended by the manufacturer to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Detailed PK parameters including half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and maximum concentration (Cmax) are available in the primary literature and should be consulted for specific experimental planning.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Comprehensive toxicological data for AZD2066 are not extensively documented in publicly available sources. As a research-grade compound, AZD2066 is intended for laboratory research purposes only and is not approved for human therapeutic use.
