Product Description
GR 55562 (diHCl) is a selective 5-HT1B receptor blocker (antagonist). GR 55562 can be used for research on neurological diseases.
GR 55562 dihydrochloride (CAS 159533-25-2) is a selective antagonist of the 5-HT₁B and 5-HT₁D serotonin receptors. It is the dihydrochloride salt form of GR 55562, a compound used in pharmacological research to study the role of 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors in various physiological and pathological processes. GR 55562 is known for its high affinity and selectivity for 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors, making it a valuable tool for investigating serotonergic neurotransmission and its involvement in conditions such as migraine, depression, and anxiety.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GR 55562 targets 5-HT₁B and 5-HT₁D serotonin receptors as a selective antagonist. It binds with high affinity to these receptors, blocking the effects of endogenous serotonin. By antagonizing 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors, GR 55562 modulates serotonergic neurotransmission and has been used to study the role of these receptors in various central nervous system functions including regulation of mood, anxiety, pain perception, and vasoconstriction. The compound is often used to differentiate 5-HT₁B/₁D receptor-mediated effects from those mediated by other serotonin receptor subtypes.
ln Vitro
In vitro, GR 55562 demonstrates high affinity binding to 5-HT₁B and 5-HT₁D receptors in radioligand binding assays. It effectively blocks serotonin-induced activation of these receptors, inhibiting downstream signaling pathways such as inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The compound has been used in functional assays to characterize the pharmacological profile of 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors and to differentiate their roles from other serotonin receptor subtypes. Selectivity studies have confirmed its specificity for 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors.
ln Vivo
In the accumbens region, GR 55562 (0.1–10 μg/side) does not cause a cocaine lever response [1]. The enlightening effects of cocaine are considerably disrupted when GR 55562 (0.1-10 μg/side) (in the nucleus accumbens shell or core) fails to modify it [1].
In vivo, GR 55562 has been used in animal models to investigate the role of 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors in migraine, depression, and anxiety. It modulates serotonergic neurotransmission in various brain regions. The compound has been instrumental in understanding the mechanisms of action of triptan drugs used for migraine treatment, which act as 5-HT₁B/₁D receptor agonists. GR 55562 has also been studied for its effects on cardiovascular function and pain perception.
Enzyme Assay
Radioligand binding assays: Membranes from cells expressing 5-HT₁B or 5-HT₁D receptors are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [³H]-GR 125743 or [³H]-5-HT) and GR 55562 at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 nM). Binding affinity (Kᵢ) is calculated from displacement curves. Selectivity is assessed by testing against other serotonin receptor subtypes and unrelated receptors.
Cell Assay
Cells expressing recombinant 5-HT₁B/₁D receptors (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells) are cultured in appropriate media. For functional assays, cells are pre-incubated with GR 55562 and then stimulated with serotonin. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation using ELISA or HTRF-based detection kits. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats (280-300 g; n=50)[1] ].
Doses: 0.1-10 μg/side.
Route of Administration: intracranial injection; volume 0.2 µl/side.
Experimental Results: No intravesicular shell infusion drug induced Substitution. Did not Dramatically affect the discriminative stimulus effects produced by 5 mg/kg cocaine. GR 55562 (1 µg/side) attenuated the cumulative intra-core CP 93129 (1 µg/side) and systemic cocaine (1.25 mg/kg or 2.5 mg/kg ) combination-induced enhancement of cocaine discrimination.
In vivo studies are conducted in rodent models. GR 55562 is administered via intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or intracerebroventricular injection at specified doses. Behavioral tests (e.g., elevated plus maze for anxiety, forced swim test for depression, and migraine models) are performed. Microdialysis is used to measure neurotransmitter levels in brain regions. Cardiovascular parameters are monitored in relevant models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
GR 55562 dihydrochloride is a selective 5-HT₁B/₁D receptor antagonist with high affinity (pKᵢ values typically in the low nanomolar range). It is soluble in DMSO and water. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions and is suitable for both in vitro and in vivo pharmacological research. Detailed physicochemical properties are available from chemical suppliers.
