Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Rapidly absorbed in patients, having a time to maximum concentration (Tmax) ranging from 0.5 to 1 hour. The absolute bioavailability of lesopitron in rats was about 10%, suggesting an important first-pass effect. Metabolism / Metabolites Hepatic, the main metabolite being 5-hydroxylesopitron. Biological Half-Life 1.1 to 5.6 hours |

Additional Infomation |
Lesopitron is an anxiolytic with pre- and post-synaptic 5-HT1A agonist activity, which is under development by Esteve.
Drug Indication Intended for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Mechanism of Action Lesopitron acts as a ligand for central serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. Lesopitron inhibits haloperidol-induced catalepsy that is the consequence of its action on 5-HT1A autoreceptors. The ability of lesopitron to induce 5-HT syndrome reflects post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptor activation and the reversion of 8-OHDPAT-induced 5-HT syndrome by lesopitron suggests a partial agonist effect on this receptor-type. Lesopitron induced a hypothermic effect due to the enhanced activation of post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptors. The agonist effect of lesopitron on 5-HT1A receptors and its marked hypothermic effect is an added value for this drug and a stimulus to the study of its possible neuroprotective action. Pharmacodynamics In phase I trials in healthy volunteers, lesopitron was well tolerated in single doses up to 50 mg, and up to 45 mg/day in repeated doses. Lesopitron has negligible effects on alpha-adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors, and was more potent than structurally-related 5-HT1A agonists in rat social interaction and marmoset anxiety models. It also countered benzodiazepine withdrawal-induced anxiety in rodents. The acute toxicity of lesopitron is low and it does not potentiate the effects of alcohol or barbiturates. Long-term usage led to reductions in plasma glucose, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] Oral Formulations
Oral Formulation 1: Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) Oral Formulation 2: Suspend in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Example: Take the Oral Formulation 1 (Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na) as an example, if 100 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can first prepare 0.5% CMC Na solution by measuring 0.5 g CMC Na and dissolve it in 100 mL ddH2O to obtain a clear solution; then add 250 mg of the product to 100 mL 0.5% CMC Na solution, to make the suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

Preparing Stock Solutions | 1 mg | 5 mg | 10 mg | |
1 mM | 3.1170 mL | 15.5851 mL | 31.1701 mL | |
5 mM | 0.6234 mL | 3.1170 mL | 6.2340 mL | |
10 mM | 0.3117 mL | 1.5585 mL | 3.1170 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. 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.
Calculation results
