Product Description
Linopirdine (DuP 996) is an orally bioactive, selective inhibitor of M-type K+ currents (IM; Kv7; KCNQ Channels) with IC50 of 2.4 μM. Linopirdine is a TRPV1 activator. Linopirdine is a molecule with a recognized cognitive-enhancing activity that increases the release of acetylcholine in rat brain tissue.
Linopirdine (CAS#: 105431-72-9) is a potent Kv7 (KCNQ) voltage-gated potassium channel blocker. It is also known as DUP-996 and Linopirine. Linopirdine blocks KV7.1+7.3 (KCNQ2+3)/M-currents (IC50 = 4-7 μM) and KV7.1 (KCNQ1) homomeric channels (IC50 = 8.9 μM). It is an orally active, selective M-type K+ current (IM; Kv7; KCNQ Channels) inhibitor. Linopirdine has been extensively studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly as a cognition enhancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Linopirdine targets voltage-gated potassium channels of the Kv7 (KCNQ) family. It is a potent blocker of these channels, particularly the M-type K+ current (IM) which is formed by KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 subunits. By blocking these channels, linopirdine enhances neuronal excitability and promotes neurotransmitter release, especially acetylcholine. It also acts as an agonist of the capsaicin receptor TRPV1.
ln Vitro
Linopirdine (DuP 996) suppresses IC with an IC50 of 16.3 μM, as assessed by moderate ultra-instantaneous tail current, or ImAHP. At 100 μM, linapirdine barely suppresses the slow levels of K+ leakage current (IL), transient outward current (IA), delay regulator (IK), and IAHP by 28, 37, 36, and 52%, in that order. Linopirdine (IC50>300 μM) essentially has no effect on the Na+/K+ mixed inward corrective current IQ[1]. An agonist of TRPV1 (transient transient potential vanilloid type 1) is linopirdine [3].
Linopirdine is a potent blocker of Kv7 channels with IC50 values of 4-7 μM for KCNQ2+3/M-currents and 8.9 μM for KCNQ1 homomeric channels. By inhibiting M-type K+ current, linopirdine increases acetylcholine release in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons. This mechanism is thought to underlie its potential as a cognition enhancer.
ln Vivo
Up to 15% of MAP is temporarily increased (10–15 minutes) by linopridine (DuP 996; IV; 0.1-6 mg/kg; escalating dose) and dose stress [2].
Linopirdine is active in vivo and has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications. As a putative cognition enhancer, it has been evaluated in animal models of cognitive impairment. It has also been studied for its potential in treating various neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, specific in vivo efficacy data is not detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro activity of Linopirdine is assessed using electrophysiological techniques. In these assays, cells expressing Kv7 channels (such as KCNQ2+3 or KCNQ1) are subjected to patch-clamp recording. The compound is applied at various concentrations, and its effect on the M-type potassium current is measured. IC50 values are calculated from the concentration-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are used to evaluate Linopirdine's activity. Cells expressing Kv7 channels are loaded with a voltage-sensitive dye or subjected to electrophysiological recording. The compound's ability to block potassium currents is measured. Additionally, its effect on neurotransmitter release can be assessed in neuronal cultures by measuring the release of acetylcholine or other neurotransmitters.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat (300-350) g)[2]
Doses: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 6 mg/kg
Route of Administration: 5 intravenous (iv) (iv)bolus injections, dose escalation
Experimental Results: Transient and dose Dependently increases MAP by up to 15%.
Linopirdine has been evaluated in animal models of cognitive impairment. In these studies, the compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally to rodents, and its effects on learning and memory are assessed using behavioral tests such as the Morris water maze or passive avoidance test. Its effects on neurotransmitter release in the brain can also be measured using microdialysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Linopirdine has a molecular weight of 391.47 and a molecular formula of C26H21N3O. The IUPAC name is 1-phenyl-3,3-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)indol-2-one. It is soluble in DMSO (10 mM). Powder should be stored at -20°C for up to 12 months, and in solvent at -80°C for 6 months or -20°C for 6 months. Purity is typically >98%.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Linopirdine is a research compound and its full toxicological profile is not detailed in the available literature. As a Kv7 channel blocker and putative cognition enhancer, its safety profile has been evaluated in preclinical studies. It has been used in animal studies at various doses without significant adverse effects reported. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
