Product Description

Lu AF21934 is a novel, potent, selective and brain-penetrant positive allosteric modulator of mGlu4 receptors with an IC50 of 500 nM for human mGlu4. In rats, Lu AF21934 lessens harmaline-induced hyperactivity but not tremor. Lu AF21934's effects are 5-HT1A receptor-dependent. The development of novel antipsychotic medications that are effective against positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms may be facilitated by activation of the mGlu4 receptor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
mGlu4 Receptor ( EC50 = 7500 nM )
ln Vivo
Lu AF21934 treatment shows a dose-dependent anxiolytic-like effect in the stress-induced hyperthermia, four-plate, and marble-burying tests. Flumazenil (10 mg/kg), a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, inhibits Lu AF21934's (5 mg/kg) anti-hyperthermic effect in the SIH test. This effect is not serotonin dependent. In the tail suspension test, Lu AF21934 does not have antidepressant-like effects on mice; however, it does reduce the basal locomotor activity of mice that have not become accustomed to activity cages[1]. While Lu AF21934 (0.5–5 mg/kg sc) does not affect tremor, harmaline-induced hyperactivity is reversed at doses of 0.5 and 2.5 mg/kg. At a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, Lu AF21934 amplifies the first 30 minutes of the measurement's inhibitory effect of harmaline on AP1 and exploratory activity, and it offsets the harmaline-induced rise in basic activity over the next 30 to 90 minutes[2]. Hyperactivity brought on by MK-801 or amphetamine is dose-dependently inhibited by Lu AF21934 (0.1–5 mg/kg). It also makes head twitches more aggressive and raises the frequency of DOI-induced spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents in brain slices[3].
Animal Protocol
Rats: The 20% (2-hydropropyl)-b-cyclodextrin-dispersed Lu AF21934 is applied subcutaneously (s.c.) 60 minutes prior to the test. Acute administration of Lu AF21934 (2, 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg, s.c.) and diazepam (5 mg/kg, i.p.) occurs one hour prior to the Vogel's conflict test. In all experiments, groups of eight to ten animals are used to measure the effects of each drug[1].
Mice: Sixty minutes prior to the test, Lu AF21934 is applied subcutaneously (s.c.) after being diluted in 20% (2-hydropropyl)-b-cyclodextrin. The mice are inserted carefully into the box and given fifteen seconds to explore. Once the mouse has moved from one plate to another, the experimenter electrifies the entire floor, causing the mouse to visibly flee. No more shocks are given for the next three seconds if the animal keeps running[1].

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
