| Targets |
M40 targets galanin receptor type 1 (GAL1-R) and galanin receptor type 2 (GAL2-R). It acts as a potent, non-selective antagonist at these receptors. Ki values are 1.82 nM at GAL1 and 5.1 nM at GAL2. The peptide has no effect on chow or fat intake.

| ln Vitro |
Mono[125IJodo-Tyr26]galanin is displaced from binding sites in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and spinal cord by M40 (1 μM). For all membranes, M40 has a lower affinity than galanin. In the hippocampus, 15 nM in the hypothalamus, 12 nM in the spinal cord, and 3 nM in the insulinoma cells were the IC50 values. M40 (1 μM) totally inhibits the binding site of galanin tagged with 125I [1].
In vitro, M40 (1 microM) displaces [mono[¹2⁵I]Iodo-Tyr2⁶]galanin from binding sites in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and spinal cord. It has a lower affinity than galanin for all membranes. M40 inhibits galanin (1-29) binding in rat brain with an IC₅0 of 3-15 nM. Ki values are 1.82 nM at GAL1 and 5.1 nM at GAL2. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, M40 decreases food intake, ethanol consumption, and reproductive behavior. The peptide exhibits anxiolytic activity in elevated plus maze and social interaction tasks and suppresses defensive burying behavior in animal models of anxiety. It is a potent galanin receptor antagonist with anorexigenic and anxiolytic activities.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro receptor binding assay for galanin receptors uses membrane preparations from rat brain (hippocampus, hypothalamus, spinal cord) or cells expressing GAL1 and GAL2 receptors. Competitive binding is performed using [mono[¹2⁵I]Iodo-Tyr2⁶]galanin as the radioligand in the presence of varying concentrations of M40. Bound radioactivity is measured by filtration and gamma counting. Ki and IC₅0 values are calculated from competition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell-based assays, cells expressing galanin receptor subtypes (GAL1 or GAL2) are cultured and treated with M40 at various concentrations. Receptor antagonism is assessed by measuring inhibition of galanin-mediated signaling (such as cAMP modulation or calcium mobilization). Experiments are typically performed in triplicate under standard culture conditions.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for M40 typically involve rodent models to assess food intake, anxiety, and reproductive behavior. The peptide is administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) or intraperitoneal injection at various doses. Food intake and ethanol consumption are measured. Anxiety-like behavior is assessed using elevated plus maze, social interaction, and defensive burying tests. Reproductive behavior may also be monitored.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of M40 are not extensively documented. As a peptide with sequence Gwtlnsagyllgpppalala-conh2, it has limited oral bioavailability and is typically administered via injection. The peptide is soluble in aqueous buffers and DMSO. Storage at -20degC is recommended. Further detailed PK parameters would require dedicated studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for M40 are not well characterized. As a research peptide, standard safety precautions should be observed. The compound is for laboratory use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Peptide-based research compounds generally have favorable safety profiles but may have immunogenicity risks. Comprehensive toxicity profiling would be required for therapeutic development.
