| Targets |
MCOPPB targets the N/OFQ peptide (NOP) receptor (also known as ORL1 receptor). Binding affinities (Ki): hNOP 0.0858 nM, human μ-opioid receptor 1.052 nM, human κ-opioid receptor 23.1 nM, human δ-opioid receptor >667 nM [1].
Functional activities (EC50 for [35S]GTPγS binding): hNOP 0.39 nM (Emax=140%), μ 34 nM (Emax=30%), κ 80 nM (Emax=43%), δ 4596 nM (Emax=79%) [1]. Selectivity ratios: μ/hNOP=12.26, κ/hNOP=269, δ/hNOP>7770 [1]. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MCOPPB showed potent in vitro binding affinity to human NOP receptor with Ki = 0.0858 nM, and potent functional agonism with EC50 = 0.39 nM and Emax = 140% (relative to N/OFQ) in [35S]GTPγS binding assay. It exhibited high selectivity over μ, κ, and δ opioid receptors (Ki values 1.052 nM, 23.1 nM, and >667 nM respectively; EC50 values 34 nM, 80 nM, and 4596 nM respectively). The compound acted as a full NOP agonist with greater maximal effect than N/OFQ. [1]
|
| ln Vivo |
MCOPPB demonstrated high oral NOP receptor occupancy in mouse brain: 53 ± 5.9% at 10 mg/kg po after 1 hour (ex vivo displacement of [3H]N/OFQ binding). It also showed significant oral anxiolytic efficacy in the Vogel anticonflict test in mice at a minimum effective dose of 10 mg/kg po. [1]

| Enzyme Assay |
The NOP receptor binding assay was performed using human NOP receptor-expressing HEK-293 cell membranes. Membranes (8.3 μg) were incubated with 0.4 nM [3H]N/OFQ, 1.0 mg WGA-SPA beads, and six different concentrations of test compound (10^-11 to 10^-5 M, 10-fold) in 0.2 mL of 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10 mM MgCl2 for 45 min at 22°C. Non-specific binding was determined with 1 μM unlabeled N/OFQ. After centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 1 min, radioactivity was measured by a liquid scintillation counter. IC50 values were calculated by nonlinear regression, and Ki values were calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation: Ki = IC50/(1+[L]/KD). The KD for [3H]N/OFQ was 0.135 nM. [1]
The [35S]GTPγS functional assay was performed using human NOP, μ, κ, or δ receptor-expressing cell membranes. Membranes (same amount as for binding assays) were suspended in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 5 μM GDP, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.4). They were incubated with 0.4 nM [35S]GTPγS, 1.5 mg WGA-SPA beads, and various concentrations of test compound in 0.2 mL total volume for 30 min at 22°C. Non-specific binding was assessed with 10 μM unlabeled GTPγS. Agonist-stimulated binding was determined as the difference between total binding in the presence of compound and basal binding in the absence of compound. EC50 (potency) and Emax (efficacy, as % of control agonist maximum) were calculated by nonlinear regression. Control agonists: N/OFQ for NOP, DAMGO for μ, enadoline for κ, DPDPE for δ. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
For ex vivo NOP occupancy study: Male ddY mice (5-6 weeks) were deprived of water for 24 h, then given MCOPPB orally at 10 mg/kg (suspended in 0.1% methylcellulose solution, volume 0.1 mL/10 g body weight). After 1 h, whole brains were removed; cerebellum and medulla were discarded. Brain tissues were homogenized in ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM MgCl2, and 320 mM sucrose. Homogenates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min, supernatants combined and centrifuged at 38,000×g for 30 min. Pellets were resuspended and centrifuged again, then final pellets suspended in buffer containing 320 mM sucrose. Membranes (160 μg protein) were incubated with 0.3 nM [3H]N/OFQ in 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) with 1 mM EDTA and 10 mM MgCl2 for 30 min at 25°C. Reaction was terminated by rapid filtration through glass fiber filters, and radioactivity measured. Specific binding was determined by subtracting binding in presence of 1 μM N/OFQ. All assays in triplicate. Occupancy was calculated as % displacement of specific [3H]N/OFQ binding compared to vehicle control. [1]
For Vogel anticonflict test: Mice were given MCOPPB orally at 10 mg/kg (minimum effective dose), and significant anticonflict activity was observed. Detailed protocol not provided in this article. [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
MCOPPB demonstrated brain penetration after oral administration. In an ex vivo binding study in mice, oral administration of MCOPPB at 10 mg/kg resulted in 53 ± 5.9% inhibition of NOP receptor specific binding in the brain 1 hour post-dose. No other pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., half-life, oral bioavailability, clearance, volume of distribution) were reported in this study. [1]
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
At the anxiolytic dose (10 mg/kg p.o.), MCOPPB did not cause locomotor impairment, memory deficits, or ethanol-induced hypnosis. [1]
At a higher dose (30 mg/kg p.o.), MCOPPB still did not impair memory or induce ethanol interaction; however, at 50 mg/kg p.o., a non-significant decrease in locomotor activity was observed and significant enhancement of ethanol-induced hypnosis occurred (4/8 mice, p<0.05). [1] No myorelaxant, ataxic, or sedative effects were noted at anxiolytic doses. Diazepam, in contrast, produced memory deficits and enhanced ethanol-induced hypnosis. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
MCOPPB is a novel non-peptide NOP receptor full agonist developed as an orally potent anxiolytic. It was identified through structure-activity relationship studies of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives. The compound possesses favorable physicochemical properties for brain penetration: molecular weight 408.62, TPSA 33.09 Ų, ACDlogD7.4 2.57, hydrogen bond donors 1, acceptors 3, rotatable bonds 3. It shows differentiation from benzodiazepine anxiolytics (e.g., diazepam) in terms of potential side effects. Further pharmacological characterization and comparisons with diazepam are reported elsewhere (Hayashi et al., 2006; Hirao et al., 2008). [1]
