Melperone (Bunil; FG-5111) is a potent and butyrophenone-based antipsychotic drug and a neuroleptic, acting as an inhibitor of the CYP2D6 catalyzed O-demethylation of venlafaxine. It can be used for sleep induction which is frequently prescribed in psychiatric setting. It has also been used for a variety of other indications, including the treatment of schizophrenia, but also for agitation in the elderly.
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Oral doses are rapidly absorbed (Tmax 1.5–3.0 hours post oral ingestion). Excreted mainly in the urine, with small amounts of unchanged drug. Metabolism / Metabolites Mainly hepatic. Biological Half-Life Approximately 3-4 hours after oral administration. After intramuscular injection, the half-life has been found to be approximately 6 hours. |

| Additional Infomation |
1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methyl-1-piperidinyl)-1-butanone is an aromatic ketone.
Melperone is an atypical antipsychotic of the butyrophenone chemical class, making it structurally related to the typical antipsychotic haloperidol. Melperone has been used for a span of greater than 30 years in the European Union. It has been well established in the treatment of confusion, anxiety, restlessness (particularly in the elderly) and schizophrenia as It is known to be well-tolerated with an excellent safety profile. Recently, it has been studied as a treatment of psychosis related to Parkinson's disease. Drug Indication For the treatment of schizophrenia, sleep, disorders, agitation and mentally confused states. Mechanism of Action Melperone demonstrates antagonist activity at D2 dopaminergic and 5HT2A serotonergic receptors. It has a weak affinity to D2 receptors and possesses less risk of inducing dopamine receptor supersensitivity after both acute and chronic administration. In addition, the ratio of dopamine D4/D2 occupancy for melperone has been shown to resemble the binding profile of clozapine. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.90 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.90 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.90 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*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.

Working concentration： mg/mL；
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution： mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation:：Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O，mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
