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 (peak absorption time 1.5–3.0 hours after oral administration). Primarily excreted in the urine, with a small amount excreted unchanged. Metabolism/Metabolites Primarily metabolized in the liver. Biological Half-Life Approximately 3–4 hours after oral administration. After intramuscular injection, the half-life is approximately 6 hours. |

| Additional Infomation |
1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methyl-1-piperidinyl)-1-butanone is an aromatic ketone. Meperone is an atypical antipsychotic, belonging to the butyrophenone class of compounds, and its structure is related to that of the typical antipsychotic haloperidol. Meperone has been used in the EU for over 30 years. It has been widely used to treat confusion, anxiety, agitation (especially in the elderly), and schizophrenia, and has good tolerability and safety. Recently, it has been investigated for the treatment of psychotic symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. Drug Indications For the treatment of schizophrenia, sleep disorders, agitation, and confused states. Mechanism of Action Meperone has antagonistic activity against D2 dopaminergic receptors and 5HT2A serotonergic receptors. It has a weak affinity for D2 receptors, resulting in a low risk of inducing dopamine receptor hypersensitivity after acute or chronic administration. Furthermore, studies have shown that the dopamine D4/D2 receptor occupancy of meperone is similar to the binding characteristics 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.
