Product Description
NSI-189, benzylpiperazine-aminopyridine, is a multi-domain neurogenic compound with brain therapeutic properties. NSI-189 can stimulate neurogenesis in human hippocampus-derived neural stem cells in vitro and in mouse hippocampus in vivo. NSI-189 may be utilized in research on psychiatric disorders.
NSI-189 (CAS#: 1270138-40-3) is an orally active benzylpiperazine-aminopyridine derivative with neurogenic activity, also known as Amdiglurax or ALTO-100. It is a nootropic research chemical derived from nicotinamide and pyrazine, developed to stimulate hippocampal neurogenesis. NSI-189 has shown potential for treating psychiatric disorders, including depression and neurodegenerative diseases, by promoting the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus. It upregulates neurogenic factors such as BDNF and SCF, enhances synaptic plasticity, and reduces cognitive dysfunction.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary mechanism of NSI-189 involves the stimulation of neurogenesis in the hippocampus. It indirectly modulates BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and SCF (stem cell factor). Additionally, NSI-189 has been reported to exhibit antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and inhibitory effects on human HDAC6 enzyme. Its unique mechanism of action makes it a promising candidate for conditions related to hippocampal dysfunction.
ln Vitro
In vitro, NSI-189 has been shown to stimulate neurogenesis of human hippocampus-derived neural stem cells. It enhances cell proliferation and neurogenesis in primary rat hippocampal neurons. At a concentration of 10 µM after 48 hours, it inhibits cytotoxicity in Caco-2 and VERO-6 cells with inhibition rates of 8.05% and -0.14%, respectively.
ln Vivo
In vivo, NSI-189 stimulates neurogenesis in the murine hippocampus. It has been shown to increase the hippocampal volume of healthy adult mice by 20%. Oral administration of NSI-189 exhibits antidepressant effects and enhances synaptic plasticity in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays (non-cell-based) for NSI-189 typically involve radioligand binding or fluorescence polarization techniques to assess its interaction with potential targets like BDNF receptors or HDAC6. Competitive binding assays are performed using purified enzyme preparations or receptor proteins, with IC50 values determined through dose-response curves. While specific protocols for NSI-189 are not extensively detailed in public literature, standard biochemical assay formats using recombinant proteins and fluorescent or radioactive substrates are applicable.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for NSI-189 commonly utilize human hippocampus-derived neural stem cells or primary rat hippocampal neurons to evaluate neurogenesis and cell proliferation. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of NSI-189, and neurogenesis is assessed via immunocytochemistry for neuronal markers (e.g., βIII-tubulin, NeuN) and proliferation markers (e.g., BrdU incorporation). Cytotoxicity is evaluated in Caco-2 and VERO-6 cells using standard cell viability assays such as MTT or CCK-8.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for NSI-189 are conducted in murine models, where the compound is administered orally to assess its effects on hippocampal neurogenesis and volume. Adult healthy mice receive NSI-189 treatment, followed by histological analysis of hippocampal tissue to measure neurogenesis and volume changes. Behavioral tests, such as the forced swim test and tail suspension test, are used to evaluate antidepressant-like effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of NSI-189 indicate it is orally active with good bioavailability. It is soluble in DMSO at concentrations up to 110 mg/mL. The compound is typically administered orally, and its distribution includes the central nervous system, given its effects on hippocampal neurogenesis. For storage, the powder should be kept at -20°C, and stock solutions should be stored at -80°C for up to 6 months or at -20°C for up to 1 month.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological information for NSI-189 is primarily derived from preclinical studies. It has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in animal models at therapeutic doses, with no severe adverse effects reported in available literature. The compound's safety for human use has not been established, as it is currently a research chemical not approved for clinical application. Standard toxicological assessments, including acute and repeated-dose toxicity studies, would be required for clinical development.
