Product Description
PQ-10 is a potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) with IC50 and ED50s of 4.6 nM and 13 mg/kg, respectively. PQ-10 induces brain glucose metabolism patterns, which may be a potential translational biomarker. PQ-10 may be used for studying psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia.
PQ-10 is a potent, selective, and brain-penetrant inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A). It is a small-molecule compound used in research focused on psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. The compound induces patterns of brain glucose metabolism that can serve as a potential translational biomarker for PDE10A inhibition. PQ-10 also suppresses the growth of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, suggesting broader applications in oncology research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A), an enzyme that hydrolyzes both cAMP and cGMP. PQ-10 is a potent inhibitor of PDE10A with an IC50 of 4.6 nM and an ED50 of 13 mg/kg. It has a Ki of 4 nM and displays 53-fold and 68-fold selectivity over PDE3A and PDE3B, respectively. The compound shows >38-fold selectivity for PDE10 over a panel of 60 CNS-associated receptors, enzymes, and ion channels.
ln Vitro
PQ-10 potently inhibits PDE10A with an IC50 of 4.6 nM and a Ki of 4 nM. The compound suppresses the growth of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. It induces patterns of brain glucose metabolism, which can be measured using 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake. PQ-10 shows region-specific increases in 2-DG absorption in the mouse lateral habenula and globus pallidus, indicating its effects on specific brain regions.
ln Vivo
PQ-10 demonstrates region-specific increases in 2-DG absorption in the mouse lateral habenula and globus pallidus, the outer portion corresponding to the globus pallidus in primates [1].
PQ-10 demonstrates region-specific increases in 2-DG absorption in the mouse lateral habenula and globus pallidus, corresponding to the globus pallidus in primates. The compound has an ED50 of 13 mg/kg for its in vivo effects. It has been shown to enhance basic auditory information processing in rats. PQ-10 induces patterns of brain glucose metabolism that may serve as a potential translational biomarker for PDE10A inhibition.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme inhibition assay for PQ-10 typically involves measuring the phosphodiesterase activity of recombinant PDE10A using a standard enzymatic assay. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate (cAMP or cGMP) and the test compound at various concentrations. The hydrolysis product is quantified using a coupled enzyme assay or HPLC, and the IC50 or Ki value is determined from the dose-response curve. Selectivity is assessed by testing the compound against other PDE isoforms.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cellular assay for PQ-10 typically involves culturing cells that express PDE10A, such as neuronal cell lines or cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound, and the levels of cAMP or cGMP are measured using ELISA or other immunoassays. The inhibition of PDE10A activity is assessed by the increase in cyclic nucleotide levels. Cell proliferation assays can also be performed to assess the compound's antiproliferative effects.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 24 –28 g male C57BL/6 mice, PDE10A WT and KO mice [1]
Doses: 0.16, 0.63, 2.5 and 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection
Experimental Results: Area showing 2-DG uptake Specific increases in the globus pallidus (the outer segment equivalent to the globus pallidus in primates) and the lateral habenula in mice.
In vivo animal studies for PQ-10 typically involve the use of rodent models to assess its effects on brain glucose metabolism and behavioral outcomes. Mice or rats are administered the compound via appropriate routes (e.g., oral or intraperitoneal) at doses such as 13 mg/kg. Brain glucose metabolism is assessed using 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake or positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Behavioral tests are performed to evaluate the compound's effects on schizophrenia-like symptoms or other psychiatric disorders.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PQ-10 is brain-penetrant with favorable pharmacokinetic properties. It has an ED50 of 13 mg/kg. The compound has a molecular weight of 403.43 g/mol and a molecular formula of C22H21N5O3. It shows good solubility and stability for in vivo studies. The compound induces patterns of brain glucose metabolism that can serve as a translational biomarker. Further detailed PK parameters are available from the manufacturer's data sheets.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicology data for PQ-10 are not extensively reported in the public domain. The compound is intended for research use only and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. In preclinical studies, the compound has been administered at various doses without reported severe toxicity. Comprehensive toxicity studies would be required before any clinical application.
