Product Description
RTI-122 dihydrochloride is a selective, blood-brain barrier-crossing GPR88 agonist (cAMP EC50 = 11 nM), with EC50 values of 11.5 nM and 155 nM for human and mouse GPR88, respectively (measured by [35S]GTPγS). RTI-122 dihydrochloride significantly reduces binge drinking behavior, alcohol intake, and alcohol craving motivation by activating the GPR88 receptor and regulating the cAMP signaling pathway and G protein activity. RTI-122 dihydrochloride blocks the recurrence of alcohol craving behavior without affecting water or sucrose intake. RTI-122 dihydrochloride exhibits metabolic stability in mice (T1/2 = 5.8 h) and can be used to study alcohol use disorder.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
RTI-122 dihydrochloride effectively activated human GPR88 in CHO cells stably expressing PPLS-HA-GPR88, with an EC50 value of 10.8 nM for cAMP at 30 min; it also effectively activated the G protein signaling pathway of human GPR88 in the cell membrane of PPLS-HA-hGPR88-CHO cells, with an EC50 value of 11.5 nM for [35S]GTPγS at 60 min [1]. RTI-122 dihydrochloride (30 μM; 60 min) had no activity in the striatal membrane of GPR88 knockout mice, but it selectively activated endogenous mouse GPR88 in the striatal membrane of wild-type mice, with an EC50 value of 155 nM for [35S]GTPγS [1]. RTI-122 dihydrochloride showed good metabolic stability in mouse liver microsomes, with a half-life of 24.6 min and a clearance rate of 56.4 μL/min/mg [1]. RTI-122 dihydrochloride (10 μM; 90 min) has good blood-brain barrier penetration ability. In MDCK-MDR1 cell assay, its Papp value from the apex to the lateral base is 2.8 × 10⁻⁶ cm/s, and the efflux ratio is 2.5[1]. RTI-122 dihydrochloride (1 μM; 6 h) has a high binding rate of up to 99.5% to mouse plasma proteins[1].
ln Vivo
RTI-122 (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride significantly reduced binge drinking behavior in male C57BL/6J mice, with efficacy comparable to RTI-13951-33 at 30 mg/kg [1]. RTI-122 (10–20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride reduced spontaneous kinetic activity in male C57BL/6J mice in a dose-dependent manner. Both the 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg groups showed efficacy within 20 minutes of injection, while only the 20 mg/kg group showed efficacy within 20–40 minutes [2]. RTI-122 (10–20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride induced a specific reduction in alcohol intake in wild-type GPR88 mice. Both 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg doses were effective in male mice, while only the 20 mg/kg dose was effective in female mice [2]. RTI-122 (5–10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride dose-dependently reduced operant alcohol self-administration behavior in alcohol-loving male and female rats, but had no effect on sucrose self-administration, suggesting that it plays a regulatory role in alcohol-specific reward[2]. RTI-122 (2.5–10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride reduced the motivation of alcohol-loving male and female rats to self-administer pure alcohol and quinine-mixed alcohol[2]. RTI-122 (20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) dihydrochloride reduced yohimbine-induced alcohol craving behavior in male and female alcohol-loving rats and inhibited relapse of alcohol self-administration in both sexes at doses of 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg[2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:C57BL/6J (male, 8-9 weeks old) [1]
Doses: 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Compared with the saline control group, it significantly reduced binge-drinking alcohol intake, with an effect comparable to that of the reference compound RTI-13951-33 at a dose of 30 mg/kg. It had no effect on water intake.
Animal/Disease Models:C57BL/6J (male, 3-5 months old, 25-35 g) [2]
Doses: 2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg; 20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Spontaneous movement decreased in a dose-dependent manner within the first 20 minutes after injection, with the effects being particularly pronounced in the 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg dose groups. During the 20-40 minute period, a decrease in movement was observed only in the 20 mg/kg dose group. No effect on movement was observed during the 40-60 minute period.
Animal/Disease Models:Alcohol-Addicted Mice (P) (Male and Female) [2]
Doses: 2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; Single dose
Experimental Results: Alcohol lever response was reduced, with the reduction being particularly significant at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses. Alcohol intake was reduced, with the reduction being particularly significant at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses. In the alcohol self-administration test, the 10 mg/kg dose group had a reduced movement frequency. There was no effect on sucrose lever response or sucrose intake. In the sucrose self-administration test, the 10 mg/kg dose group had a reduced movement frequency. In the seeking phase, the 20 mg/kg dose group had a reduced lever response. At both 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg doses, the lever response was reduced in the restart phase. During the search phase, the movement frequency decreased at both dosages.
