Product Description
Lauflumide (BisfluoroModafinil) is a common alternative to Modafinil. Modafinil is extensively usedfor investigational narcolepsy. Lauflumide may be used to enhance cognitive abilities.
Lauflumide (CAS#: 90280-13-0), also known as bisfluoromodafinil, flmodafinil, or CRL-40,940, is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the benzhydryl sulfinylacetamide class. It is a structural analog of modafinil, a wakefulness-promoting agent used for the treatment of narcolepsy. Lauflumide is a research compound with potential for cognitive enhancement and may be used to enhance cognitive abilities. It is a high-purity solid intended for in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Lauflumide targets multiple receptors and transporters. It has α1B-AR agonist activity (adrenergic receptor alpha-1b) and acts as a central nervous system stimulant. It exhibits MOP (mu-opioid receptor) agonist activity, which may help mitigate opioid withdrawal symptoms while preventing full opioid reinforcement. It also has partial OX2R (orexin receptor 2) agonist activity, aiding in circadian rhythm regulation. Lauflumide also functions as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI).
ln Vitro
In vitro, lauflumide has been characterized for its receptor binding and transporter inhibition activities. Receptor binding assays reveal that lauflumide achieves potent dopaminergic activity without the systemic adrenergic liabilities associated with classical stimulants. It exhibits α1B-AR agonist activity, MOP agonist activity, and partial OX2R agonist activity. These activities suggest that lauflumide may have a unique pharmacological profile distinct from modafinil, with potential applications in cognitive enhancement and addiction research.
ln Vivo
In vivo, lauflumide is a wakefulness-promoting research compound structurally related to modafinil. It may be used to enhance cognitive abilities. Its primary industrial and research value lies in its superior potency, distinct metabolic profile, and targeted dopaminergic activity. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources. The compound is not approved for clinical use and is available only for research purposes.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for lauflumide typically involve screening against a panel of receptors and transporters to characterize its pharmacological profile. Radioligand binding assays are used to measure affinity for α1B-AR, MOP, OX2R, and dopamine transporter (DAT). Functional assays (e.g., cAMP accumulation, calcium flux, or GTPγS binding) are used to assess agonist or antagonist activity at these targets. Dopamine reuptake inhibition is assessed using synaptosomal uptake assays with radiolabeled dopamine.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for lauflumide involve culturing cells expressing the relevant receptors or transporters and treating them with the compound to assess functional activity. For α1B-AR activity, calcium flux or IP3 accumulation is measured. For MOP activity, cAMP accumulation or GTPγS binding is assessed. For OX2R activity, calcium flux or other downstream signaling is measured. For dopamine transporter inhibition, cells expressing DAT are used to measure uptake of radiolabeled dopamine. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for lauflumide would typically involve rodent models to assess wakefulness-promoting, cognitive-enhancing, or addiction-related effects. Standard protocols for wakefulness-promoting agents include the rat or mouse sleep/wake EEG/EMG model, where the compound is administered and sleep/wake parameters are monitored. For cognitive enhancement, models such as the Morris water maze or novel object recognition test may be used. For addiction research, models of opioid withdrawal or self-administration may be employed. No standardized protocol is available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of lauflumide have not been extensively characterized. As a structural analog of modafinil, it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and a favorable metabolic profile. Modafinil is well absorbed orally, reaches peak plasma concentrations in 2-4 hours, and has a half-life of approximately 12-15 hours. Lauflumide is expected to have a distinct metabolic profile compared to modafinil. No specific PK data are available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of lauflumide has not been systematically evaluated. As a research compound, it is not intended for human use. Modafinil and its analogs are generally well-tolerated, but can cause headache, nausea, nervousness, and insomnia. At high doses, they may cause cardiovascular effects or psychiatric symptoms. Standard toxicology assessments for lauflumide would include acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies in rodents, with endpoints including clinical signs, body weight, clinical pathology, and histopathology. No specific toxicity data are available.
