EC50: 5 nM (hM3Dq DREADD); 0.5 nM (hM4Di DREADD)[1]
hM3Dq and hM4Di DREADD (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs) receptors. JHU37152 is a potent and selective agonist at these engineered G protein-coupled receptors. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
With Kis of 1.8 nM and 8.7 nM for hM3Dq and hM4Di expressed in mouse brain slices, respectively, JHU37152 exhibits strong DREADD affinity[1]. [3H]Clozapine displacement from DREADDs is selectively displaced by JHU37152 (1-1000 nM), but not from other Clozapine-binding sites[1].
JHU37152 is a potent DREADD agonist with EC50 values of 5 nM for hM3Dq and 0.5 nM for hM4Di in HEK-293 cell-based assays. It exhibits high binding affinity with Ki values of 1.8 nM for hM3Dq and 8.7 nM for hM4Di. The compound displaces [3H]clozapine from DREADDs, confirming its specific interaction with these engineered receptors. No responses are observed in untransfected HEK-293 cells, demonstrating its selectivity for DREADD receptors over endogenous targets. |
| ln Vivo |
In mice and rats, JHU37152 (0.1 mg/kg; ip) shows strong DREADD occupancy[1]. Without significantly affecting WT mice's locomotor activity, JHU37152 (0.01–1 mg/kg; ip) specifically suppresses locomotor activity in D1–hM3Dq and D1–hM4Di mice[1].
In vivo, JHU37152 exhibits high DREADD occupancy in mice and rats at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (i.p.). At doses ranging from 0.01 to 1 mg/kg (i.p.), the compound selectively inhibits locomotor activity in D1-hM3Dq and D1-hM4Di mice. The compound exhibits selective [3H]clozapine displacement from DREADDs in brain tissue from wild-type and D1-DREADD mice. JHU37152 has been used in combination with PET imaging using [18F]JHU37107 to allow for DREADD detection in locally-targeted neurons. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays are performed to determine the affinity of JHU37152 for hM3Dq and hM4Di DREADD receptors. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the DREADD receptors are conducted. The compound's ability to displace [3H]clozapine from the receptors is measured to calculate its Ki values. The selectivity of JHU37152 for DREADD receptors over endogenous targets is confirmed by testing its activity in untransfected cells.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using HEK-293 cells expressing hM3Dq or hM4Di DREADD receptors. The cells are treated with varying concentrations of JHU37152, and receptor activation is measured by assessing downstream signaling events such as calcium mobilization in fluorescent assays or BRET-based assays. The EC50 values are determined from the concentration-response curves. No responses are observed in untransfected HEK-293 cells, confirming the selectivity of the compound.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies are conducted in rodent models to evaluate the pharmacological effects of DREADD activation using JHU37152. The compound is typically administered via intraperitoneal injection at doses ranging from 0.01 to 1 mg/kg. Its effects on locomotor activity are assessed in D1-hM3Dq and D1-hM4Di mice. DREADD occupancy is measured in brain tissue to confirm target engagement. The compound has also been used in combination with PET imaging for DREADD detection in vivo.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
JHU37152 is a brain-penetrant compound that exhibits high in vivo DREADD potency. The compound's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and its high DREADD occupancy in the brain have been demonstrated in mice and rats. Brain and serum concentrations and ratios of JHU37152 have been characterized in mice at different time points after a 0.1 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection. These data support its use as a potent and efficacious DREADD agonist for in vivo neuroscience research.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for JHU37152. As a DREADD agonist, its toxicity profile is expected to be related to its mechanism of action, which depends on the specific DREADD receptor being activated. The compound shows no activity in untransfected cells, suggesting low off-target toxicity. Standard safety assessments would be required for any therapeutic development.
