| Targets |
Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1). RO 5212773 (EPPTB) acts as a selective antagonist for mouse TAAR1, with a reported Ki of 0.9 nM and an IC50 of 28 nM. It has no significant effects on other TAAR subtypes, making it a highly specific tool for studying TAAR1-mediated pathways.

| ln Vitro |
Hippocampal pyramidal neurons' excitability is inhibited by Ro 5212773 (EPPTB). Additionally, EPPTB lowers seizure activity and epileptiform events (SLE) [1]. Inward rectifier K+ current activation mediated by TAAR1 is blocked by Ro 5212773 [2]. 1.5 μM β-phenylethylamine (IC50=27.5 nM) potently inhibits the production of cAMP induced by mouse TAAR1 activation. This is achieved by Ro 5212773. In the absence of TAAR1 agonist, Ro 5212773 dose-dependently lowers cAMP levels in HEK293 cells (IC50= 19 nM). Compared to rat (IC50= 4539 nM) and human (IC50= 7487 nM) TAAR1, EPPTB significantly more effectively inhibits the production of cAMP in mice [2].
In a cell-based assay using HEK293 cells expressing mouse TAAR1, EPPTB potently antagonizes cAMP production induced by the non-selective TAAR1 agonist beta-phenylethylamine with an IC50 of 27.5 nM. It also blocks the reduction of dopamine (DA) neuron firing frequency induced by the TAAR1 agonist p-tyramine, confirming its functional antagonist activity. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, EPPTB effectively prevents the reduction in the firing frequency of dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) induced by the TAAR1 agonist p-tyramine. This demonstrates its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and act on central TAAR1 targets. It may be a promising target for studying neurodegenerative disorders.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A standard competitive binding assay is performed. Membranes from cells expressing mouse TAAR1 are incubated with a high-affinity radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [3H]RO5212773) and varying concentrations of unlabeled EPPTB. Bound and free ligands are separated by filtration, and the Ki value is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
A functional cAMP assay is performed. HEK293 cells stably expressing mouse TAAR1 are seeded in 96-well plates. Cells are pre-incubated with EPPTB, then stimulated with a selective TAAR1 agonist. After cell lysis, intracellular cAMP levels are quantified using a HTRF or chemiluminescence-based immunoassay to determine the antagonist's IC50.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For electrophysiological studies, male C57BL/6J mice are used. EPPTB is dissolved in a suitable vehicle and administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) or intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection. In vivo extracellular recordings of dopamine neuron firing in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are performed to assess the compound's ability to reverse the effects of a TAAR1 agonist.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
EPPTB is described as having good bioavailability in vivo and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, as demonstrated by its central effects on dopamine neuron firing. However, no specific numerical PK parameters (e.g., t1/2, Cmax) have been reported in the available literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Not reported. As a research tool, no formal toxicology data is available. However, it is considered a "useful tool for probing the physiologic role of TAAR1" and its effects are well-tolerated in standard animal study protocols.

| Additional Infomation |
RO 5212773 (EPPTB) is a pivotal compound in TAAR1 research. TAAR1 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is activated by various endogenous trace amines and is a promising drug target for psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and addiction. EPPTB's discovery allowed researchers to delineate TAAR1-specific functions from other monoamine systems, revealing its role as a key regulator of dopamine and glutamate neurotransmission.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
