Neurotensin receptor (NTR). SR 142948 dihydrochloride acts as a high-affinity antagonist for both neurotensin receptor subtypes. It demonstrates IC50s of 1.19 nM in h-NTR1-CHO cells, 0.32 nM in HT-29 cells, and 3.96 nM in adult rat brain membranes. The compound recognizes the two binding sites described for the NT receptor.

| ln Vitro |
SR 142948 (90 minutes; 1 µM) In CHO-hNT1-R cells, dihydrochloride suppresses the expression of c-fos and krox24 [1]. With IC50s of 1.19 and 0.32 nM, respectively, SR 142948 (0-1 µM; 1 hour) dihydrochloride demonstrates good antagonistic activity by preventing the binding of [125I-Tyr3]NT to h-NTR1-CHO and HT 29 cell membranes [2]. In h-NTR1-CHO and HT 29 cells, SR 142948 (0-1 µM; 30 min) dihydrochloride antagonistically inhibits NT-stimulated IP1 synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner [2]. In h-NTR1-CHO cells, SR 142948 (1, 10 nM; 60-80 sec) dihydrochloride inhibits NT-stimulated intracellular calcium mobilization [2].
In vitro, SR 142948 dihydrochloride potently antagonizes NT-induced inositol monophosphate formation in HT-29 cells (IC50 = 3.9 nM) and inhibits NT-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO cells expressing the human receptor. At an i.p. dose of 0.1 mg/kg, it completely antagonizes NT-evoked acetylcholine release in the rat striatum. |
| ln Vivo |
SR 142948 (oral, single-dose, 2 µg/kg) Turning behavior elicited by NT (10 pg/mouse) is inhibited by dihydrochloride [2]. SR 142948 (i.p.; single dose; 0.01–0.03, 0.3 mg/kg) In a dose-dependent manner, dihydrochloride inhibits the increased ACh release generated by NT (100 nM) [2]. NT-induced hypothermia is slightly but significantly blocked by SR 142948 (90–10 mg/kg; PO; single dose) dihydrochloride (53% in rats at 2 mg/kg and 54% in mice at 4 mg/kg) [ 2].
In vivo, SR 142948 dihydrochloride dose-dependently inhibits turning behavior induced by unilateral intrastriatal injection of NT in mice at an oral dose range of 0.04-640 × 10^{-3} mg/kg. In contrast to some earlier antagonists, it also blocks both hypothermia and analgesia induced by i.c.v. injection of NT in mice and rats, demonstrating a superior in vivo antagonistic profile and good brain access. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Membrane preparations from h-NTR1-CHO cells, HT-29 cells, or adult rat brain are prepared. [3H]NT (1 nM) or [¹2⁵I-Tyr3]NT is incubated with increasing concentrations of SR 142948 (0-1000 nM) in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA) for 60 min at 25degC. Non-specific binding is determined with 1 uM unlabeled NT. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration through GF/C filters, and IC₅0 values are calculated via non-linear regression.
|
| Cell Assay |
HT-29 cells are pre-incubated with 10 mM LiCl for 30 min. Then, SR 142948 dihydrochloride (1-100 nM) is added with or without 100 nM NT for an additional 30 min. The reaction is terminated by adding perchloric acid. The total inositol monophosphate (IP1) is extracted by ion-exchange chromatography and quantified using a [3H]inositol assay. The IC₅0 for antagonizing NT-induced IP1 accumulation is calculated from a dose-response curve.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Female Swiss albino CD1 mice (25-30 g; intrastriatal injection of 10 pg/mouse NT)[2]
Doses: 2 µg/kg Route of Administration: Oral administration; single Experimental Results: Inhibited the turning behavior with maximal and significant antagonism between 1-2 h after administration. Behavioral testing in male Swiss albino CD1 mice: Mice are injected intrastriatally with NT (2 ug). Turning behavior is recorded 2 min later for 5 min. SR 142948 dihydrochloride is administered orally (0.04-640 × 10^{-3} mg/kg) 1-2 h before the NT injection. The number of turns is counted. A compound is considered an antagonist if it significantly and dose-dependently reduces the number of turns. For hypothermia studies, body temperature is measured using a rectal probe. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
SR 142948 dihydrochloride is orally bioavailable and has a long duration of action in vivo. After oral administration in mice, it shows a dose-dependent inhibition of NT-induced turning behavior. The compound exhibits good brain access, enabling it to block centrally mediated effects like hypothermia and analgesia. It has a plasma half-life suitable for in vivo pharmacological studies, with effects observed up to 2-4 hours post-administration.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
SR 142948 dihydrochloride is used for research only and not for human use. At therapeutic doses, it shows no intrinsic agonist activity, and its pharmacological profile is clean, with effects specific to NT receptor antagonism. However, as with any CNS-active compound, potential off-target effects at high concentrations cannot be excluded. Standard safety precautions for handling research chemicals should be followed.
