Product Description
Octoclothepin maleate salt is an orally active neuroleptic, dual inhibitor of SR-2A and D2DR. Octoclothepin maleate salt exhibits strong central nervous system inhibitory effects.
Octoclothepin maleate salt (Clorotepine maleate salt) (CAS#: 4789-68-8) is a tricyclic dibenzothiepin-derived antipsychotic compound. It functions as a dual antagonist at dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. The compound has an established antipsychotic profile. It is also known as an SR-2A inhibitor and D2DR inhibitor. Octoclothepin maleate salt has a molecular weight of 460.97 and is available as a maleate salt form.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Octoclothepin maleate salt targets dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 (5-HT2A) receptors. It functions as an antagonist at both receptor types. The compound's antipsychotic activity is attributed to its dual antagonism at D2 and 5-HT2 receptors, a mechanism shared by many atypical antipsychotics. D2 receptor antagonism reduces dopaminergic activity in the mesolimbic pathway, while 5-HT2 antagonism modulates serotonergic signaling and may reduce extrapyramidal side effects.
ln Vitro
In vitro, octoclothepin maleate salt has been characterized for its receptor binding affinity at D2 dopamine receptors and 5-HT2 serotonin receptors. The compound's binding properties have been evaluated using radioligand binding assays. It exhibits antagonist activity at both receptor types. The compound's in vitro profile is consistent with its classification as a dual D2/5-HT2 antagonist with antipsychotic properties. Detailed IC50 or Ki values are not provided in the available literature.
ln Vivo
Octoclothepin has a high degree of cataleptic and anti-apomorphine activity in rats; at a subcutaneous dose of 0.1 mg/kg, it completely protected dogs from apomorphine-induced emesis[1]. Octoclothepin significantly reduced DA levels and increased HVA and DOPAC levels at subcutaneous doses of 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg[1].
In vivo, octoclothepin maleate salt exhibits antipsychotic activity due to its dual antagonism at D2 and 5-HT2 receptors. The compound's effects on dopaminergic and serotonergic signaling pathways have been studied in animal models of psychosis. Its antipsychotic profile is established based on behavioral and pharmacological studies. The compound's in vivo effects are consistent with its receptor binding profile and its classification as a tricyclic antipsychotic.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for octoclothepin maleate salt typically involve radioligand displacement studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing human D2 or 5-HT2 receptors. [3H]-spiperone or [3H]-SCH 23390 may be used as radioligands for dopamine receptors. [3H]-ketanserin is commonly used for 5-HT2 receptor binding. Membranes are incubated with the radioligand and varying concentrations of octoclothepin, and bound radioactivity is measured by scintillation counting. Ki values are calculated from IC50 values using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for octoclothepin maleate salt involve functional assays to determine antagonist activity at D2 and 5-HT2 receptors. Cells expressing the receptors are treated with octoclothepin in the presence of appropriate agonists. Calcium mobilization assays (for 5-HT2) or cAMP inhibition assays (for D2) are used to measure receptor activation. The compound's antagonist activity is assessed by its ability to inhibit agonist-induced responses. Cytotoxicity is evaluated using standard cell viability assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for octoclothepin maleate salt typically involve administration to rodent models to evaluate antipsychotic activity. Behavioral assays such as conditioned avoidance response, PCP-induced hyperactivity, or amphetamine-induced stereotypy are used to assess antipsychotic efficacy. Catalepsy tests assess extrapyramidal side effect potential. Doses and routes of administration vary depending on the study. The compound's effects on dopaminergic and serotonergic systems are evaluated through pharmacological and biochemical analyses.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for octoclothepin maleate salt are not well documented in the available literature. As a tricyclic antipsychotic, the compound is likely to be lipophilic and well absorbed following oral administration. It would be expected to undergo hepatic metabolism via cytochrome P450 enzymes and have a half-life suitable for once or twice daily dosing. However, specific pharmacokinetic parameters such as bioavailability, half-life, and metabolism have not been reported.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for octoclothepin maleate salt are limited. As an antipsychotic compound, it may share the side effect profile of other D2/5-HT2 antagonists, including extrapyramidal symptoms, sedation, weight gain, and metabolic effects. The compound is labeled with GHS06 signal word "Danger", indicating acute toxicity. Specific toxicological data, including LD50 values and organ-specific toxicity, are not provided in the available literature. The compound is intended for research use only.
