Oxytocin ( IC50 = 0.65 nM )
Retosiban targets the oxytocin receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the effects of oxytocin. It acts as a potent and selective antagonist with no detectable agonist activity. Retosiban has nanomolar affinity for the oxytocin receptor with >1400-fold selectivity over the closely related vasopressin receptors. By blocking the oxytocin receptor, it inhibits uterine contractions. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Retosiban (0.1-10 μM) causes a parallel rightward shift of the oxytocin-induced concentration-response curve in rat isolated myometrial strips. Retosiban (1 μM) attenuates the effect of stretch on myometrial contractility under high tension. It has nanomolar affinity for the oxytocin receptor with no detectable agonist activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
Retosiban inhibits spontaneous and induced uterine contractions. It is a potent, selective, and orally active oxytocin receptor antagonist that can be studied in research for preterm labor. The compound's oral bioavailability supports its use in preclinical models of preterm labor. Specific animal model data are detailed in the referenced studies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The oxytocin receptor binding assay for Retosiban involves incubating the compound with membrane preparations from cells expressing the human or rat oxytocin receptor and a radiolabeled oxytocin ligand. After incubation, bound and free ligands are separated by filtration, and the radioactivity is counted. The Ki for displacement of the radioligand is calculated from the competition curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
To evaluate the cellular activity of Retosiban, cells expressing the oxytocin receptor are seeded in 96-well plates and loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye. Cells are pre-incubated with varying concentrations of Retosiban and then stimulated with oxytocin. The intracellular calcium flux is measured using a fluorescence plate reader. The IC50 for inhibition of oxytocin-induced calcium flux is calculated.
|
| Animal Protocol |
The in vivo efficacy of Retosiban is evaluated in animal models of preterm labor, such as pregnant rat models. Animals are treated with Retosiban orally at various doses, and uterine contractions are measured using an intrauterine pressure catheter. The compound's ability to inhibit uterine contractions and delay preterm delivery is assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |

*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.
