Product Description

This product is discontinued due to commercial reason. Zuranolone (formerly known as SAGE-217; SAGE217; Zurzuvae) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of depressive disorders. It acts as a novel and potent GABAA receptor modulator/agonist at both synaptic and extrasynaptic receptor subtypes with EC50s of 296 and 163 nM for α1β2γ2 and α4β3δ GABAA receptors, respectively, and with excellent oral DMPK properties. SAGE-217 has completed a phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial and is currently being studied in parallel phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and essential tremor (ET). Certain classes of neuroactive steroids (NASs) are positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) was approved in 2023 by FDA for treating Postpartum depression.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With EC50s of 296 and 163 nM for α1β2η2 and α4β3δ GABAA receptors, respectively, zuranolone is a strong agonist of GABAA receptors. Phase 2 clinical trials investigating zuranolone are presently being conducted in parallel to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and postpartum depression (PPD). In a cardiac panel consisting of eight significant cardiac ion channels, zuranolone exhibits >30 μM inhibition. Only binding at the glycine (57%), sigma (88%), and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1, 95%) is observed at 10 μM concentration of Zuranolone[1].
ln Vivo
Pentylenetretazol (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice (MECplasma=85 nM) are effectively reduced by acute administration of Zuranolone (0.3 to 10 mg/kg, ip). In addition, a dose-dependent anticonvulsant effect is produced in the mouse 6 Hz electrical stimulation model. Even when given 60 minutes after the onset of status epilepticus (SE), Zuranolone (0.3 to 5 mg, iv) completely eliminates both behavioral and electrographic seizure activity in the rat model of SE. Further PK studies on dogs with Zuranolone demonstrate excellent oral bioavailability (F=68%) due to low clearance (< 10% of hepatic blood flow)[1].
Animal Protocol
SAGE-217 is dosed IV (5 mg/kg, 2.5 mL/kg) or by oral gavage (20 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg).
In vivo pharmacokinetic parameters are determined in male Sprague Dawley rats (of 200 to 300 g in weight), male CD-1 mice (15 to 25 g in weight), and male beagle dogs (8 to 12 kg in weight). Doses of SAGE-217 for intravenous (IV) and oral administration (PO) are formulated as solutions in SBECD. SAGE-217 is dosed IV (5 mg/kg, 2.5 mL/kg) or by oral gavage (20 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg). Animals in the IV group are sampled at 0.083, 0.25, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post-dose and PO animals are sampled at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post dose. Brain samples from the IV group are also collected at 1 hour post-dose. Blood samples are collected into tubes treated with K2-EDTA, then centrifuged at 2000 g at 4°C for 15 min. Plasma is isolated and frozen at -70°C until extraction.

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 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
