| Targets |
The primary target of SCH-50911 is the GABA-B receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates slow inhibitory neurotransmission. It acts as a competitive antagonist at the orthosteric binding site. By blocking GABA-B receptors, it prevents the inhibitory effects of GABA and baclofen, leading to increased neuronal excitability. Its selectivity for GABA-B over GABA-A is high, making it a valuable tool.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, SCH-50911 demonstrates potent antagonism of GABA-B receptors. It has an IC₅₀ in the nanomolar range for inhibiting GABA-stimulated [³⁵S]GTPγS binding. It reverses the effects of the GABA-B agonist baclofen in electrophysiological recordings from hippocampal neurons. The compound's activity is characterized in radioligand binding and functional assays, confirming its role as a competitive antagonist.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, SCH-50911 has been shown to produce pro-cognitive effects and to modulate anxiety-like behaviors. It can reverse baclofen-induced hypothermia and memory deficits in rodents. It is used to study the involvement of GABA-B receptors in learning and memory, as well as in addiction models where it can reduce the rewarding effects of drugs of abuse. Its effects are dose-dependent and route-dependent.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding studies for SCH-50911 measure its affinity for the GABA-B receptor. Radioligand competition assays use [³H]CGP54626 or [¹²⁵I]CGP71872 as the labeled ligand. Membrane preparations from rat brain or cells expressing recombinant GABA-B receptors are used. The compound's Ki value is determined from competition curves. Selectivity over GABA-A is confirmed by lack of binding at high concentrations.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based functional assays for SCH-50911 evaluate its ability to block GABA-B receptor signaling. Cells expressing GABA-B receptors are stimulated with baclofen, and downstream signaling such as inhibition of cAMP accumulation is measured. The compound is added at various concentrations to determine the IC₅₀ for reversing the baclofen effect. These assays are performed in standard cell culture conditions.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for SCH-50911 typically involve rodents. The compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally. Behavioral tests include the Morris water maze for spatial memory, elevated plus maze for anxiety, and conditioned place preference for addiction. Physiological parameters like body temperature are also monitored. The compound's effects are compared to baclofen and other GABA-B modulators.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of SCH-50911 include good brain penetration and oral bioavailability. Its molecular weight is 283.19 g/mol. The compound is soluble in DMSO. Storage conditions are typically at -20°C, protected from moisture. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life and Cmax are available from published studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of SCH-50911 is not extensively reported, but as a research compound, it is intended for non-human use. At higher doses, it may cause convulsions or other excitatory effects due to GABA-B blockade. Standard safety precautions for handling neuroactive compounds should be followed.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
