In Vitro

AP521 is an agonist of human 5-HT1A receptor with IC50s of 135, 94, 254, 5530, 418, 422 and 198 nM for 5-HT1A (rat), 5-HT1A (human), 5-HT1B (rat), 5-HT1B (human), 5-HT1D (human), 5-HT5a (human) and 5-HT7 (rat), respectively. AP521 also decreases the forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation from 10 nM to 10 μM[1].

In Vivo

AP521 significantly increases the number of shock acceptances [F(5,105)=4.46, P<0.01] at doses between 0.5 to 10 mg/kg. Oral administration of AP521 at 3 and 10 mg/kg significantly decreases freezing time [F(3,60)=2.89, P<0.05]. AP521 significantly increases the time spent on the open arms by approximately 2-fold as compare to the vehicle treated group [F(3, 36)=4.21, P<0.05 for AP521]. The anxiolytic-like effect of AP521 appears to be dose-related. AP521 significantly increases the extracellular 5-HT level of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) at 10 mg/kg from 0.5 to 1 h after administration. AP521 at 3 mg/kg tends to increase the extracellular 5-HT level, however, this increase is not significant[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Membranes of neurotransmitter receptors are prepared from the tissues of rat, mouse, and guinea pig or from recombinant cells. These membranes are incubated in assay buffers containing selective radioligand for each receptor and AP521. After the incubation, the mixture is vacuum filtered through a glass membrane filter and washed by cold reaction buffer. Afterward, the radioactivity of the filters is counted[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration
[1]

Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250 to 300 g are anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and placed on a stereotaxic apparatus. Dialysis probes with an outer diameter of 0.105 mm are inserted into the guide cannulae so that 3.0 mm of the probes are exposed to the tissue of the medial prefrontal cortex. Rats are housed individually after these operations. On the following day, perfusion is started in the home cage using artificial cerebrospinal fluid (145 mM NaCl, 3.0 mM KCl, 1.3 mM CaCl2, 1.0 mM MgCl2) at a flow rate of 2 mL/min. AP521 (3, 10 mg/kg), tandospirone (10 mg/kg) or vehicle are administered subcutaneously 60 min after sample collection started. The dialysate samples are collected every 30 min for 180 min and extracellular levels of 5-HT are determined[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
