Description

Aticaprant (CERC-501) is a potent and centrally-penetrant kappa opioid receptor antagonist with a Ki of 0.807 nM.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 0.807 nM (kappa opioid)[1]
In Vitro

Aticaprant (CERC-501) binds with high affinity to the human kappa opioid receptor with a 30-fold higher affinity over the human mu opioid receptor and 190-fold higher affinity over the human delta opioid receptor. Aticaprant (CERC-501) shows no appreciable affinity for several non-opioid cell surface G-protein-coupled receptor targets, including monoaminergic, muscarinic, cholinergic, and adrenergic receptors or ion channel/transporter binding targets or the central benzodiazepine binding site[1].

In Vivo

Aticaprant (CERC-501) has a rapid absorption (tmax=1-2 h) and good oral bioavailability (F=25%). Oral Aticaprant (CERC-501) administration selectively and potently occupies central kappa opioid receptors (ED50=0.33 mg/kg), without evidence of mu or delta receptor occupancy. LY2456302 potently blocks kappa-agonist-mediated analgesia and disruption of prepulse inhibition, without affecting mu-agonist-mediated effects at doses >30-fold higher. Aticaprant (CERC-501) produces antidepressant-like effects in the mouse forced swim test and enhances the effects of imipramine and citalopram. Aticaprant (CERC-501) reduces ethanol self-administration in alcohol-preferring rats[1]. Aticaprant (CERC-501) alleviates the nicotine withdrawal syndrome, as evidenced by decreased expression of nicotine withdrawal induced anxiety-related behavior, somatic signs, and CPA, and increased hotplate latency in nicotine withdrawn mice following pre-treatment[2].

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 (5.97 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 (5.97 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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.

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats: Three male cannulated rats are administered a single 1 mg/kg intravenous (IV) and 10 mg/kg oral (PO) dose of Aticaprant (CERC-501) to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters. Plasma samples are collected at 0.08 (IV only), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dose and analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectral detection to determine the concentrations of Aticaprant (CERC-501)[1].

Mice: Male mice are administered a single 10 mg/kg PO dose of Aticaprant (CERC-501) to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters. Plasma samples are collected at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h post-dose and analyzed by LCeMS/MS to determine the concentrations of Aticaprant (CERC-501). The plasma and brain binding of Aticaprant (CERC-501) is determined by equilibrium dialysis at 1 μM[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.
