Description

Senktide is a tachykinin NK3 receptor agonist.

IC50 & Target

NK3 receptor[1]
In Vitro

The selective NK3 receptor agonist Senktide excites 24 of 31 dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta in a concentration-dependent manner. The effective concentration range is between 3 to 3000 nm. The mean EC50 for Senktide is 41.2±9 nm (n=5)[2].

In Vivo

I.c.v. injection of Senktide causes a dose-dependent increase in total distance traveled (F6,72=6.344, P<0.001). This increase reaches statistical significance compare to the vehicle-treated group at 0.06 nmol and higher. The Senktide-induced increase in locomotor activity brought about by 0.1 nmol of Senktide is significantly and dose-dependently decreased by the tachykinin NK3 receptor antagonists talnetant at 30 mg/kg and SB222200 at 30 mg/kg, but not by osanetant, when tested in parallel in a single experiment (F7,78=10.32, P<0.001), although a non-significant reduction is observed. However, when tested using another vehicle (Vitamin E and glycofurol), osanetant does decrease activity significantly compare to Senktide-treated gerbils (F2,30=10.10, P<0.001)[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 (2.97 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 (2.97 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 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
[2]

Experiments are performed on brain slices (300 μM thick) from 150 g male Wistar rats and extracellular recordings are made by conventional techniques. Drugs (including Senktide) are applied by bath perfusion and removal is achieved simply by returning to the control drug-free solution. Extracellular electrodes are filled with aCSF and have resistances of 5 to 14 MΩ. For intracellular recordings, electrodes are filled with 1 M potassium acetate and have d.c. resistances of 70 to 110 MΩ. Neurons are considered to be dopaminergic if they have a characteristic waveform, slow firing rate (~5 Hz) and inhibitory response to dopamine[2].

Animal Administration
[1]

For the Senktide dose-response curve, gerbils are first allowed to habituate to the test area for 30 min. Animals (n=10 to 12 per drug treatment group) are anesthetized with isoflurane, a small incision is made in the skin over bregma, and an injection of Senktide at 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, 0.1, 0.3 or 0.6 nmol in 5 μL of vehicle is placed i.c.v. using a syringe with a 4.5 mm long needle. Wounds are clipped shut, and animals allowed to awaken from anesthesia, then placed directly into the locomotor activity boxes and recording commenced. For testing of the NK1 receptor antagonist aprepitant (1, 3 or 10 mg/kg p.o.), gerbils are first treated with aprepitant or vehicle (0.9% NaCl with 0.3% Tween80) and returned to the home cage for 90 min. Animals are then placed in the open field for 30 min of habituation. During the last 5 min of habituation, 0.03 nmol Senktide is injected i.c.v[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.
