IC50 & Target

In Vitro

Volinanserin (MDL 100907) is a potent antagonist at the 5-HT2 receptor, with a Ki of 0.36 nM, and shows 300-fold selectivity for 5-HT2 receptor over 5-HT1c receptor, alpha-1 and DA D2 receptors. Volinanserin has antipsychotic activity[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Volinanserin (MDL 100907; 0.008-2.0 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreases d-amphetamine-stimulated locomotor activity in mice, with an ED50 of 0.3 mg/kg, but shows no obvious reduction in the base-line locomotor activity in mice. Volinanserin produces atalepsy with an ED50 of 10-50 mg/kg in rats. Volinanserin does not reduces apomorphine-induced stereotypies or produces catalepsy in rats[1]. Volinanserin (M100907) combined with MK-801 significantly decreases reinforcers at 1 μg/kg, but dose-dependently (10, 100 μg/kg) antagonizes the disruptive effect of MK-801 in rats via i.p. administration. Volinanserin (6.25 μg/kg) enhances the antidepressant-like action of desipramine in rats performing under a DRL 72-s schedule, and elevates the antidepressant-like effect of tranylcypromine[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 (6.69 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 (6.69 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.

Mice[1]
To measure the effects the test compounds alone on spontaneous locomotor activity, mice are injected i.p. with the test compounds, placed singly into clear Plexiglas test cages (16 × 16 × 8 inches) and are allowed to acclimatize for 30 mm. Six mice per dose for each of the six doses are tested for Volinanserin (0.008-2.0 mg/kg), amperozide and haloperidol. Twelve mice per dose for six doses are tested for clozapine. Sixty animals are given vehicle in these experiments. Thereafter, the boxes are placed in the activity monitors and measurements are taken for 30 mm. To measure the effects of various pretreatments on amphetamine stimulated motor activity, mice (four per test box) are acclimatized for 90 mm to reduce the level of spontaneous activity of the controls. The mice are then injected with amphetamine (2 mg/kg i.p.) as well as the test compounds, returned to the activity boxes and tested for 90 mm. In these experiments 16 mice per dose are tested for the 9 doses of Volinanserin and 16 mice per dose are tested for each of 6 doses for amperozide, clozapine and haloperidol. One hundred forty four mice received vehicle in these experiments[1].
Rats[1]
Drugs and doses used are clozapine (1, 10 and 50 mg/kg) or Volinanserin (1, 10 and 50 mg/kg), amperozide (1, 10 and 50 mg/kg) and haloperidol (0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg). Five rats per dose are used in these experiments and five rats receive vehicle. Rats are dosed i.p. and, 30 mm later, each rat is placed gently into a clear Plexiglas enclosure (30 × 30 × 15 cm) so that both front limbs rested on top of a horizontal aluminum rod (1.2 cm in diameter). The rod is centered across the plastic enclosure at a height of 7 cm above the floor. The time each rat remained with its hind legs on the floor while the front limbs are elevated on the rod is recorded to the nearest second. Data are analyzed by using analysis of variance followed by appropriate post-hoc tests[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.
