Description

CI-966 hydrochloride is a potent, selective, orally active and brain-penetrant inhibitor of the GABA transporter GAT-1, with IC50s of 0.26 μM and 1.2 μM for hGAT-1, rGAT-1, respectively. CI-966 hydrochloride shows more than 200-fold selectivity over GAT-2, GAT-3, and BGT-3. CI-966 hydrochloride exhibits anticonvulsant and neuroprotective activities[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.26 μM (hGAT-1); 1.2 μM (rGAT-1); 297 μM (rGAT-2); 333 μM (hGAT-3); 1140 μM (rGAT-3); 300 μM (hBGT-3)[1]

In Vitro

CI-966 hydrochloride functions by selectively inhibiting GABA reuptake in neurons and glial cells[4].

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

In Vivo

CI-966 hydrochloride produces intermediate levels of Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-lever responding when administered to PTZ-trained rats[4].
CI-966 hydrochloride enhances gamma-aminobutyric acid action in CA1 pyramidal layer in situ. CI-966 hydrochloride is administered systemically by i.p. injection (5 mg/kg) in Sprague-Dawley rats under urethane anaesthesia. Twenty to thirty minutes after injection there is a highly variable, but overall significant, enhancement of the inhibition of hippocampal population spikes by GABA applied by microiontophoresis in the CA1 region[5].
CI-966 hydrochloride exhibits anticonvulsant properties in various animal models. Oral absorption of CI-966 hydrochloride in dogs given 1.39 mg/kg is rapid with a tmax of 0.7 hr. In rats given 5 mg/kg oral, a mean tmax of 4.0 hr is observed. Following i.v. administration of the same respective doses, elimination t1/2 in dogs and rats averages 1.2 and 4.5 hr. Absolute oral bioavailability of CI-966 hydrochloride is 100% in both species[6].

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 (4.90 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 (4.90 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.

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.
