Description

Fananserin (RP 62203) is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine2 (5-HT2) receptor antagonist, with a Ki of 0.37 nM for the rat 5-HT2A receptor. Fananserin also is a selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonist, with a Ki of 2.93 nM for the human dopamine D4 receptor[1].

IC50 & Target

5-HT2 Receptor

0.37 nM (Ki)

D4 Receptor

2.93 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

Fananserin is relatively selective for 5-HT2 receptor, having lower affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor and very low affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor[1].
Fananserin displaces [3H]spiperone binding to recombinant human dopamine D 4 receptors with a Ki of 2.93 nM[1].
RP 62203 displays low to moderate affinity for α1-adrenoceptors, dopamine D2 receptors and histamine H 1 receptors[2].

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

In Vivo

Fananserin displaces [125I]AMIK from 5-HT2 receptors with an IC50 of 0.21 nM in rat frontal cortex[2].
Fananserin shows moderate affinity for alpha 1-adrenoceptors in the rat thalamus (IC50 = 14 nM) and for histamine H1 receptors in the guinea-pig cerebellum (IC50 = 13 nM)[2].
Fananserin (0.5-4 mg/kg; p.o.) increases the duration of deep nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep at the expense of wakefulness in a dose-dependent manner[3].

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

Animal Model: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (250-300 g)[3]
Dosage: 0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg,2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration
Result: Increased the duration of deep nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep at the expense of wakefulness in a dose-dependent manner from 0.5 mg/kg.

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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
