Description

OPC-14523 hydrochloride is an orally active sigma and 5-HT1A receptor agonist, with high affinity for sigma receptors (σ1/2 IC50=47/56 nM), the 5-HT1A receptor (IC50=2.3 nM), and the 5-HT transporter (IC50=80 nM). OPC-14523 hydrochloride shows antidepressant-like activity[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

sigma 1

47 nM (IC50)

sigma 2

56 mM (IC50)

5-HT1A Receptor

2.3 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

OPC-14523 hydrochloride inhibits the in vitro reuptake of 3 H-5-HT (IC50=27 nM), but it shows very weak inhibitory activity on 3H-NE and 3H-DA reuptake[1].

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

In Vivo

OPC-14523 hydrochloride (0.3-100 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 0, 2, 4, 7 days) produces a marked antidepressant-like effect in the forced swimming test (FST) with rats and mice without affecting the general locomotor activity[1].

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

Animal Model: Wistar strain of rats (140-245 g)[1]
Dosage: 0.3-100 mg/kg
Administration: P.o.; daily for 0, 2, 4, 7 days
Result: A single doses of 1 mg/kg and higher of OPC-14523 reduced immobility time in the FST with an ED50 value of 27 mg/kg. The ED50 value for OPC-14523 on day 7 was 18 mg/kg.
Animal Model: ICR strain of mice (25-45 g)[1]
Dosage: 0.3-100 mg/kg
Administration: P.o.; daily for 0, 2, 4, 7 days
Result: A single oral dose of OPC-14523 produced a marked reduction in immobility time during the FST at oral doses of 1 mg/kg and higher, with an ED50 value of 20 mg/kg. The potency of OPC-14523 in decreasing immobility time was greater after treatment for seven consecutive days, producing an ED50 value of 2 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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
