Zanapezil (TAK-147) is a potent, reversible and selective acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibitor. Zanapezil shows a potent and reversible inhibition of AChE activity in homogenates of the rat cerebral cortex (IC50=51.2 nM). Zanapezil shows a moderate inhibition of muscarinic M1 and M2 receptor binding with Ki values of 234 and 340 nM, respectively. Zanapezil can be used for the research of early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Description

Zanapezil (TAK-147) is a potent, reversible and selective acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibitor. Zanapezil shows a potent and reversible inhibition of AChE activity in homogenates of the rat cerebral cortex (IC50=51.2 nM). Zanapezil shows a moderate inhibition of muscarinic M1 and M2 receptor binding with Ki values of 234 and 340 nM, respectively. Zanapezil can be used for the research of early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD)[1][2].

IC50 & Target

AChE

 

In Vitro

Zanapezil (TAK-147) shows a potent and reversible inhibition of AChE activity in homogenates of the rat cerebral cortex (IC50=51.2 nM), and is 3.0- and 2.4-fold more potent than tacrine and physostigmine, respectively. Zanapezil is the least potent inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase activity in rat plasma (IC50=23,500 nM)[1].
Zanapezil moderately inhibits uptake of noradrenaline and serotonin with IC50 values of 4020 and 1350 nM, respectively[1].
Zanapezil also inhibits ligand binding at alpha-1, alpha-2 and serotonin 2 receptors with Ki values of 324, 2330 and 3510 nM, respectively[1].

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

In Vivo

Oral administration of Zanapezil (TAK-147; 3 mg/kg) significantly accelerated the turnover rates of dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin in the rat brain. Oral administration of Zanapezil at doses ranging from 1 to 10 mg/kg induces a statistically significant and dose-dependent decrease in AChE activity in the cerebral cortex in ex vivo experiments[1].
Zanapezil (TAK-147; 5 and 10 mg/kg) significantly increases ACh level in the ventral hippocampus (VH) for 120 min[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 (5.08 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 (5.08 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.
