Description

NS 1738 (NSC 213859) is a novel positive allosteric modulator of the α7 nAChR, with respect to positive modulation of α7 nAChR (EC50=3.4 μM in oocyte experiments).

IC50 & Target

EC50: 3.4 μM (α7 nAChR, in oocyte experiments)[1]

In Vitro

NS 1738 acts by increasing the peak amplitude of acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked currents at all concentrations; thus, it increased the maximal efficacy of ACh. Plotting peak current amplitude against the logarithm of the NS 1738 concentration used for preincubation reveals a sigmoidal concentration-response relationship that is well fit by the Hill equation (EC50=3.4 μM). Under similar experimental conditions, NS 1738 shows comparable efficacy and potency at the rat α7 nAChR (EC50=3.9 μM)[1].

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

In Vivo

To estimate the ability of NS 1738 to permeate the blood-brain barrier, rats are administered 10 mg/kg NS 1738 intraperitoneally. Peak brain concentrations are measured approximately 30 min after injection, and they amount to ~80 ng/mL (~200 nM) at this dose. The ratio between the amount of compound entering the brain and that in plasma is AUCbrain /AUCplasma=0.50. The half-life in plasma is estimated to 42 min. Incubation of NS1738 with isolated liver microsomes in vitro indicates that approximately 60 and 75% of NS 1738 is metabolized via the cytochrome P450 system in mouse and rat, respectively, within 1 h. Adult rats administered NS 1738 at 10 and 30 mg/kg i.p. immediately following the initial exposure to a juvenile rat (T1) display significant decreases in the investigative duration of a subsequent exposure to the same juvenile (T2) 2 h later (T2/T1 ratio of 0.69±0.13 and 0.61±0.07, respectively)[1].

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 (6.85 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 (6.85 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.

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats[1]
Sprague-Dawley rats are used. Adult (2-4 months; 400-450 g) and juvenile (50-60 g) animals are allowed to acclimate to the test room for 90 to 120 min before starting. After acclimation, adult rats are placed alone in their respective test cages. After a brief habituation period (30 min), they are allowed to interact for 5 min with a juvenile rat (trial; T1). During the interactive trial, the adult exhibits investigative behaviors that include close following, grooming, and/or sniffing of the juvenile for as much as 40 to 50% of the trial duration. The time of the investigative interaction is recorded in seconds. The juvenile rat is then removed, and the adult rats are immediately administered varying doses of NS 1738 (10 and 30 mg/kg NS-1738 i.p.) [prepared in 5% ethanol/95% hydroxypropyl-B-cyclodextrin (34% solution); 2.0 mL/kg i.p. ] or Nicotine (0.1 mg/kg i.p.), and then they are returned to their home cage. A second 5-min interactive trial (T2) is conducted 120 min later in the same test cage, and investigative behavior of the adult rat is again monitored and the time is recorded. Recognition ratios of time spent investing the familiar juvenile in T2 divided by time spent investigating the juvenile in T1 are calculated.

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.
