Description

Amisulpride is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist with Kis of 2.8 and 3.2 nM for human dopamine D2 and D3, respectively.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 2.8 nM (D2 receptor), 3.2 nM (D3 receptor)[1]

In Vitro

Amisulpride is an atypical dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist with Kis of 2.8 and 3.2 nM for human dopamine D2 and D3, respectively. Amisulpride (100 nM) inhibits quinpirole-elicited [3H]thymidine incorporation with an IC50 value of 22±3 nM (n=3). Amisulpride slightly but significantly increases [3H]dopamine release from slices of the rat striatum (S2/S1=0.88±0.04 under control conditions, n=6; 1.04±0.08 in the presence of 100 nM Amisulpride,n=4; P<0.05) and opposes the inhibitory effects of 7-OH-DPAT in both brain areas[1].

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

In Vivo

Only the highest dose of Amisulpride (100 mg/kg) significantly reduces dopamine levels in the striatum or limbic system. Amisulpride significantly increases the synthesis of dopamine in the rat striatum and limbic system at doses of 20 and 100 mg/kg. Amisulpride (0.5 to 75 mg/kg) fails to provoke an additional increase in dopa accumulation in the striatum but slightly accelerates, at 75 mg/kg, dopamine synthesis in the limbic system. In comparison with vehicle-treated controls, Amisulpride (10 mg/kg) increases extracellular dopamine levels. The administration of Amisulpride (0.5 to 15 mg/kg s.c.) provokes a time- and dose-dependent increase in the stimulation-evoked dopamine release. Amisulpride decreases striatal ACh levels significantly at 30 and 100 mg/kg (87.5% and 56.3% of control levels, respectively)[1]. In both acute study, Amisulpride (70 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increases the duration of swimming behavior [F(3,28)=45.90, p<0.01][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 (6.77 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 (6.77 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

The functional effects of Amisulpride at the dopamine D3 receptor subtype are assessed. Briefly, the mitogenic response elicited in NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells stably transfected with human dopamine D3 receptor cDNA by the addition of 10 nM quinpirole in the presence of 1 μM forskolin is quantified by the incorporation of [3H]thymidine. Antagonism of quinpirole-induced mitogenesis is measured in the presence of increasing (0.1 to 100 nM) concentrations of Amisulpride[1].

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

Animal Administration
[2]

A total of 64 male Swiss albino mice weighing between 20 to 30 g are used. The animals are fed with standard pellet diet and water ad libitum. The mice are divided in different groups (n=8 in each group) and drug administration is done as follows: Group 1 (control): distilled water (1 mL/kg) 23.5, 5 and 1 h before the test. Group 3 (Amisulpride): Amisulpride (70 mg/kg) 23.5, 5 and 1 h before the test[2].

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.
