In Vitro

8-OH-DPAT is a potent and selective 5-HT agonist, with a pIC50 of 8.19 for 5-HT1A; weakly binds to 5-HT1B (pIC50, 5.42), 5-HT (pIC50 <5)[1]. 8-OH-DPAT has high affinity at 5-HT7 with a Ki of 466 nM, and does not bind to 5-HT6 or 5-HT4[2].

In Vivo

8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg) normalizes hypolocomotion, significantly increases wakefulness and reduces the duration of REM sleep without effect on the duration of non-REM sleep in the dark period in orexin knockout (KO) mice. 8-OH-DPAT shows no obvious effect on wakefulness or the duration of either REM sleep or non-REM sleep in WT mice. 8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg, s.c.) activates 5-HT1A receptor in orexin knockout mice[3].

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 (10.11 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 (10.11 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.

Mice[3]
The locomotor activity of mice is measured by an infrared sensor placed in individual home cages. To compare the locomotor activity in the light and dark periods, locomotor activity is monitored at 30-min intervals starting at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., respectively. To measure the effects of psychostimulants (8-OH-DPAT, 1, 3 mg/kg, s.c; etc.) on locomotor activity in the dark period, all drugs are administered at 8:00 p.m., and locomotor activity is then measured through 3 h[3].

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.
