Description

Agomelatine (S-20098) is a specific agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors with Kis of 0.1, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.27 nM for CHO-hMT1, HEK-hMT1, CHO-hMT2, and HEK-hMT2, respectively[1]. Agomelatine is a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist with pKis of 6.4 and 6.2 at native (porcine) and cloned, human 5-HT2C receptors, respectively[2].

In Vitro

Agomelatine (S 20098) acts as a full agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors with EC50s of 1.6±0.4, 0.10±0.04 nM for CHO hMT1, CHO-hMT2 (hΜΤ1 and hΜΤ2 receptors expressed in CHO or HEK cell membranes)[1].
Agomelatine (S20098) also interacts with h5-HT2B receptors (6.6), whereas Agomelatine shows low affinity at native (rat)/cloned, human 5-HT2A (<5.0/5.3) and 5-HT1A (<5.0/5.2) receptors, and negligible (<5.0) affinity for other 5-HT receptors[2].

In Vivo

Agomelatine (25, 50, or 75 mg/kg; i.p.) has antioxidant activity in Strychnine (75 mg/kg, i.p.) or Pilocarpine (400 mg/kg, i.p.) induced seizure models in mice. Agomelatine dose not have any antioxidant effects on parameters of oxidative stress produced by Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) or Picrotoxin (PTX) induced seizure models when compared to controls[3].

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

Animal Model: Female Swiss mice (20-30 g) were administered PTZ (85 mg/kg, i.p.), PTX (7 mg/kg, i.p.), strychnine (75 mg/kg, i.p.), Pilocarpine (400 mg/kg, i.p.), respectively[3].
Dosage: 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg
Administration: Administered intraperitoneally (i.p.)
Result: All dosages showed a significant decrease in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels and nitrite content in all brain areas when compared to controls in the Pilocarpine induced seizure model.
All dosages decreased TBARS levels in all brain areas, and at low doses (25 or 50 mg/kg) decreased nitrite contents, but only at 25 or 50 mg/kg showed a significant increase in catalase activity in three brain areas when compared to controls in the Strychnine-induced seizure model.
Did not have any antioxidant effects on parameters of oxidative stress produced by PTX- or PTZ-induced seizure models when compared to controls.

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 (10.28 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 (10.28 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.
