Biological Activity
α7 nAChR[1]
Encenicline (EVP-6124) displaces [3H]-MLA (Methyllycaconitine) (Ki=9.98 nM, pIC50=7.65±0.06, n=3) and [125I]-α-bungarotoxin (Ki=4.33 nM, pIC50=8.07±0.04, n=3). Encenicline (EVP-6124) is approximately 300 fold more potent than the natural agonist ACh (Ki=3 μM), measured in binding assays using [3H]-MLA. Encenicline hydrochloride inhibits the 5-HT3 receptor by 51% at 10 nM, the lowest concentration tested. Evaluation of the human 5-HT2B receptor expressed in CHO cells demonstrates displacement of [3H]-mesulergine (Ki=14 nM) and only antagonist activity in the rat gastric fundus assay at an IC50 of 16 μM. In binding and functional experiments, Encenicline (EVP-6124) shows selectivity for α7 nAChRs and does not activate or inhibit heteromeric α4β2 nAChRs[1].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.00 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.00 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.

Protocol
Rats[1]
Twenty-four 2.5-month-old male Wistar rats (average body weight: 329 g) are used. Before testing EVP-6124, the effects of scopolamine alone at 0.03, 0.1, or 0.3 mg/kg, i.p. in the ORT are determined (n=8 per treatment). Scopolamine (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) injected 30 min before T1 resulted in a robust deficit at T2 when a 1 h interval is used. The d2 index is not significantly different from the chance level of performance; and there are no changes in exploratory behavior for 0.1 mg/kg, i.p. of scopolamine compared with saline. Subsequently, the ability of Encenicline (EVP-6124) to reverse the memory impairment induced by 0.1 mg/kg of scopolamine is tested. First, scopolamine and then Encenicline (EVP-6124) (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 mg/kg, p.o.) are administered 30 min before T1. For the control treatments, animals received either deionized water (p.o.) plus saline (i.p.) or deionized water (p.o.) plus 0.1 mg/kg scopolamine (i.p.).
Mice[2]
Adult male mice (3-6 months old) are used throughout this study. Encenicline (EVP-6124) is injected i.p. (0.4 mg/kg) at Zeitgeber time (ZT0) in awake mice (9 mice total for this experiment), in the animal facility. Mice are then immediately returned to their home cage with their siblings and left undisturbed for 4 hr (ZT4). During this time, they are closely monitored to check for possible behavioral effects of Encenicline (EVP-6124) injection. All of the 9 injected mice nested and are immobile in the hour following the injection.
