Description

Gefapixant is an orally active and potent purinergic P2X3 receptor (P2X3R) antagonist, with IC50 values of ~30 nM versus recombinant hP2X3 homotrimers and 100-250 nM at hP2X2/3 heterotrimeric receptors. Gefapixant can be used for the research of chronic cough and knee osteoarthritis[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

P2X3 Receptor

 

In Vitro

Gefapixant displays no inhibitory impact on any non-P2X3 subunit containing receptors (IC50 values >10,000 nM at recombinant homotrimeric hP2X1, hP2X2, hP2X4, rP2X5 and hP2X7 channels)[1].

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

In Vivo

Gefapixant (7d bid, orally) attenuates the weight bearing laterality with complete reversal of apparent hyperalgesia at the two higher doses in a rat model of knee osteoarthritis (14d following intra-articular administration of monoiodoacetate)[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    90% PBS

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.07 mM); Clear solution

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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.

Animal Administration

Rats[2]
A rodent model often employs for assessing potential for drug effect in osteoarthritis (OA) pain is based on intraarticular injection of monoiodoacetate (mIOA) into one knee joint of the rat. Progressive loss of chondrocytes leads to histological changes of the articular cartilage over subsequent weeks that resemble the changes which occur in human OA, leading to joint discomfort exemplified by a shift in the weight distribution (asymmetry) to favor the unaffected limb. To measure the effect of Gefapixant on the weight bearing laterality and apparent hyperalgesia, Gefapixant is given by intraplantar or oral administration to the rats, with different concentrations (6, 20, and 60 mg/kg) two times a day and continues up to a week[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.
