    In Vitro

    Istradefylline has 70-fold greater affinity for the A2AR than the A1 receptor with Ki of 2.2 nM versus 150 nM[1]. Istradefylline causes concentration-dependent abolition of bFGF induction of astrogliosis in primary rat striatal astrocytes[4]. Istradefylline binds to A1 receptor, A2A receptor, and A3 receptor in human with Kis of >287 nM, 9.12 nM, and >681 nM, respectively, 50.9 nM and 1.57 nM for A1 receptor and A2A receptor in rat, 105.02 nM and 1.87 nM for A1 receptor and A2A receptor in mouse, respectively[5].

    In Vivo

    Istradefylline (3.3 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment before a single dose of MPTP attenuates the partial dopamine and DOPAC depletions measured in striata 1 week later[1]. Istradefylline reverses CGS21680-induced and reserpine-induced catalepsy with an ED50 of 0.05 mg/kg and 0.26 mg/kg, respectively. Istradefylline is over 10 times as potent in these models compared to other adenosine antagonists and dopamine agonist drugs. Istradefylline combined with L-dopa cuases potent effects on haloperidol-induced and reserpine-induced catalepsy[2]. Istradefylline (10 mg/kg, p.o.) results an increase in locomotor activity to approximately twice that of control and improves motor disability in MPTP-treated common marmosets. Istradefylline (10 mg/kg, p.o.) in combination with SKF80723, quinpirole, or L-DOPA produces a significant additive effect on locomotor activity and improvement of motor disability but not dysKinesia[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    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.41 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [5]

    A CHO cell line permanently expressing the human adenosine A1or A2A receptor is cultured in α-MEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 50 U/mL penicillin, and 50 μg/mL streptomycin. Cells are grown at 37°C in an environment of 5% CO2. These cells are seeded on black 96-well assay plates at a density of 15,000 cells/well, and then they are cultured for 24 h.

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

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    The animals are housed either in pairs or alone under standard conditions at a temperature of 24-26°C and 50-60% relative humidity using a 12-h light-dark cycle. Diet consisted of standard food pellets, fresh fruit, and Mazuri marmoset jelly. The animals are treated with MPTP in a dose of 2.0 mg/kg sc daily for 5 days. Following MPTP treatment the animals are allowed to recover from the acute effects over a period of some 6-8 weeks. During MPTP treatment and throughout the following weeks, the animals are hand-fed with Mazuri marmoset jelly and fresh fruit puree until they are able to maintain them-selves. Prior to behavioral testing, from 6-8 weeks to 8 months after exposure to MPTP, all animals show a marked reduction of basal locomotor activity, slower and less coordinated movements, abnormal postures of some parts of the body, and reduced checKing movements and eye blinks. Istradefylline (KW-6002) is suspended in 0.3% Tween-80 and 10% sucrose solution and administered in a final volume of 2.0 mL/kg body weight by oral gavage.

    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.
