Description

Pexacerfont is a selective corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF1) receptor antagonist with IC50 of 6.1±0.6 nM for human CRF1 receptor.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 6.1±0.6 nM (human CRF1 receptor)[1]

In Vitro

Pexacerfont demonstrates a potent and specific inhibitory effect (IC50=6.1 ± 0.6 nM) toward human CRF1 receptor and has greater than 1000-fold lower affinity (IC50>1000 nM) for the CRF-binding protein and biogenic amine receptors[1].

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

In Vivo

Pexacerfont (BMS-562086) is active in rats (1-10 mg/kg, orally) in the defensive withdrawal and elevated plus maze models of anxiety. After the intravenous bolus dose, the plasma Pexacerfont concentrations exhibited a multiexponential decline in rats, dogs, and chimpanzees. The CLp of Pexacerfont was higher in rats (17.9 mL/kg per min) and dogs (11.6 mL/kg per min) than in chimpanzees (2.0 mL/kg per min). Assuming the value of CLp of Pexacerfont approximates the value of CLb in these three species, Pexacerfont has an estimated hepatic extraction ratio of 0.32, 0.38, and 0.08 in rats, dogs, and chimpanzees, respectively (calculated by dividing CLp by respective hepatic blood flow, 55.2, 30.9, and 25.5 mL/kg per min for rats, dogs, and chimpanzees). The assumption that CLb is equal to CLp is reasonable at least in rats, where the blood to plasma concentration ratio of BMS-562086-equivalent radioactivity was 0.95 at 1 h postdose[1].

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 (7.34 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 (7.34 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

Caco-2 cells at passage 50 to 60 are seeded on polycarbonate membranes of 24 well Transwell plates at a density of 60,000 cells/cm2. The cells are cultured for 21 to 25 days in culture medium consisting of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 0.5 mM HEPES, 1% nonessential amino acids, 1% L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin-G, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Before the permeability studies, apical (AP) and basolateral (BL) media are replaced with transport buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution supplemented with 2% N, N-dimethylacetamide, pH 7.4). AP to BL permeability study is initiated by replacing the AP medium with the transport buffer containing 25 μM BMS-562086. All permeability experiments are performed at 37°C.Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values are measured to assess cell monolayer integrity. TEER values are obtained both at the beginning and at the end of each experiment. Only wells with TEER values between 400 and 500 Ω/cm2 throughout the experiment are used in the studies. Mannitol (25 or 100 μM) transport experiments are performed in the same manner as other transport experiments. Mannitol served as a probe of the Caco-2 cell monolayer integrity[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats[1]
One group of male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=3, 0.34-0.35 kg b.wt.) instrumented with single jugular vein cannulas are designated for oral administration, and a second group of male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=3, 0.34-0.35 kg b.wt.) instrumented with dual jugular vein cannulas are designated for intravenous administration. All rats are fasted for approximately 18 h before use and for 4 h after dosing. Water is provided ad libitum. Pexacerfont (BMS-562086) is administered orally by gavage to three rats at a single dose of 5 mg/kg in 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose. A single intravenous bolus dose of Pexacerfont is administered to three rats at 1 mg/kg in 20% ethanol in saline via the jugular vein cannula. Blood samples (0.2 mL/time point per animal) are collected via the jugular vein cannula for analysis of Pexacerfont at 0, 0.08 (intravenous dose only), 0.17 (intravenous dose only), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h postdose. Plasma is prepared from the blood samples by centrifuging for 10 min at 1000g and 5°C.

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.
