Description
|
CRFR2 1.1 nM nM (IC50) |
In Vitro
Antisauvagine-30 (90 min) TFA (aSvg-30 TFA) is a CRF2-selective competitive antagonist with an IC50 of 1.1 nM at mouse CRF2β receptors and an IC50 of 400 nM at human CRF1 receptors in stably transfected CHO cell membranes[1].
Antisauvagine-30 TFA binds with high affinity to CRF2 receptor subtypes (Ki = 0.41-0.8 nM; Kd = 1.4 nM for mouse CRF2b) and with lower affinity to CRF1 receptor subtypes (Ki = 66-170 nM) in transfected HEK293 cell membrane preparations[2].
Antisauvagine-30 TFA functionally antagonizes CRF1-mediated cAMP signaling in HEK293-rat CRF1 cells and Y79 retinoblastoma cells with IC50 values of 1-2 μM[2].
Antisauvagine-30 (0-1 µM; 60 min) TFA binds with high affinity and strong selectivity to mCRFR2b over rCRFR1 in membrane preparations from transfected HEK 293 cells, with a Kd of 1.4 nM for mCRFR2b[4].
Antisauvagine-30 (0.01-1 µM; 30 min) TFA is a potent antagonist of Svg-stimulated cAMP production in HEK-mCRFR2b cells with low intrinsic activity, while displaying much weaker antagonist activity in HEK-rCRFR1 cells, consistent with CRFR2b selectivity[4].
Antisauvagine-30 TFA is a highly selective CRF-R2 ligand with nanomolar affinity for murine CRF-R2b and human CRF-R2α, and negligible affinity for CRF-R1 in recombinant HEK293 cell membrane preparations[5].
Antisauvagine-30 TFA binds with high affinity to recombinant CRF2 receptor splice variants (Kd of 0.125 nM for CRF2(a), Ki of 1.4 nM for CRF2(b)) and exhibits substantially lower affinity for CRF1 receptors (Ki of 154 nM at rat CRF1, no detectable specific binding at human CRF1), confirming its selectivity as a CRF2 receptor ligand[7].

In Vivo
Antisauvagine-30 (100 µg/kg; s.c.; single dose; 3 or 6 h prior to Urocortin) TFA at 100 µg/kg does not significantly antagonize Urocortin-induced delayed gastric emptying when administered 3 or 6 h prior to Urocortin in mice[1].
Antisauvagine-30 (3 nmol; i.c.v.; single bolus) TFA reduces shock-induced freezing in mice independently of CRF2 receptor status, with no effect on marble burying or elevated plus-maze measures of anxiety-like behavior[2].
Antisauvagine-30 (2.70-5.40 nmol/rat; i.c.v.; single dose 15 min before the conditioned fear test) TFA dose-dependently enhances conditioned fear responses, elevates plasma corticosterone, and increases c-Fos and CRF expression in corticolimbic and hypothalamic brain regions of fear-conditioned Wistar rats[3].
Antisauvagine-30 (30-200 μg/kg; i.p.; single dose 10 min before Urocortin) TFA at 100 μg/kg completely blocks Urocortin-induced inhibition of gastric emptying in mice, while the 30 μg/kg dose produces 54% antagonism[5].
Antisauvagine-30 (30-200 μg/kg; i.p.; single dose 10 min before Urocortin) TFA only partially reverses Urocortin-induced hypophagia in fasted mice, with ~35% reduction of the inhibitory effect at 100 μg/kg[5].
Antisauvagine-30 (100 μg/kg; i.p.; single dose 10 min before Urocortin) TFA combined with the CRF-R1 antagonist CP 154526 (HY-12130) does not show enhanced partial reversal of Urocortin-induced hypophagia compared to Antisauvagine-30 alone[5].
Antisauvagine-30 (400 ng per mouse; bilateral injection into dorsal hippocampus or lateral intermediate septum; 15 min before training alone or 10 min before h/rCRF for combined treatment) TFA, a CRFR2-preferring antagonist, blocks septal CRFR2-mediated impairment of fear conditioning and enhances fear conditioning when administered alone into the lateral intermediate septum, while having no effect on hippocampal CRFR1-mediated enhancement of fear conditioning[6].
Antisauvagine-30 (100 pmol per mouse; bilateral injection into lateral intermediate septum; 10 min before h/rCRF for combined treatment or 30 min before plus-maze test alone) TFA completely blocks CRF-induced anxiety mediated by septal CRFR2 without affecting baseline anxiety levels in mice[6].
Antisauvagine-30 (bilateral injection into lateral intermediate septum; before immobilization stress) TFA fully prevents stress-induced anxiety when administered into the lateral intermediate septum, confirming the role of septal CRFR2 in mediating stress-generated anxiety[6].
Antisauvagine-30 (0.03-10 mg/kg; i.v. bolus) TFA, a selective CRF2 receptor antagonist, completely blocks Urocortin 2-induced hypotension in conscious rats at doses of 1-10 mg/kg i.v., but has no effect on basal mean arterial blood pressure or heart rate when administered alone[7].
