BRL-44408 maleate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
BRL-44408 maleate is a selective, blood-brain barrier-permeable α2A-adrenergic receptor antagonist with a Ki value of 8.56 nM against human targets. BRL-44408 maleate exhibits activities such as antidepressant, analgesic effects and attenuation of sepsis-induced acute lung injury by regulating the release of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine, or inhibiting signaling pathways including ERK1/2, p38MAPK and p65. BRL-44408 maleate can be used in studies related to acute respiratory distress syndrome, depression and visceral pain.

Biological Activity
Ki: 8.5 nM (α2A-adrenoceptor)[1]
BRL-44408 maleate (0-12.5 h) can inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38MAPK and p65 in LPS (HY-D1056)-induced NR8383 rat alveolar macrophages, with no effect on the activation of JNK or PKA[1].

BRL-44408 (10 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single administration) maleate significantly elevates extracellular norepinephrine (up to 204%), dopamine (up to 110%) and acetylcholine (up to 75%) levels in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats for at least 3.5 hours post-administration, without altering serotonin levels[2].
BRL-44408 maleate (3-30 mg/kg; i.p.; administered once at 24 h, 5 h and 1 h prior to testing, for a total of 3 times) exerts significant antidepressant-like effects in the forced swimming test in rats, reducing the immobility time by 30% (10 mg/kg) and 49% (30 mg/kg), while increasing the climbing time by 48% (10 mg/kg) and 107% (30 mg/kg)[2].
BRL-44408 maleate (10-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration; pretreated 20 minutes before testing) exerts significant antidepressant-like effects in the rat procedure-induced polydipsia test, reducing the additional water intake by 34% (17 mg/kg) and 44% (30 mg/kg), respectively[2].
BRL-44408 maleate (1-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration; pretreated 60 minutes prior to PPQ administration) exerts significant analgesic effects in a mouse PPQ visceral pain model, reversing somatic stretching behaviors by 32% (10 mg/kg) and 52% (30 mg/kg), respectively[2].

Result:Significantly reduced CLP-induced lung wet/dry weight ratio.
Significantly decreased CLP-induced lung injury scores.
Significantly reduced CLP-induced CD68-positive macrophage infiltration in lung tissue.
Significantly decreased serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and CXCL2/MIP-2; no significant effect on serum IL-10 levels.
Significantly reduced lung tissue mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and CXCL2/MIP-2 post-CLP; no significant effect on lung tissue IL-10 mRNA levels.
Markedly inhibited CLP-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38MAPK, and p65 in lung tissue; no effect on phosphorylation of JNK or PKA.
Increased 7-day survival rate by approximately 20% compared to CLP controls, with no statistically significant difference between groups.
