Meranzin hydrate is an orally active antidepressant and GHSR modulator. Meranzin hydrate significantly upregulates the expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and p-mTOR in the hippocampus via the ghrelin-growth hormone secretagogue receptor pathway. Meranzin hydrate regulates blood oxygen level-dependent signals in the hippocampus-thalamus-basal ganglia circuit, attenuates reward system activation, and promotes the normalization of related hormone levels. Meranzin hydrate effectively ameliorates depression-like behaviors and gastrointestinal hypomotility, and can be used in research related to depression and major depressive disorder.

In Vivo

Meranzin hydrate (9-18 mg/kg; single dose) improves depression-like behaviors and hypomotility in acute forced swimming-induced rats via ghrelin-related regulation of hippocampal BDNF/p-mTOR signaling and HTB circuit activity^[1].
Meranzin hydrate (18 mg/kg; single dose) reduces depression-like behavior in wild-type mice as measured by FST and TST outcomes^[1].
Meranzin hydrate (18 mg/kg; single dose) does not reduce depression-like behavior in GHSR KO mice as measured by FST and TST outcomes^[1].
Meranzin hydrate (10 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; 7 days) produces significant antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects in UCMS-induced depressed rats, normalizes HPA axis function, increases hippocampal BDNF expression, and repairs UCMS-induced aberrant BOLD activation in the reward and limbic systems^[2].

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

Modulated activity in the hippocampus-thalamus-basal ganglia (HTB) circuits as measured by BOLD foci.
Had its effect on FST and GE inhibited by ghrelin antagonist [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 (P<0.05).

Dosage:

18 mg/kg
Administration:

single dose

Significantly reduced plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (P < 0.05 vs UCMS group), corticosterone (CORT) (P < 0.01 vs UCMS group), and acylated ghrelin (AG) (P < 0.01 vs UCMS group) levels, normalizing them to near control levels.
Significantly increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (P < 0.01 vs UCMS group).
Attenuated UCMS-induced increased BOLD activation in reward system and limbic system brain regions, including the striatum, septal area, thalamus lateral nucleus group, bed nucleus of stria terminalis, hippocampus, midbrain superior colliculus, nucleus accumbens, and third ventricle.
Increased BOLD activation in the right auditory cortex, right amygdaloid body, left sensory cortex, right third ventricle, and left temporal association cortex.
Reversed UCMS-induced changes in BOLD signals in the right amygdaloid body and right visual cortex, and decreased BOLD signals in bilateral hypothalamus preoptic regions.

Stock Solution Working Solution

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.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
