Biological Activity
NCS-382 (0.5 nM, 24 h) shows no capacity for inhibition of microsomal CYPs (CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4) and minimal potential for activation of xenobiotic nuclear receptors in HepG2 cells[2]. NCS-382 (0.01-1000 μM, 24 h) shows low probability of cellular toxicity in HepG2 cells[2]. NCS-382 is a GHBR antagonist with IC50s of 134.1 nM and 201.3 nM in isolated rat striatum and hippocampus membranes, respectively[4].

Cell Line:HepG2 cells
-
Concentration:0.01-1000 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Reduced HepG2 cell viability at a concentration of 1 mM, and this same concentration did not induce apoptosis or cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells.
At a dose of 500 mg/kg, it may preferentially reside in the liver after intraperitoneal administration in mouse model[1].
At a dose of 500 mg/kg, brain permeability improves, as evidenced by an increase in brain serum ratio in mouse model[1].
NCS-382 (0.83-2.08 mmol/kg; i.p.) reduces GHB-induced increases in the time mice spent immobile in the forced swim test, indicating anti-sedative activity, when administered at doses of 1.66 and 2.08 mmol/kg in mice model[3].
NCS-382 (2.3 mmol/kg; i.p.) decreases spike and wave discharges in audiogenic seizure-susceptible Swiss Rb mice, as well as a rat model of petit mal epilepsy [4].

Animal Model:GBL induced mouse model[1]
-
Dosage:300 mg/kg(Combined with diclofenac (25 mg/kg))
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), Thirty minutes later, mice were given an i.p. injection of GBL (100 mg/kg diluted in PBS)
-
Result:In the presence of diclofenac, it was highly protective against GBL mediated responses.
-
Animal Model:GBL induced mouse model[3]
