AMPA Receptor

26 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

JNJ-55511118 is a potent, selective negative modulator of TARP-γ8-containing AMPA receptors, with a mean pIC50 value ranging from 7.42 to 8.33 across human, rat, mouse, monkey, and canine GluA-γ8 combinations, and it shows no activity against TARP-containing AMPA receptors without γ8 or TARP-free AMPA receptors[2].
JNJ-55511118 (1 μM; 50-60 s) partially inhibits glutamate-evoked currents in heterologously expressed TARP-γ8-containing AMPA receptors by accelerating desensitization and inactivation processes[2].
JNJ-55511118 exerts weak antagonistic activity against human 5-HT2B receptors (IC50 = 6 μM)[2].

In Vivo

JNJ-55511118 (0-10 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) significantly reduces multiple indices of voluntary sweet wine intake in male C57BL/6J mice, without decreasing parameters related to voluntary sweet wine consumption in female C57BL/6J mice, but the 10 mg/kg dose alters lever discrimination behavior by increasing the number of responses on the inactive lever[1].
JNJ-55511118 (i.v./p.o., 0-10 mg/kg, single administration) dose-dependently suppresses population spikes in the hippocampal CA1 region in anesthetized rats, with an ED50 of 0.4 mg/kg for intravenous injection. It also dose-dependently reduces cortical electroencephalogram power across multiple frequency bands in freely moving rats, and transient hyperactivity occurs at the oral dose of 10 mg/kg[2].
JNJ-55511118 (p.o.; single dose, 0-40 mg/kg) exerts potent, near-complete seizure protection in corneal and amygdala-kindled mouse models, with an oral ED50 of 3.7 mg/kg. It produces partially dose-dependent seizure protection in the 6 Hz psychomotor seizure model of *Mus musculus*, with ED50 values of 18.3 mg/kg p.o. (32 mA) and 6.5 mg/kg p.o. (44 mA), respectively, and elevates the convulsive threshold of mice to PTZ[2].

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.

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.
