Norquetiapine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Norquetiapine ( N-Desalkylauetiapine), a metabolite of Quetiapine (HY-14544), is a selective HCN1 channel inhibitor, with an IC50 of 13.9 μM. Norquetiapine selectively inhibits noradrenaline reuptake, is a partial 5-HT1A (Ki = 45 nM) receptor agonist, and acts as an antagonist at presynapticα2 (Ki = 237 nM), 5-HT2C(Ki = 107 nM), and 5-HT7 (Ki = 76 nM) receptors. Norquetiapine blocks the human cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5 in a state-dependent manner. Norquetiapine shows partial anti-inflammatory effects in LPS (HY-D1056) injected C57BL/6 mice. Norquetiapine can be used for the study of depression and inflammation.

Norquetiapine (5 μM) blocks the human cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5 in a state-dependent manner [1].
Norquetiapine (10-30 μM, 7.5-30 min) selectively inhibits HCN1 currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes by shifting the voltage-dependence of activation to more hyperpolarized potentials and slowing channel opening, with an IC50 of 13.9 μM[2].
Norquetiapine (30 μM, 7.5-15 min) inhibits HCN4 channels in Xenopus laevis oocytes with reduced efficacy compared to HCN1 and has no significant effect on HCN2 channels[2].
Norquetiapine (30 μM, 7.5 min) inhibits HCN1 channels primarily from the closed state in Xenopus laevis oocytes, with minimal effect on open-state channels[2].
Norquetiapine exhibits varying affinities for multiple receptors and the norepinephrine transporter (NET) with Ki values as follows: 196 nM for D2, 48 nM for 5-HT2A, 107 nM for 5-HT2C, 45 nM for 5-HT1A, 76 nM for 5-HT7, 3.5 nM for H1, 144 nM for Alpha-1, 237 nM for Alpha-2, and 58 nM for NET[4].

Norquetiapine (0.1-1.0 mg/kg, i.p., daily, 12-14 days) displays potent antidepressant-like activity in VMAT2 heterozygous mice[5].

-
Animal Model:Male C57BL/6 mice (2 months old) were injected with LPS(1 mg/kg)[3]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p. once daily for 14 days
-
Result:Increased serum IL-10 levels and decreased serum IFN-γ levels at 4 h post-LPS challenge.
Showed similar regulatory effects on hippocampal IL-10 and IFN-γ gene expression at 4 h post-LPS.
Led to increased IL-1β expression in the PFC at 4 h post-LPS.
Attenuated the increased Il-10 in different brain regions at 24 h post-LPS.
Had no significant effect on LPS-induced changes in anhedonia and short-term recognition memory.
-
Animal Model:C57BL6 VMAT2 mice (with transmembrane 3 and 4 regions deleted)[5]
-
Dosage:0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p. daily for 12 or 14 days
-
Result:Reduced immobility time in VMAT2 heterozygous mice in the tail suspension test at doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg after acute administration.
Decreased immobility time in VMAT2 heterozygous mice in the tail suspension test following 14-day administration of 0.5 mg/kg.
Showed no significant effect on locomotor activity in both wild-type and VMAT2 heterozygous mice in open-field tests after acute or 14-day administration.
