PF-4455242 hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
PF-4455242 hydrochloride is an orally bioavailable, blood-brain barrier-permeable κ-opioid receptor (KOR) inhibitor. PF-4455242 hydrochloride blocks in vivo effects induced by KOR and MOR agonists, and elicits KOR-independent outward currents in ventral tegmental area neurons. PF-4455242 hydrochloride promotes energy expenditure and activates the hypothalamic mTOR pathway. PF-4455242 hydrochloride attenuates stress-induced behavioral effects and produces antidepressant-like effects. PF-4455242 hydrochloride can be used in studies related to pain, depression, addictive disorders, and obesity induced by estrogen withdrawal.

Biological Activity
PF-04455242 (100 nM-1 μM) hydrochloride is a partial κ-opioid receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 6.7 nM in dopamine neurons of the rat ventral tegmental area (VTA); at concentrations of 100 nM and 1 μM, it induces outward K+ currents in a subset of these neurons[2].
PF-04455242 (60 minutes at room temperature) hydrochloride binds with high affinity (Ki = 3 nM) to human KOR stably expressed in CHO cells, and also binds with high affinity to rat KOR stably expressed in CHO cells (Ki = 21 nM) as well as mouse primary forebrain KOR (Ki = 22 nM)[4].
PF-04455242 (treated at 30°C for 20 min; treated at 30°C for 30 min) hydrochloride acts as an antagonist of human KOR stably expressed in CHO cells, with higher potency (Ki = 1.2 nM) than that against human MOR (Ki = 10 nM)[4].

PF-04455242 (0.32-10 mg/kg; s.c.; single dose; 1 h before agonist administration) hydrochloride dose-dependently blocks the analgesic effects induced by KOR and MOR agonists in rats, and achieves dose-dependent, time-limited target binding to KOR and MOR in rat brains[4].
PF-04455242 (0.32-10 mg/kg; s.c.n; single administration; 30 minutes prior to Spiradoline treatment) hydrochloride dose-dependently blocks Spiradoline (HY-106756)-induced elevation of plasma prolactin in rats, with an ED50 of 2.3 mg/kg[4].
PF-04455242 (0.32-10 mg/kg; s.c.; single administration; 1 h before testing) hydrochloride exhibits antidepressant-like efficacy in the mouse forced swim test, alleviates depression-like social defeat behavior in mice following repeated stress exposure, and prevents stress-induced reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior in mice[4].
