Based on 12 publication(s) in Google Scholar
SB-334867 (SB 334867A) is an excellent,selective and blood-brain barrier permeable orexin-1 (OX1) receptor antagonist, shows selectivity over OX2 (pKb=7.4), 100-fold over 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C with pKi values of 5.4 and 5.3, respectively. SB-334867 reduces ethanol consumption and inhibits the acquisition of morphine-induced sensitization to locomotor activity in vivo.

SB-334867 (100 pM- 10 μM) inhibits the orexin-A (10 nM) and orexin-B (100 nM)-induced calcium responses in a concentration-dependent manner, with apparent pKb values of 7.27±0.04 and 7.23±0.03, but has no effect on the calcium response elicited by UTP (3 μM), which activates an endogenous purinergic receptor in CHO-OX1 and CHO-OX2 cells[4].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 0.33 mg/mL (0.93 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.33 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (3.3 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 0.33 mg/mL (0.93 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.33 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (3.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
