SCH 50911 is a selective, orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable GABA-B receptor (GABA-B Receptor) antagonist with an IC50 of 1.1 μM in rats. SCH 50911 blocks baclofen-induced antitussive effects, regulates neuronal firing and GABA release. SCH 50911 promotes spontaneous seizures during withdrawal in ethanol-dependent rats, alters reward-related neurotransmission, and reduces or suppresses lever responding and self-administration behaviors of alcohol and sucrose in rats. SCH 50911 is applicable to research related to ethanol withdrawal syndrome, absence epilepsy and alcohol use disorder.

Description

SCH 50911 is a selective, orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable GABA-B receptor (GABA-B Receptor) antagonist with an IC50 of 1.1 μM in rats. SCH 50911 blocks baclofen-induced antitussive effects, regulates neuronal firing and GABA release. SCH 50911 promotes spontaneous seizures during withdrawal in ethanol-dependent rats, alters reward-related neurotransmission, and reduces or suppresses lever responding and self-administration behaviors of alcohol and sucrose in rats. SCH 50911 is applicable to research related to ethanol withdrawal syndrome, absence epilepsy and alcohol use disorder[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

GABA(B)

1.1 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

SCH 50911 (1.1-2.2 μM) potently inhibits GABA binding to GABA-B receptors in rat brain with an IC50 of 1.1 μM, and shows no binding affinity for most tested non-GABA-B receptors aside from weak activity in a nonspecific muscarinic binding assay[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

SCH 50911 (100-300 mg/kg; i.p.; single acute dose) produces a significant, dose-dependent proconvulsive effect in rats undergoing ethanol withdrawal syndrome, with the 300 mg/kg dose inducing tonic-clonic seizures in 44% of treated rats[2].
Sch 50911 suppresses multiple forms of absence seizures in lethargic (lh/lh) mutant mice[3].
Sch 50911 (systemic) crosses the blood-brain barrier and blocks Baclofen (HY-B0007)-induced central antitussive and respiratory depressant effects in Felis catus and Cavia porcellus[3].
SCH 50911 (25-100 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; 30 minutes before test session) reduces operant alcohol self-administration in male sP rats, with statistically significant ~35% and ~65% reductions in alcohol lever-responses at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively, and marked interindividual response variability[4].
SCH 50911 (100 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; 30 minutes before test session) produces a statistically significant ~70% reduction in operant sucrose self-administration in male sP rats, with marked interindividual response variability[4].

Produced a statistically significant ~45% reduction in alcohol lever-responses at 100 mg/kg (replication experiment).
Induced virtually complete suppression of alcohol lever-responses in 0/16, 5/16, and 8/16 rats at 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively.
Revealed four response variability subgroups in combined data (n=32 rats): 10/32 rats showed dose-related reduction with multiple doses; 6/32 rats showed reduction only at 100 mg/kg; 10/32 rats showed V-shaped response pattern; 6/32 rats showed no effect from any dose.
Animal Model: Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats (male, 55 days old, 95th to 97th generations, trained to lever-respond for sucrose solution under fixed ratio 4 schedule)[4]
Dosage: 25 mg/kg; 50 mg/kg; 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose; 30 minutes before 30-minute test session

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.
