Tracizoline
Tracizoline is an orally active I2-imidazoline receptor agonist. Tracizoline functionally modulates I2-imidazoline receptors, regulates hippocampal FADD cell fate adaptor, attenuates mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, activates α2A-adrenergic receptors with very weak partial agonism, and induces antidepressant-like activity via 5-HT1A receptor activation. Tracizoline can be used for the research of inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and depression.

Tracizoline (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 7 days or three doses over 24 hours) does not alter body weight, body temperature, cognitive performance, or affective-like behavior in 9-10-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
Tracizoline (10-32 mg/kg; i.p.) produces dose-dependent antihyperalgesic effects in rats with CFA-induced inflammatory pain, reaching a maximum 62.1% MPE for mechanical hyperalgesia and 72.0% MPE for thermal hyperalgesia, with ED50 values of ~10.3 mg/kg and ~10.4 mg/kg respectively[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 6 or 12 months old)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 7 days
-
Result:Increased hippocampal FADD protein content by 19% compared to saline-treated control rats.
Did not significantly alter hippocampal FADD levels compared to saline-treated control rats.
-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 9-10 months old)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily for 7 days or three doses over 24 hours
-
Result:Did not alter body weight over the 7-day treatment period.
Did not induce hypothermia (no significant change in core body temperature compared to controls).
Did not change the time needed to complete the 8-arm radial maze or the number of errors committed on day 1 or day 8.
Did not significantly alter the time spent immobile or climbing in the forced-swim test compared to saline-treated control rats.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (adult male, CFA-induced inflammatory pain)[2]
-
Dosage:3.2 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg; 32 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.
-
Result:Increased paw withdrawal threshold (mechanical hyperalgesia) and paw withdrawal latency (thermal hyperalgesia) dose-dependently in the CFA-treated paw, with no effect on the non-injured paw.
Significantly increased both paw withdrawal threshold and paw withdrawal latency in the CFA-treated paw at 10 mg/kg and 32 mg/kg (P < 0.05).
Produced a maximum of 62.1% maximal possible effect (MPE) in the von Frey test (mechanical hyperalgesia) and 72.0% MPE in the plantar test (thermal hyperalgesia).
Reached ED50 values of 10 mg/kg in the von Frey test and 10 mg/kg in the plantar test.
