VU6008055
Based on 1 Customer Validation
VU6008055 (AF98943) is a brain-penetrant, orally active and selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 4 (mAChR4) activator with human EC50 values of 73.4 nM. VU6008055 potentiates mAChR4 receptor activity in the presence of acetylcholine, and exhibits no activity at mAChR1, mAChR3, or mAChR5. VU6008055 can be used for the research of schizophrenia, parkinson’s disease, alzheimer’s disease.

Biological Activity
|
mAChR4 73.4 nM (EC50) |
VU6008055 potently potentiates acetylcholine-evoked calcium mobilization in CHO cells expressing human M4 with an EC50 of 73.4 nM and a maximum response of 91% of the acetylcholine maximum[1].
VU6008055 potently potentiates acetylcholine-evoked calcium mobilization in CHO cells expressing rat M4 with an EC50 of 19.5 nM and a maximum response of 81% of the acetylcholine maximum[1].
VU6008055 does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 at concentrations up to 15 μM and does not cause time-dependent CYP inhibition[1].
VU6008055 does not form reactive intermediates/metabolites in human liver microsomes[1].
VU6008055 (10 μM) has no significant inhibitory activity against cardiac ion channels[1].
VU6008055 (4 h) shows moderate metabolic turnover in human hepatocytes, with low to high turnover across other preclinical species, and forms two predominant metabolites (MT4, MT5) in humans[1].

VU6008055 (0.3-3 mg/kg; p.o.) attenuates MK-801 (HY-15084B)-induced hyperlocomotion in male Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
VU6008055 (3 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; 7 days) does not induce tolerance to its antipsychotic-like activity in male Sprague-Dawley rats, producing ~50.6% reversal of Amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion[1].
VU6008055 (0.3-30 mg/kg; p.o.) only moderately disrupts conditioned avoidance responses in male Wistar-Han rats at a high dose of 30 mg/kg, with no significant effect at lower doses[1].
VU6008055 (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.) dose-dependently blocks Amphetamine-induced brain activation in male Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
VU6008055 (0.1-10 mg/kg; p.o.) dose-dependently increases high gamma power, an EEG marker of arousal, in awake male Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
