Description of Aprepitant

Aprepitant is a novel and highly selective Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist[1]. Aprepitant has a Kd value of 86pM for the human NK-1 receptor, and IC50 values ​​of 0.1nM, 4nM, and 0.7nM for human, rat, and ferret NK-1 receptors, respectively[2].

In vitro, treatment with Aprepitant (5-30μM) for 24-48h exerted cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects on Nalm-6 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[3]. IC50 for Aprepitant against HEK 293 cells was >90μM[2]. Aprepitant, at 10-60mM concentrations for 72h, elicits cell growth inhibition in a concentration-dependent manner in all melanoma cell lines[4].

In vivo, Intraperitoneal administration of aprepitant (10mg/kg/d) for 3 days attenuated the expression of Conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by psychostimulants, AMPH and cocaine while enhancing morphine induced CPP[5].

Protocol of Aprepitant

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Nalm-6

Preparation Method

A stock solution of Aprepitant at the concentration of 10mM was prepared by dissolving the compound in 0.1% DMSO. Cells were treated with relevant amounts of the Aprepitant stock solution to attain concentration of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30µM. In addition to the 4 negative controls (no inhibitor), cells were treated with the corresponding concentration of DMSO as an alternative negative control.

Reaction Conditions

5, 10, 15, 20 and 30µM; 24-36h

Applications

Aprepitant decreased the viability and cell counts, induced rate of DNA synthesis, induced accumulation of the cells in G1 phase, and decreased the cells population in S phase in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Aprepitant was dissolved in DMSO and diluted with saline, resulting in a final DMSO concentration of 0.002%.

Dosage form

10mg/kg/d; 3d; i.p.

Applications

When compared to vehicle, Aprepitant significantly reduced the CPP expression and locomotor activation.
