Protocol

Kinase experiment:

These assays are done in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 7 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT. Assay tubes (final volume 250 μL) contain 50 μM (striatum and hippocampus) or 1 μM (D2 and D3 cell membrane) GDP, the ligand to be examined, and membrane suspension (250 μg tissue/tube for the striatum and hippocampus and 20 μg protein/tube for hD2 and hD3 membranes). Samples are preincubated for 10 min at 30°C. After the addition of 50 pM [35S]GTPγS, membranes are incubated for an additional 60 min at 30°C. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of 10 μM GTPγS; basal binding is determined in the presence of buffer only. The assay is terminated by rapid filtration through UniFilter GF/B using a harvester, and the membranes washed four times with 1 mL of ice-cold buffer. After drying (40°C for 1 h), 40 μL of Microscint is added to the filters, and the bound radioactivity is determined by a TopCount NXT counter[2].

Cell experiment:

Cells are seeded on a 24-well tissue culture plate in 500 μL of medium. Fifty microliters of medium containing 0.55 μCi myo-[3H]inositol is added (final concentration 1 μCi/mL) and incubated for 18-20 h. Cells are then washed three times with buffer containing 140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 5 mM HEPES, 5 mM Na-HEPES, 20 mM glucose, and 10 mM LiCl (pH 7.4). Cells are then incubated for an additional 60 min (37°C) in medium with test compounds alone (agonist test) or alongside 1000 nM (±)-Quinpirole (antagonist test). Medium is then aspirated off, cells are lysed by adding 400 μL of 0.1 M HCl/2 mM CaCl2, and supernatants are frozen at −72°C. After thawing and centrifugation at 1000g for 10 min, 200 μL of each supernatant is loaded on 250 μL of AG1-X8 (formate form) anion exchange column. Effluent is discarded, and columns are washed twice in 1.5 mL of distilled water. IPs are eluted with 2.5 mL of 1 M ammonium formate/0.1 M formic acid directly into scintillation vials, 10 mL of Optiphase HiSafe 3 is added, and the radioactivity is determined in a TriCarb 4900 scintillation counter[2].

Animal experiment:

Mice[3] Experiments are performed on wild-type C57Bl/6J mice. In tests of cognitive functions, it is essential to employ concentrations of drugs that have no effects on emotional behavior and that do not impair locomotor activity. Whether Cariprazine (administered at a dose range of 0.005 to 0.15 mg/kg) is first tested affected the behavior of mice in the EPM, a test of anxiety-related behavior that is also critically dependent upon normal locomotor activity. Animals are exposed to an EPM apparatus designed for mice (leg height: 45 cm, arm length: 35 cm, lane width: 5 cm, wall height: 15 cm). Testing (under 100 lux lighting) is performed between 1 and 4 PM. Mice are placed in the center of the maze and their time spent in open arms and the number of closed and open arm entries during a 5 min test period is recorded. Measures of the time spent in open arms and the number of open arm entries served as a measure of anxiety-like behavior. The number of closed arm entries served as a measure of locomotor activity. Rats[4] Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-300 g) are used. Cariprazine is dissolved in 0.9% saline and administered at 0.06, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection 1 h before i.c.v. injection of ouabain and daily thereafter for 7 days. Open field activity is assessed immediately following the i.c.v. injection and again after 7 days (the activity is noted 10-14 h after the last i.p. injection of Cariprazine).

Background

Description: IC50 Value: 0.5 and 0.09 nM (Ki for D2 and D3 receptor respectively); 2.6 and 180 nM(Ki for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor respectively) [1] Cariprazine is a novel antipsychotic drug candidate that exhibits high selectivity and affinity to dopamine D(3) and D(2) receptors and moderate affinity to serotonin 5-HT(1A) receptors. in vitro: Cariprazine had lower affinity at human and rat hippocampal 5-HT(1A) receptors (pK(i) 8.59 and 8.34, respectively) and demonstrated low intrinsic efficacy.Cariprazine displayed low affinity at human 5-HT(2A) receptors (pK(i) 7.73). Moderate or low affinity for histamine H(1) and 5-HT(2C) receptors (pK(i) 7.63 and 6.87, respectively) suggest cariprazine's reduced propensity for adverse events related to these receptors [2]. in vivo: Doses ≥ 1.5 mg/d yielded 69 - 75% D2/D3 receptor occupancy as measured in positron emission tomography scans. Mean half-life for cariprazine was 2 - 5 d over a dose range of 1.5 - 12.5 mg [3]. Cariprazine, as well as aripiprazole and bifeprunox, were able to reduce the rewarding effect of cocaine (minimum effective doses were 0.17, 1, and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively) and attenuated relapse to cocaine seeking with half maximal effective dose [ED??] values of 0.2, 4.2, and 0.17 mg/kg, respectively [4]. Toxicity: In the fixed-dose study of cariprazine that tested 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mg/day, the most commonly encountered adverse events were insomnia, extrapyramidal disorder, sedation, akathisia, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, anxiety, and constipation [5]. Clinical trial: Cariprazine is in phase III clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia and in patients with bipolar disorder.
