Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Primary rat cortical cells

Preparation Method

Receptor parameters (density affinity and mRNA levels) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA levels in rat primary cortical cells after 24 h of Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) (200/400 ng/ml) treatment under in vitro conditions

Reaction Conditions

Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) (200/400 ng/ml)for 24h

Applications

A significant decrease was found in primary cortical cells for 5-HT(2) receptor density (Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) 200/ 400/ 200 and Cloz-N-oxide 200 vs. control) and 5-HT(2A) receptor mRNA levels (Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) 200 vs. control).

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

β-RQ and β-RS Tg mice

Preparation Method

To determine the in vivo effects of acute activation of β-cell G q /11 or G S signaling on glucose homeostasis, mice were injected with increased doses of Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) (0.0001-10 mg/kg) and blood glucose levels were monitored for 2 h. Before the experiment began, all mice were free to eat and were given.

Dosage form

0.0001-10 mg/kg Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) for 2 h

Applications

In both β-R-q and β-R-s Tg mice, Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) treatment resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in blood glucose levels and increased plasma insulin concentrations, demonstrating that the degree of β cell G protein signaling could be titrated according to the Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) dose administered.

Background

Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) is a potent dopamine antagonist and also a potent and selective muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50=11 nM) agonist[5,6].Clozapine N-oxide also is a major metabolite of Clozapine and a human muscarinic designer receptors (DREADDs) agonist[1,2]. Clozapine N-oxide activates the DREADD receptor hM3Dq and hM4Di. Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) is a pharmacologically inert molecule that lacks a significant (<1 μm) affinity for the receptor[3]. Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) is highly bioavailable in rodents and humans[4]

Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) significantly reduces the density of the 5-HT2 receptor in rat cortical cells, A significant decrease was found in primary cortical cells for 5-HT(2) receptor density and 5-HT(2A) receptor mRNA levels[7].

In both β-R-q and β-R-s Tg mice, Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) treatment resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in blood glucose levels and increased plasma insulin concentrations, demonstrating that the degree of β cell G protein signaling could be titrated according to the Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) dose administered[8].Oral Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) administration via drinking water to mice expressing rM3Dq in pancreatic β-cells led to robust metabolic phenotypes, indicating that significant amounts of Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract[9].It created transgenic mice expressing an evolved G protein-coupled receptor (hM3Dq) selectively activated by the pharmacologically inert, orally bioavailable drug Clozapine N-oxide (CNO).Local field potential and single-neuron recordings revealed that peripheral administration of Clozapine N-oxide(CNO) activated hippocampal neurons selectively in hM3Dq-expressing mice. Behavioral correlates of neuronal activation included increased locomotion, stereotypy, and limbic seizures[10].
