Description of CX 546

CX 546 is a potent activator of 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor, with an EC50 value of 93.2µM[1]. CX 546 greatly prolonged the duration of synaptic responses and hippocampal excitatory postsynaptic currents in animals[2]. CX 546 has been widely used as a regulator of central nervous system functions and is involved in influencing various energy metabolism pathways[3].

In vitro, CX 546 treatment at 50μM for 48 hours led to an increase in cell proliferation and enhanced viability in subventricular zone (SVZ) cells of mice[4]. CX 546 treatment at 200μM for 72 hours reversed the inhibition of viability caused by cisplatin (10μM) and reduced cell death[5].

In,vivo, CX 546 treatment (0.5mg/kg/day) via intraperitoneally administration into the infarction rat model for 4 weeks exacerbated the infarction symptoms and tissue damage, activated the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, and impaired the cardiac function[6]. A single intraperitoneal injection of CX 546 at a dose of 16mg/kg into newborn rats can effectively reverse the respiratory depression caused by opioid drugs and barbiturate drugs within 60min[7]. Intraperitoneally injecting a single dose of CX 546 (10mg/kg) into the rat model could suppress chronic neuropathic pain caused by acute noxious stimulus within 5 minutes[8].

Protocol of CX 546

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

OVCAR8 cells

Preparation Method

The established OVCAR8 cell line was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium, which contained 300mg/L l-glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum and 1× penicillin/streptomycin. The cells were seeded at a density of approximately 1 × 104 cells per well in transparent 96-well plates, with a final volume of 200μL. The culture plates were incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 exposed to 10μM Cisplatin with or without increasing concentrations of CX 546 (50μM, 100μM, 200μM, 300μM) for 72 hours. Cell viability was determined using a cell viability kit.

Reaction Conditions

50μM, 100μM, 200μM, 300μM; 72h

Applications

CX 546 significantly reversed the inhibition of viability caused by cisplatin in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats

Preparation Method

Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were raised in a pathogen-free environment with a temperature of 20-22 °C and a relative humidity of 50-55%. The rats had free access to food and water. The rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: (1) Sham group; (2) Myocardial infarction group (MI), with the left coronary artery (left anterior descending branch [LAD]) ligated; (3) MI + CX 546 treatment group (MI + CX); (4) MI + NBQX treatment group (MI + NB). The second, third, and fourth groups underwent LAD ligation surgery. The rats that underwent the surgery were anesthetized intraperitoneally with a 3% pentobarbital sodium solution (2mL/kg) and had their tracheas intubated to support breathing. The Sham group only sutured the heart without ligation. The remaining rats underwent open-chest surgery and then ligated the left anterior descending branch (LAD), followed by closing the chest. The successful induction of the myocardial infarction model was confirmed by observing ST segment elevation on the electrocardiogram recorder or the appearance of pale areas in the proximal ventricular region at the distal end of the ligated line. After the surgery, all rats were intramuscularly injected with penicillin (200,000IU/day) for one week. CX 546 (0.5mg/kg/day) and NBQX (1mg/kg/day) were intraperitoneally injected into rats in groups (3) and (4) for 4 consecutive weeks after performing the LAD ligation procedure. The rats were anesthetized with a lethal dose and sacrificed, and their hearts were removed and rapidly fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for more than 24 hours. The fixed heart tissues were embedded in paraffin and cut into 5μm thick sections. Masson's trichrome staining was used to observe the morphology of the heart tissue and evaluate the degree of fibrosis in the infarcted myocardium.

Dosage form

0.5mg/kg/day for 4 weeks; i.p.

Applications

CX 546 treatment exacerbated the symptoms and tissue damage of the infarction in infarcted rats.
