Description of Farampator

Farampator (CX-691;Org24448) is an AMPA receptor positive modulator.

Farampator has potential in treating disorders characterised by cognitive deficits such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. CX691 attenuates a scopolamine-induced impairment of cued fear conditioning following acute administration (0.1 mg/kg p.o.) and a temporally induced deficit in novel object recognition following both acute (0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg p.o.) and sub-chronic (bi-daily for 7 days) administration (0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mg/kg p.o.). It also improves attentional set-shifting following sub-chronic administration (0.3 mg/kg p.o.)[1]. Farampator (500 mg) unequivocally improves short-term memory but appeares to impair episodic memory. Furthermore, it tends to decrease the number of switching errors in the CTMT. Drug-induced side effects (SEs) included headache, somnolence and nausea. Subjects with SEs has significantly higher plasma levels of farampator than subjects without SEs[2].

Protocol of Farampator

Animal experiment:

Rats: Rats are dosed acutely with CX691 (0.1, 0.3 and 1.0; 2 ml/kg; p.o.) or vehicle (1% methylcellulose; 1 ml/kg; p.o.), and microdialysate samples are collected every 30 min for 4 h post dose. At the end of each experimental day, animals are returned to their home cage and re-used in a randomised cross-over design, allowing at least 7 days drug ishout before subsequent use. After the completion of the final microdialysis experiment, animals are killed, and brains are removed and stored in formalin solution for probe placement verification[1].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
