Almorexant (ACT 078573) 是一种口服有效且竞争性的双orexin receptor拮抗剂,Kd分别为 1.3 nM (OX1) 和 0.17 nM (OX2)。Almorexant 可逆地阻断食欲素-A 和食欲素-B 多肽信号。Almorexant 完全阻断细胞内Ca2+信号通路。Almorexant 刺激 AsPC-1 细胞caspase-3活性,诱导细胞凋亡 (apoptosis)。
生物活性 | Almorexant (ACT 078573) is an orally active, potent and competitive dualorexin receptorantagonist, withKdvalues of 1.3 nM (OX1) and 0.17 nM (OX2), respectively. Almorexant reversibly blocks signaling of orexin-A and orexin-Bpeptides. Almorexant totally blocked the intracellularCa2+signal pathway. Almorexant stimulatescaspase-3activity in AsPC-1 cells and inducesapoptosis[1][2][3][4]. |

体外研究 (In Vitro) | Almorexant (1 μM) promotes tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP2/OX1R complex[1]. Almorexant (1 μM) inhibits the cellular growth of AsPC-1 cells[1].
|
体内研究 (In Vivo) | Almorexant (1.8 μmol/kg, 100 μL; IP, daily) reduces the volume of tumors[2]. Almorexant (300 mg/kg, PO, once) can help rats to be fully capable of spatial and avoidance learning[4]. Almorexant (30-300 mg/kg) dose-dependently increases rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep and decreases wakefulness apparently without inducing either cataplexy18 or deficits in next-day performance[3].
Animal Model: | Mice xenografted with AsPC-1 cells[2] | Dosage: | 1.8 μmol/kg, 100 μL | Administration: | IP, daily, starting at day 0 or day 38 | Result: | Resulted in a significant decrease in tumor volume when treatment starting at day 0. Started after AsPC-1 tumors were developed (day 38), rapidly and strongly reduced the volume of established tumors. |
Animal Model: | Long-Evans rats (24, male, 16-18 weeks of age)[4] | Dosage: | 300 mg/kg | Administration: | PO, once | Result: | Successfully learned the spatial task, established spatial memory. |
Animal Model: | Male C57BL/6 mice (Orexin/ataxin-3transgenic (TG) mice and WT mice, 32 ± 0.9 g, age 15 ± 0.5 week)[3] | Dosage: | 30, 100, 300 mg/kg (3, 10, and 30 mg/mL; 10 mL/kg) | Administration: | IP, once every 3 days | Result: | Exacerbated cataplexy in TG mice and increased nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep with heightened sleep/wake fragmentation in both genotypes during the 12-h dark period after dosing. Showed greater hypnotic potency in WT mice than in TG mice. |
