Bioactivity | SB-649868 is a potent and selective orally active orexin (OX) 1 and OX2 receptor antagonist (pKi =9.4 and 9.5 at the OX1 and OX2 receptor, respectively). | ||||||||||||
Target | pKi: 9.4 (OX1), 9.5 (OX2) | ||||||||||||
Invitro | SB-649868 is identified as one the most in vitro potent dual OX1 and OX2 receptor antagonist known at that time (pKi=9.4 and 9.5 at the OX1 and OX2 receptor, respectively) [1]. SB-649868 antagonizes orexin-A-induced inositol 1 phosphate (IP1) accumulation with the following pKB value (OX1=9.67; OX2=9.64). SB-649868 displaces the [3H]ACT-078573 receptor binding with the following pKi values: OX1=9.27; OX2=8.91. Increasing concentrations of SB-649868 (0.3 nM-30 nM) induces a rightward shift of the orexin-A CRCs with a depression of the agonist efficacy suggesting a clear non-surmountable behavior. The calculated apparent pKb values are 9.67±0.03 and 9.64±0.07 for OX1 and OX2[2]. | ||||||||||||
