| Bioactivity | TCS-OX2-29 is a potent, high affinities and selective orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) antagonist with an IC50 value of 40 nM and a pKI value of 7.5. TCS-OX2-29 displays ~250-fold selectivity for OX2 over OX1[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | TCS-OX2-29 inhibits orexin A induced IP3 accumulation and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in CHO cells transfected with the OX2 receptor[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | TCS-OX2-29 (5-10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; adult male NMRI mice) treatment suppresses conditioned place preference (CPP) acquisition and expression in both naïve and dependent mice significantly[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
