Bioactivity | Talnetant (SB 223412) is a selective, competitive, brain-permeable NK3 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 1.4 nM in hNK-3-CHO cells. Talnetant is 100-fold more selective for hNK-3 relative to the hNK-2 receptor and has no affinity for hNK-1. Talnetant can be used in schizophrenia-related studies[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Talnetant (SB 223412) (0.1-1 μM) can reduce the accumulation of NKB-induced IP in U-2OS cells expressing the human NK3 receptor[3]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Talnetant (SB 223412) (0.5-2 mg/kg iv, 2min pretreatment) can inhibit the miosis induced by senktide (25µg, iv) in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 of 0.44mg/kg in conscious rabbits[1].Talnetant (SB 223412) (i.p., 1-100 mg/kg, 1 h) can significantly attenuate senktide-induced "wet dog wagging" behavior in a dose-dependent manner, significantly increase extracellular dopamine and norepinephrine in the medial prefrontal cortex and reduce haloperidol-induced increases in dopamine levels in the vomeronasal nucleus of freely moving guinea pigs[3].
