Biological Activity
| Targets | D4 Receptor |
| ln Vitro | ABT-724 displays a selective biochemical profile, as demonstrated by its lack of binding affinity for over 70 neurotransmitter/uptake/ion channels, such as D2, D3, or D5 receptors, at concentrations up to 10 μM. There's a low affinity (Ki = 2780 nM) for 5-HT1A receptors. At concentrations of 10 μM, ABT-724 does not inhibit PDE activity of PDE1, PDE5, or PDE6[1]. |
| ln Vivo | ABT-724 (8.8 μg/kg; subcutaneous injection; daily; for 5 days; male adult Wistar rats) treatment dose-dependently promotes penile erection when administered subcutaneously to conscious rats[1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Male adult Wistar rats (~300 g) 8.8 μg/kg Subcutaneous injection; daily; for 5 days |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) |
H2O: ≥ 100 mg/mL (~248.3 mM) DMSO: ~20 mg/mL (~49.7 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 4: 100 mg/mL (248.29 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
