Biological Activity
| Targets | GPR52 ( IC50 = 75 nM ) |
| ln Vitro | TP-024 (FTBMT) (0.1-10 μM) raises intracellular cAMP levels in CHO cells expressing human, mouse, or rat GPR52, with pEC50s of 7.03, 6.85, and 6.87, respectively[2]. |
| ln Vivo |
TP-024 (FTBMT) (30 mg/kg, 90 minutes) shows antipsychotic-like effects without inducing catalepsy in mice[2]. TP-024 (3 or 10 mg/kg, 48 hours) enhances spatial working memory and recognition in rats[2]. TP-024 (3, 10, 30 mg/kg, 2 hours) stimulates neuronal activity in brain regions linked to cognition[2]. |
| Cell Assay | Cell Line: CHO cells (expressing GPR52 receptors) cAMP assay Concentration: 0.1-10 μM Incubation Time: 30 minutes Result: FTBMT activated cAMP signaling in vitro[1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Male Long-Evans rats (9 weeks old) 10 mg/kg Oral, 1 hour before memory test |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ~50 mg/mL (~127.4 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.30 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.30 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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
