LY-344864 HCl, the hydrochloride salt of LY344864, is a novel, potent and selective receptor agonist of 5-HT1F with Ki of 6 nM. The 56 additional serotonergic and non-serotonergic neuronal binding sites that were analyzed revealed minimal affinity for it. A full agonist with an effect comparable to serotonin itself, LY344864 was demonstrated to be.

| ln Vivo |
LY 344864 (0-10 ng/kg; p.o. or i.v.; once) inhibits neurogenic dural inflammation in rat migraine pain model[1]. LY 344864 (1 mg/kg; intravenously; once) can partially penetrate the blood-brain barrier in rats[1]. LY 344864 (2 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 14 days) reduces the loss of dopaminergic neurons and improves behavioral endpoints in a Parkinson’s disease mouse model[2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Male Wistar rats, migraine pain model 1-10 ng/kg (oral), 0.3-2 ng/kg (intravenous) Oral, 75 minutes before trigeminal stimulation or intravenous, 10 minutes before trigeminal stimulation |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Oral Formulation 3: Dissolved in PEG400 Oral Formulation 4: Suspend in 0.2% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 5: Dissolve in 0.25% Tween 80 and 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 6: Mixing with food powders Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
