Biological Activity
| Targets | KOR ( Ki = 0.72 nM ); KOR ( Kb = 0.63 nM ) |
| ln Vitro | LY2795050 exhibits antagonist activity with a Kb value of 0.63 nM and high affinity for the KOR with a Ki value of 0.72 nM[1]. |
| ln Vivo | LY2795050 (i.p., 0.032-0.1 mg/kg, 30 min) prevents dose-dependent grooming deficits caused by U50,488 in male and female mice[2]. Some behavioral effects of LY2795050 (i.p., 0.032-0.1 mg/kg, 0-150 min) exhibit sexual dimorphism[2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
C57BL/6J mice (gonadally intact, adult, male and female) 0.032-0.1 mg/kg i.p., 0.032-0.1mg/kg, 30 min |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ~50 mg/mL (~122.6 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.13 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 (6.13 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 (6.13 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.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
