Product Description

CTEP (also called RO4956371; RO 4956371; RO-4956371) is a long-acting and orally bioavailable allosteric antagonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) receptor with important biological activity. It inhibits mGlu5 with an IC50 of 2.2 nM and exhibits >1000-fold selectivity for mGlu5 over other mGlu receptors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In HEK293 cells that are stable in the expression of human mGlu5, CTEP (RO 4956371) inhibits quisqualate-induced Ca2+ mobilization with an IC50 of 11.4 nM and [3H]IP accumulation with an IC50 of 6.4 nM. In HEK293 cells that are stable in expressing human mGlu5, CTEP (RO 4956371) inhibits the constitutive activity of human mGlu5 by roughly 50% at an IC50 of 40.1 nM[1].
ln Vivo
In mice treated for anxiety, CTEP (RO 4956371) is notably effective at doses of 0.1 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg. In the Vogel conflict drinking test, CTEP (RO 4956371) has no impact at lower dosages but considerably lengthens drinking times at 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg. The B/P ratio based on total drug concentrations in plasma and whole brain homogenates is 2.6 in mice, while the half-life of CTEP (RO 4956371) (oral) is 18 hours. After being given to adult C57BL/6 mice in single oral dosages of 4.5 and 8.7 mg/kg as a microsuspension in a saline/Tween vehicle, CTEP (RO 4956371) is quickly absorbed and reaches nearly maximal exposure in about 30 minutes. The minimum CTEP (RO 4956371) brain exposure in adult mice administered chronically at a dose of 2 mg/kg po every 48 hours for two months is 240 ng/g. CTEP (RO 4956371) completely displaces [3H]ABP688 in mouse brain regions where mGlu5 expression is known, and dosages that result in an average compound concentration of 77.5 ng/g when evaluated in whole brain homogenate can accomplish 50% displacement[1]. In mice, continuous mGlu5 occupancy is achieved every 48 hours with CTEP (RO 4956371; 2 mg/kg, po bid). The Fmr1 knockout mouse's heightened hippocampus long-term depression, excessive protein synthesis, and audiogenic seizures are corrected by CTEP (RO 4956371) (2 mg/kg, po) treatment[2].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in 0.9% NaCl (w/v) and 0.3% Tween 80 (v/v) solution; 1 mg/kg; oral gavage
Male Sprague-Dawley rats

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
