Suvecaltamide (MK8998; compound 33; MK-8998) is a novel potent and selective antagonist of the T-type calcium channel that is being investigated as a potential new therapeutic for the treatment of schizophrenia. MK-8998 is not effective in treating acutely psychotic inpatients with schizophrenia. There are no significant differences between either MK-8998 or olanzapine versus placebo at any time point. MK-8998 and olanzapine are generally well tolerated but are associated with a higher percentage of adverse events compared with placebo.

Depolarized Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR) Assay. [2]
A depolarized cell line was created by stable transfection of pcDNA4/TO containing CaV3.3 (similar to GenBAnk AF211189 with I1005V) into tetracycline inducible T-Rex TM-HEK 293 cell using Fugene 6. Cells were plated and grown overnight in media supplemented with 0.5 μg/ml tetracycline to induce channel expression. The following day, cells were washed in Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) containing 0.05 mM Ca2+, 20 mM HEPES, and 250 μM Probenecid. Fluo4 (2.5 μM), Pluronic F-127 (0.0025%), TR40 (0.8 mM), BSA (0.1%), and various concentrations of test compound were added such that the final concentration of DMSO was 0.5%. Cells were placed in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 1 h. The plate was then placed in the FLIPR instrument where baseline fluorescence was recorded, a stimulus of 2 mM Ca2+ was added and recording continued. Percent inhibition was calculated relative to baseline-subtracted signal derived from wells containing only DMSO. Potency was determined as the inflection point from a 4-parameter sigmoidal fit to the data. |

| Animal Protocol |
WAG/Rij Rat Seizure Model. [2]
Adult male Wistar Albino Glaxo Rijswijk rats (~600 g) were implanted subcutaneously with radiotelemetric physiologic monitors (Model: TL10M3F50-EEE or F40-EET) to record the electrocorticogram (ECoG). Animals were housed individually in plastic cages and provided water and food ad libitum. Lights were on a 12:12 hour light/dark cycle with lights off at 4:00 a.m. and on at 4:00 p.m. Signals were collected simultaneously from the animals with Dataquest A.R.T. 3.0/3.1 software at 500 Hz and stored on a PC for off-line analysis. Following the completion of the data collection, all data were scored using the automated seizure scoring software in Somnologica Science. Epileptiform activity was characterized as having a minimum duration of 1 s, maximum duration of 1 min, minimum threshold of 50 mV, standard deviation from background of 3.5, and with a minimum of three consecutive spikes. In a 2-day study design, rats (n = 3) were dosed by oral gavage at 9:00 a.m. with 1 ml of vehicle [90% polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400)/10% water] on day 1. On day 2, rats were dosed at 9:00 a.m. with 1 ml of vehicle containing 10 mg/kg test compound. ECoG recordings were started just prior to compound administration and continued for 24 h each day. Cumulative seizure duration was calculated in 20-minute bins starting at the time of dosing and percent inhibition values (4-hours & 15-hours post-dose) were calculated relative to the same time from baseline recordings on the previous day. Cumulative seizure duration values were averaged for all animals by treatment (baseline, compound) and normalized to the last baseline bin value and multiplied by 100 to obtain a cumulative normalized percent of baseline. |

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether the T-type calcium channel antagonist MK-8998 was effective in treating acute psychosis in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study. After a placebo lead-in, acutely psychotic inpatients with schizophrenia were randomized to 4 weeks of MK-8998 12/16 mg daily (N = 86), olanzapine 10/15 mg daily (N = 47), or placebo (N = 83). The primary efficacy measure was score on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).
Results: Out of 216 randomized patients, 158 completed the 4-week study: MK-8998 = 58 (67.4%), olanzapine = 38 (80.9%), and placebo = 62 (74.7%). The mean changes from baseline in PANSS score at week 4 for MK-8998 and olanzapine were not significantly different from placebo: MK-8998-placebo difference = -0.6 [95% confidence interval (CI): -7.0, 5.8], p = 0.9; olanzapine-placebo difference = -4.3 [95% CI: -11.7, 3.1), p = 0.3. A responder rate analysis (≥20% improvement from baseline in PANSS score) suggested an advantage of olanzapine over placebo (odds ratio = 2.20 [95% CI: 0.95, 5.09], p = 0.07) but no effect of MK-8998 over placebo (odds ratio = 1.28 [95% CI: 0.62, 2.64], p = 0.5). Treatments were generally well tolerated, but more patients reported adverse events for MK-8998 (47.7%) and olanzapine (48.9%) than placebo (37.3%).
Conclusions: MK-8998 was not effective in treating acutely psychotic inpatients with schizophrenia, as measured by PANSS score at week 4. Because of the limited efficacy of the active comparator, we cannot exclude the possibility that T-type calcium channel antagonists could prove to be effective in schizophrenia.[1]
A novel series of amide T-type calcium channel antagonists were prepared and evaluated using in vitro and in vivo assays. Optimization of the screening hit 3 led to identification of the potent and selective T-type antagonist 37 that displayed in vivo efficacy in rodent models of epilepsy and sleep.[2] |

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 (6.57 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.) |

*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.
