Product Description

Norclozapine (ACP-104; NDMC; ACP104; N-Desmethylclozapine) is a major active metabolite of the atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine. It functions as a mild partial agonist at the D2 and D3 receptors, just like aripiprazole and bifeprunox, in contrast to clozapine, which lacks this intrinsic activity. It is a dopamine/muscarinic/5-HT2A inverse agonist that may be used to treat schizophrenia. N-desmethylclozapine functions as both an agonist and an inhibitor of the dengue virus receptor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
δ Opioid Receptor/DOR; mAChR1
ln Vitro
N-desmethylclozapine, a brain penetrant metabolite, was found to bind to M1 muscarinic receptors preferentially, with an IC50 of 55 nM. Compared to clozapine, it was a more potent partial agonist at this receptor, with an EC50 of 115 nM and 50% of acetylcholine response[1].
N-desmethylclozapine has agonistic characteristics at the 5-HT1A receptor in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, as well as mild agonistic effects on the M1 mAChR. Additionally, this substance exhibits agonistic behavior at the δ-opioid receptor located in the striatum and cerebral cortex[2].
N-desmethylclozapine (3 μM) significantly reduces excitatory neurons' outward current, but not that of inhibitory neurons. When it comes to excitatory neurons, N-desmethylclozapine works better on its own than it does when combined with clozapine or taken alone. One microgram of atropine and 0.1 microgram of pirenzepine both considerably reduce the effects of N-desmethylclozapine on excitatory neurons. In excitatory cells, K125 channels were inhibited by N-desmethylclozapine but not by clozapine via M1 receptors[3].
N-desmethylclozapine causes TxB2 levels to drop both in response to TSST-1 stimulation and in unstimulated conditions. The production of TxA2 or TxB2 may be modulated by clozapine, N-desmethylclozapine, and CPZ, potentially affecting neurotransmitter systems[5].
N-desmethylclozapine, fluoxetine hydrochloride, and salmeterol xinafoate have IC50 values of 1 μM, 0.38 μM, and 0.67 μM in Huh-7 cells infected with DENV-2, respectively. When cells treated with all three inhibitors are compared to those treated with DMSO, the levels of NS3 are lower, indicating that the inhibitors function at a stage before the translation of viral proteins. Negative-strand RNA levels are reduced by >75% in cells treated with N-desmethylclozapine[6].
ln Vivo
N-desmethylclozapine underlies presynaptic modulation of glutamate release and GABA in humans and rats at M2 and M4 mAChRs, respectively. N-desmethylclozapine, for example, may be an M2 mAChR antagonist in rats, but it is not active at this receptor in the human neocortex. On the other hand, N-desmethylclozapine does not have an agonistic effect at M4 mAChR in the rat neocortex[4].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.99 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 (7.99 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.

*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.

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
