Additional information:
A 841720 is a novel non-competitive antagonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1), with an IC50 value of 10.7 nM to 10 µM L-glutamate-induced calcium release at human mGluR1 receptors . Glutamate as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system functions through two types of receptors, ionotropic glutamate receptors and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).{{Sirukumab} medchemexpress|{Sirukumab} Interleukin Related|{Sirukumab} Biological Activity|{Sirukumab} Formula|{Sirukumab} supplier|{Sirukumab} Autophagy} MGluRs includes group I mGluRs (mGluR1 and mGluR5 receptors), group II (mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors) and group III (mGluR4, 6, 7, 8 receptors) .PMID:29844565 In cells, agonist-induced calcium release was concentration-dependently inhibited by A 841720 in a human mGluR5 receptor FLIPR functional assay. But the IC50 value was just 343 nM. In cells expressing recombinant mGluR5 receptors, A 841720 did not block agonist-induced response. In the human mGluR1 receptor FLIPR assay, the log concentration-response curve was shifted by A 841720 at 10 nM to the right. A 841720 at increasing concentrations profoundly reduced the amplitude of L-quisqualate-evoked calcium release. A 841720 at 30 nM reduced the maximal agonist-induced response by 38%. L-quisqualate-induced response was completely abolished by A 841720 at 100 nM . In a water maze test, all rats gradually learned to locate the submerged platform. Treatment with A 841720 significantly slowered rats to find the platform than vehicle control rats. Rats treated with A 841720 at both 30 and 100 µmol/kg doses not only significantly traveled longer distance to find the hidden platform, but also significantly spent longer time to reach the platform .|Product information|CAS Number: 869802-58-4|Molecular Weight: 343.45|Formula: C17H21N5OS|Chemical Name: 5-(azepan-1-yl)-13-(dimethylamino)-8-thia-3,5,10-triazatricyclo[7.4.0.0²,⁷]trideca-1(13),2(7),3,9,11-pentaen-6-one|Smiles: CN(C)C1C=CN=C2SC3C(=O)N(C=NC=3C2=1)N1CCCCCC1|InChiKey: GYWGXEGOXODOQU-UHFFFAOYSA-N|InChi: InChI=1S/C17H21N5OS/c1-20(2)12-7-8-18-16-13(12)14-15(24-16)17(23)22(11-19-14)21-9-5-3-4-6-10-21/h7-8,11H,3-6,9-10H2,1-2H3|Technical Data|Appearance: Solid Power|Purity: ≥98% (or refer to the Certificate of Analysis)|Shipping Condition: Shipped under ambient temperature as non-hazardous chemical or refer to Certificate of Analysis|Storage Condition: Dry, dark and -20 oC for 1 year or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.|Shelf Life: ≥12 months if stored properly.|Stock Solution Storage: 0 – 4 oC for 1 month or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.|Drug Formulation: To be determined|HS Tariff Code: 382200|Products are for research use only.
