brain exposure

XAP044 is a mGlu7-selective antagonist which inhibits lateral amygdala long term potentiation (LTP) in brain slices from wild type mice with a half-maximal blockade at 88 nm[1].

C19 Ceramide is a naturally occurring ceramide that has been found in J. juncea extracts as well as rat brain and mouse heart.[1],[2],[3] It is elevated in adult and decreased in juvenile whole rat brain extracts by 114 and 37%, respectively, following chronic ethanol exposure.[2] C19 Ceramide is also increased in mouse hearts following administration of angiotensin II.[3]

AM-3189 is a potent and selective GPR40 Agonist with minimal CNS penetration, superior pharmacokinetic properties and in vivo efficacy comparable to AMG 837. AM-3189 maintains the in vivo efficacy of AMG 837 while displaying a superior pharmacokinetic profile and minimal CNS exposure. Similar to AMG 837, while highly potent on GPR40, AM-3189 was highly selective over the closely related GPCRs, GPR41 and GPR43. 13kdemonstrated low clearance, moderate volume of distribution, and good oral bioavailability. AM-3189 does not penetrate the rat CNS as indicated by a rat brain to plasma ratio of 0.04 at 3 h after an oral dose of 5 mg/kg.

FGFR-IN-7 (compound 17) is an orally active, potent FGFR modulator with the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. It exhibits neuroprotective properties, enhancing brain exposure and decreasing the likelihood of phospholidosis. FGFR-IN-7 proves valuable for research on neurodegenerative diseases [1].

Aβ42-IN-1 free base (compound 1v), an orally active γ-secretase modulator with high brain exposure, effectively lowers Aβ42 levels, exhibiting an IC 50 of 0.091 μM, and significantly diminishes brain Aβ42 levels in mice. Given these properties, Aβ42-IN-1 free base represents a potential disease-modifying agent for Alzheimer’s disease [1].

JPC0323 is a dual positive allosteric modulator of the 5-HT2C and 5-HT2A receptors, featuring on-target properties, acceptable plasma exposure, and adequate brain penetration. It is utilized in research pertaining to neurological diseases [1].

WLB-89462 (Compound 20c) is a selective σ2 receptor ligand with a K i of 13 nM, exhibiting neuroprotective properties and the ability to ameliorate Aβ peptide-induced short-term memory impairment in rats. It possesses a favorable ADMET profile characterized by good solubility, absence of CYP inhibition, robust metabolic stability, high permeability, effective brain penetration, and substantial oral exposure in rodent models [1].

5-{8-[(3,4'-Difluoro[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)methoxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl}-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide (1o) exhibited high in vitro potency and brain exposure, was able to cause a significant reduction in brain Aβ42 levels, and had no inhibitory effect on cytochrome p450 enzymes. In addition, compound 1o exhibited excellent anti-cognitive deficits in AD model mice.

Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine is the major metabolite for Cyclophosphamide , with anticancer activitiy. Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine induces DNA adduct formation in ovarian granulosa cells, induces DNA damage and elicits the ovarian DNA repair response[1][2]. Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine causes cytotoxicity through forming cross-linked DNA adducts which inhibit DNA strand separation during replication[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine destroys rapidly dividing cells by forming NOR-G-OH, NOR-G and G-NOR-G adducts with DNA, potentially leading to DNA damage[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 48 hours) reduces cell viability in rat spontaneously immortalized granulosa cells (SIGCs)[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) induces DNA adduct formation[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) induces ovarian DNA damage in rat ovaries[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine increases DNA damage responses (DDR) gene (Atm, Parp1, Prkdc, Xrcc6, Brca1, Rad51) mRNA expression level[1].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (3-6 μM; 24-48 hours) increased DDR proteins[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: SIGCs Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (2.1-20.7 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 5 days) inhibits subcutaneous tumor growth in rats[2].Phosphoramide mustard cyclohexanamine (86.0 mg/kg; i.v.) has a plasma disappearance half-life of 15.1 minutes[2]. Animal Model: Rat, subcutaneously implanted Walker 256 carcinosarcoma tumor[2] [1]. Shanthi Ganesan, et al.
