Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	Bovine dopamine-beta-hydroxylase ^[1] 8.5 nM Human dopamine-beta-hydroxylase ^[1] 9 nM
In vitro	In vitro, Nepicastat hydrochloride shows the selective and concentration-dependent inhibition effects on bovine and human dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity with IC50 of 8.5 nM and 9.0 nM, respectively. While Nepicastat hydrochloride has negligible affinity for twelve other enzymes and thirteen neurotransmitter receptors. ^[1]
In vivo	In the artery, left ventricle and cerebral cortex of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), Nepicastat hydrochloride reduces noradrenaline content, and increases dopamine content and dopamine/noradrenaline ratio in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, Nepicastat hydrochloride also produces the similar effects on noradrenaline, dopamine and dopamine/noradrenaline ratio in tissues and plasma of beagle dogs. ^[1] In inactin-anesthetized SHRs, Nepicastat hydrochloride (3 mg/kg, i.v.) produces the antihypertensive effects and causes a significant decrease in renal vascular resistance (38%) and an increase in renal blood flow (22%). ^[2] In dogs with chronic heart failure, low-dose Nepicastat hydrochloride (0.5 mg/kg) prevents left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and remodeling, and combination therapy of Nepicastat hydrochloride and enalapril results in additional improvements in all morphological features. ^[3] In rat brain, Nepicastat hydrochloride at a dose of 50 mg/kg ( i.p.) leads to the reduction of norepinephrine (NE) and blocks cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking. ^[4]

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
Could you please suggest a vehicle for in vivo injection of it?

Answer:
It can be dissolved in 5% Tween 80+35% PEG 300+ddH2O at 10mg/ml clearly. When preparing the solution, we added solvents individually and in order, and the compound finally dissolved completely. Please prepare the solution each time before use.
