Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	Bovine dopamine-beta-hydroxylase 8.5 nM Human dopamine-beta-hydroxylase 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.
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. 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%). 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. 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.

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.
