Rivanicline (RJR-2403) is a neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist, showing high selectivity for the α4β2 subtype (Ki=26 nM); > 1,000 fold selectivity than α7 receptors(Ki= 36000 nM).IC50 value: 26 nM [1]Target: α4β2 nAChRin vitro: At concentrations up to 1 mM, Rivanicline does not significantly activate nAChRs in PC12 cells, muscle type nAChRs or muscarinic receptors. Dose-response curves for agonist-induced ileum contraction indicate that Rivanicline is less than one-tenth as potent as nicotine with greatly reduced efficacy. Rivanicline does not antagonize nicotine-stimulated muscle or ganglionic nAChR function (IC50 > 1 mM). Chronic exposure of M10 cells to Rivanicline (10 microM) results in an up-regulation of high-affinity nAChRs phenomenologically similar to that seen with nicotine [1].in vivo: Rivanicline significantly improved passive avoidance retention after scopolamine-induced amnesia and enhanced both working and reference memory in rats with ibotenic acid lesions of the forebrain cholinergic projection system in an 8-arm radial maze paradigm. By comparison, Rivanicline was 15 to 30-fold less potent than nicotine in decreasing body temperature, respiration, Y-maze rears and crosses and acoustic startle response [2]. Metanicotine was about 5-fold less potent than nicotine in the tail-flick test after s.c administration, but slightly more potent after central administration [3].

Netupitant (CID-6451149) is a highly potent and selective, orally active neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist with Ki of 0.95 nM.IC50 value: 0.95 nM (Ki) [1]Target: NK1 receptorin vitro: Netupitant also dose-dependently inhibited the SP response as expected from an NK1 receptor antagonist. Importantly, when both palonosetron and netupitant were present, they exhibited an enhanced inhibition of the SP response compared to either of the two antagonists alone [2].in vivo: In mice the intrathecal injection of SP elicited the typical scratching, biting and licking response that was dose-dependently inhibited by Netupitant given intraperitoneally in the 1-10mg/kg dose range. In gerbils, foot tapping behavior evoked by the intracerebroventricular injection of a NK(1) agonist was dose-dependently counteracted by Netupitant given intraperitoneally (ID(50) 1.5mg/kg) or orally (ID(50) 0.5mg/kg) [3].

IC50 value: 2.6 nMTarget: NK-1 receptorIn vitro, the binding of NKP608 to bovine retina was characterized by an IC50 of 2.6+/-0.4 nM, whereas the compound's affinity to other receptor binding sites, including NK-2 and NK-3, was much lower. Species differences in IC(50) values with NKP608 were less pronounced than with previously described NK-1 receptor antagonists, being 13+/-2 and 27+/-2 nM in gerbil midbrain and rat striatum, respectively. In vivo, using the hind foot thumping model in gerbils, NKP608 exhibited a potent NK-1 antagonistic activity following oral administration (ID(50)=0.23 mg/kg; 2 h pretreatment), supporting a central activity of NKP608. NKP608 may prove a useful anxiolytic compound.
