| In Vitro |
AMG9678 potently inhibits the menthol and cold-induced increase in intracellular calcium in cells expressing rat TRPM8, the plasma half-life (T1/2) in rats is 7.6 h[1].

| In Vivo |
AMG9678 (0-100 mg/kg; p.o.; once) produces a significant and somewhat dose-dependent decrease in body temperature (Tb) in rats[1]. AMG9678 (30 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 4 consecutive days) decreases reduced body temperature after repeated dosing in rats[1]. Animal Model: Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200–350 g (6–12 weeks of age) [1] Dosage: 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration, once or once daily for 4 consecutive days Result: Produced a significant and somewhat dose-dependent decrease in Tb at 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg. The magnitude of TRPM8 blockade-induced decrease in body temperature is reduced after repeated dosing. Effect of AMG9678 on Tb in rats. P value is for comparing compound administered rat Tb with vehicle administered rat Tb. End of the study plasma concentration is reported in μM.
