 Use of Luzindole


Luzindole (N-0774) is a selective melatonin receptor antagonist. Luzindole preferentially targets MT2 (Mel1b) over MT1 (Mel1a) with Ki values of 10.2 and 158 nM for human MT2 and MT1, respectively. Luzindole suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and exerts antidepressant-like activity[1][2][3].

 Luzindole Biological Activity

Description Luzindole (N-0774) is a selective melatonin receptor antagonist. Luzindole preferentially targets MT2 (Mel1b) over MT1 (Mel1a) with Ki values of 10.2 and 158 nM for human MT2 and MT1, respectively. Luzindole suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and exerts antidepressant-like activity[1][2][3].

In Vitro Luzindole (N-0774) (5-10 μg/ml) inhibits antigen-specific proliferation of the MBP-reactive LV-4 T cell line[1].
In Vivo Luzindole (N-0774) (30 mg/kg; i.p.; days 0-5) suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis[2]. Luzindole (N-0774) (30 mg/kg i.p.) reduces the time of immobility in a dose-dependent manner, the effect being more pronounced at midnight (60% reduction) than at noon (39% reduction). The effect of luzindole is time-dependent, showing a maximal effect at 60 min. The anti-immobility effect of luzindole (10 mg/kg i.p.) is prevented by the administration of melatonin (30 mg/kg i.p.). Luzindole (30 mg/kg i.p.) did not modify the time of immobility either at noon or midnight in the albino ND/4 mouse, or in the C57BL/6J mouse, which does not produce melatonin[3]. Animal Model: Twenty-three- to 12-week-old(SJL X PL/J ) F1 mice[2] Dosage: 30 mg/kg Administration: i.p.; days 0-5 (between 23: 00 and 1: 00 under conditions of minimal lighting) Result: Effectively prevented experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
