- Product Overview:
NCS-382 is a ?-hydroxybutyrate receptor (GHBR) antagonist (IC50s = 134.1 and 201.3 nM in isolated rat striatal and hippocampal membranes, respectively, in radioligand binding assays).{46598} It is selective for GHBR over GABA binding sites in rat brain synaptic membranes at concentrations of 1 and 10 µM. NCS-382 decreases GHB-induced increases in inositol phosphate accumulation and cGMP levels in isolated rat hippocampal slices (IC50s = 8.6 and 30 µM, respectively). It reduces GHB-induced increases in the time mice spent immobile in the forced swim test, indicating anti-sedative activity, when administered at doses of 1.66 and 2.08 mmol/kg.{46599} NCS-382 decreases spike and wave discharges in audiogenic seizure-susceptible Swiss Rb mice, as well as a rat model of petit mal epilepsy, when administered at a dose of 2.3 mmol/kg.{46598}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
