Nelivaptan (SSR-149415) is a selective and orally active vasopressin V1b receptor antagonist (Ki: 3.7 and 1.3 nM for native and recombinant rat V1b receptors, respectively). Nelivaptan inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced Ca2+ increase and corticotropin secretion. Nelivaptan can be used for research of stress, anxiety and depression.

Description

Nelivaptan (SSR-149415) is a selective and orally active vasopressin V1b receptor antagonist (Ki: 3.7 and 1.3 nM for native and recombinant rat V1b receptors, respectively). Nelivaptan inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced Ca2+ increase and corticotropin secretion. Nelivaptan can be used for research of stress, anxiety and depression[1][2].

In Vitro

Nelivaptan (0.1-100 nM, 20 min) potently inhibits arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced Ca2 increase in CHO cells transfected with the human V1b receptor[1].
Nelivaptan (0.9-15 nM, 45 min) inhibits [3H]AVP binding in a competitive manner in CHO cells transfected with the human V1b receptor[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Nelivaptan (1-30 mg/kg; 30 min i.p. or 2 h p.o. before an exogenous AVP injection) inhibits exogenous AVP-induced increase in plasma corticotropin in Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
Nelivaptan (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 h before the AVP challenge) produces powerful dose-dependent inhibition of the corticotropin increase in response to exogenous AVP plus corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
Nelivaptan (1-10 mg/kg; i.p. 30 min or 60 min before test; or p.o. for 7 days) displays anxiolytic-like activity after acute and 7-day repeated administrations in male NMRI mice [1].
Nelivaptan (30 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for two weeks) retains efficacy in reducing both measured indices of depression-like behavior (learned helplessness and anhedonia), even when neurogenesis is blocked in male Wistar rats with chronic mild stress[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male Wistar rats (300-400 g, aged 3 months) with chronic mild stress[2]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); daily for two weeks
Result: Chronic administration reversed learned helplessness and anhedonia even when methylazoxymethanol (MAM) was administered.
Attenuated these depressive-like behaviors after 1 week.
Restored the density of Ki-67-positive cells to control levels.
Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley CD rats (275-300 g)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) or Oral gavage (p.o.); 30 min i.p. or 2 h p.o. before an exogenous AVP injection
Result: Antagonized AVP-induced corticotropin secretion in a dose-dependent manner by both intraperitoneal and oral routes.
The inhibition was significant from 10 mg/kg p.o. and 3 mg/kg i.p. upwards.
The inhibitory action lasted significantly for more than 2 h at 10 mg/kg i.p. and up to 4 h at 10 mg/kg p.o..
Had no effect on basal corticotropin plasma levels up to 30 mg/kg p.o..
Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley CD rats (275-300 g)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.); 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 h before the AVP challenge (10 mg/kg)
Result: Produced powerful dose-dependent inhibition of the corticotropin increase in response to exogenous AVP plus corticoliberin; the effect was significant from the dose of 3 mg/kg p.o.. Complete blockade was achieved at 10 mg/kg.
Showed a fast onset of action, the inhibitory effect was maximal at 1 h after administration.
The inhibitory effect on corticotropin secretion lasted significantly more than 4 h, demonstrating a long-lasting oral effect in a specific V1b-related model.
Animal Model: Male NMRI mice (20 g)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 10 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) or Oral gavage (p.o.); i.p. (1, 3, 10 mg/kg) 30 min or 60 min befeore; p.o. (10 mg/kg) for 7 days,
Result: In the acute experiments, i.p. and p.o. compound increased the number of punished crossings showing marked anxiolytic effects.
Post hoc analysis revealed that these effects reached statistical significance from 3 mg/kg p.o. and i.p.
The anxiolytic-like activity was still significantly maintained when given repeatedly at 10 mg/kg p.o. for 7 days.
The oral time course of the anxiolytic-like action performed at 10 mg/kg indicated that effects lasted for more than 4 h.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
