Product Data
Biological target:
PF-04859989 hydrochloride is a brain-penetrant, irreversible kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) II inhibitor with IC50s of 23 and 263 nM for hKAT II and rKAT II.
In vitro activity:
PF-04859989 significantly facilitated the fEPSP slope in the hippocampal slices from the KMO−/− mice (Figure 5; n = 5; P < .05, unpaired t-test). PF-04859989 also facilitated LTP generated in hippocampal slices from the KMO−/− mice, but already after 5 minutes (Figure 6B, P < .05, unpaired t-test; n = 5) of drug administration, and the effect sustained more than 30 minutes. Reference: Int J Tryptophan Res. 2021 Aug 30;14:11786469211041368. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34483669/
In vivo activity:
The present in vivo electrophysiological study in rats aimed to investigate the effect of an inhibitor of kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) II, the primary enzyme for KYNA synthesis, on dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Acute administration of the KAT II inhibitor PF-04859989 (5 or 10 mg/kg) was associated with a short-onset, time-dependent decrease in firing rate and burst activity of DA neurons, both parameters reaching a 50% reduction within 45 min. Furthermore, PF-04859989 reduced the number of spontaneously active DA cells as measured 4-6 after administration. Pretreatment with d-cycloserine (30 mg/kg) or CGP-52432 (10 mg/kg) prevented the inhibitory action of PF-04859989 (5 mg/kg) on firing rate and burst firing activity.
