Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

SB-334867 is an orexin antagonist. It was the first non-peptide antagonist developed that is selective for the orexin receptor subtype OX1, with around 50x selectivity for OX1 over OX2 receptors. It has been shown to produce sedative and anorectic effects in animals, and has been useful in characterising the orexinergic regulation of brain systems involved with appetite and sleep, as well as other physiological processes. Orexin antagonists have multiple potential clinical applications including the treatment of drug addiction, insomnia, obesity and diabetes.

More Info
Biological target:
SB-334867 free base is an OX1 receptor antagonist that shows selectivity over OX2 (pKb=7.4), 100-fold over 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C with pKi values of 5.4 and 5.3, respectively. SB-334867 reduces ethanol consumption and inhibits the acquisition of morphine-induced sensitization to locomotor activity in vivo.
In vitro activity:
SB-334867 acts as a non-peptide antagonist specific to the OX1 receptor. SB-334867 inhibited orexin-A and orexin-B-induced calcium responses, but had no effect on the UTP-induced calcium response in CHO-OX1 cells. SB-334867 also inhibited OX2 mediated calcium responses. SB-334867 was devoid of agonist properties in either cell-line. Reference: Br J Pharmacol. 2001 Mar;132(6):1179-82. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11250867/
In vivo activity:
SB-334867 inhibited the acquisition of morphine-induced sensitization to locomotor activity in mice. SB-334867 treatment caused significant alterations in the mRNA expression of orexin, dopamine, and adenosine receptors in multiple brain structures. Additionally, there were changes in the expression of markers associated with glial cells (GFAP and Iba-1).
