Product Data
Biological target:
LY2940094 (BTRX-246040) is a potent, selective and orally available nociceptin receptor (NOP receptor) antagonist with high affinity (Ki=0.105 nM) and antagonist potency (Kb=0.166 nM).
In vitro activity:
BTRX-246040 was systematically compared with the standard NOP antagonist SB-612111. In all assays, BTRX-246040 behaves as a pure and selective antagonist at human recombinant and murine native NOP receptors displaying 3-10-fold higher potency than the standard antagonist SB-612111. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2020 Apr;373(1):34-43. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31937563/
In vivo activity:
LY2940094 dose dependently reduced homecage ethanol self-administration in Indiana alcohol-preferring (P) and Marchigian Sardinian alcohol-preferring (msP) rats, without affecting food/water intake or locomotor activity. LY2940094 attenuated progressive ratio operant responding and break points for ethanol in P rats. Moreover, stress-induced reinstatement of ethanol seeking in msP rats was completely blocked by LY2940094. Furthermore, LY2940094 blocked ethanol-stimulated dopamine release in response to ethanol challenge (1.1 g/kg, intraperitoneally).
