Description:

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

Asenapine, also known as Org 5222, shows high affinity (pKi) for numerous receptors, including the serotonin 5-HT1A (8.6), 5-HT1B (8.4), 5-HT2A (10.2), 5-HT2B (9.8), 5-HT2C (10.5), 5-HT5A (8.8), 5-HT6 (9.5), and 5-HT7 (9.9) receptors, the adrenergic α1 (8.9), α2A (8.9), α2B (9.5), and α2C (8.9) receptors, the dopamine D1 (8.9), D2 (8.9), D3 (9.4), and D4 (9.0) receptors, and the histamine H1 (9.0) and H2 (8.2) receptors. Asenapine behaves as an antagonist at all receptors. It exhibits potent activity in animal models predictive of antipsychotic efficacy. Note this product we supply is a racemic mixture.

Product Data
Biological target:
Asenapine (Org 5222) an antagonist of serotonin receptors (pKi: 8.4-10.5), adrenoceptors (pKi: 8.9-9.5), dopamine receptors (pKi: 8.9-9.4) and histamine receptors (pKi: 8.2-9.0).
In vitro activity:
To further determine whether AM (Asenapine maleate) act through ROS mediated signaling pathway, CFs were pretreated with or without AM followed by Ang II stimulation. The results demonstrated that AM could reduce the levels of ROS induced by Ang II (Fig. 4A). After pretreatment with 10 μM AM, the Ang II-induced activation of the TGFβ1/MAPK signal pathway was suppressed. Treatment with AM also reduced the expression of TGFβ1 and decreased the phosphorylation levels of ERK, JNK, and p38MAPK. Therefore, this study confirmed that AM can inhibit Ang II-induced cardiac fibrosis through the ROS/TGFβ1/MAPK signaling pathway (Fig. 4B and C).

In vivo activity:
As expected, administration of cumulative doses of the 5‐HT7 agonist LP‐44 (1‐4 mg/kg, i.v.) in control rats induced a dose‐dependent decrease in the firing activity of DR 5‐HT neurons with ED50=1.45 mg/kg (n=7; Figure 3A,B). Two‐way repeated‐measures ANOVA revealed a significant effect of SB 269970 pretreatment (F1,40=6.98, P<.05) on the potency of LP‐44 (F4,40=54.13, P<.001), but no SB 269970 x LP‐44 interaction. Similarly, an injection of Asenapine (1 mg/kg, i.v.) reduced the suppressant effect of LP‐44 on the firing activity of DR 5‐HT neurons, with ED50=3.54 mg/kg (n=7, Figure 3C,D). Two‐way repeated‐measures ANOVA indicated a significant effect of Asenapine (F1,55= 0.17, P<.01) on the potency of LP‐44 (F5,55=61.90, P<.001), and a significant interaction effect (F5,55=5.38, P<.001).
