Description:

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

Basmisanil, also known as RG1662, RO5186582, is a highly selective inverse agonist/negative allosteric modulator of α5 subunit-containing GABAA receptors which is under development by Roche for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with Down syndrome. As of August 2015, it is in phase II clinical trials for this indication. Down syndrome (DS) is the most commonly identifiable genetic form of intellectual disability. Individuals with DS have considerable deficits in intellectual functioning (i.e., low intellectual quotient, delayed learning and/or impaired language development) and adaptive behavior.

Product Data
Biological target:
Basmisanil is a GABAAα5 negative allosteric modulator.
In vitro activity:
To assess the intrinsic efficacy of basmisanil, two electrode voltage-clamp experiments were performed in Xenopus oocytes. GABA was applied repetitively at a concentration evoking approximately 10% of the maximal response (8 µM for α1β2γ2, 6 µM for α2β3γ2, 10 µM for α3β3γ2 and 5 µM for α5β3γ2). The maximum possible negative allosteric modulation of the GABA responses was determined by using the non-selective NAM, methyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (β-CCM). Basmisanil showed a highly selective inhibition of GABAA-α5 (Fig. 2b). At the highest concentration tested (1 µM), basmisanil reduced the GABA-evoked current by up to 42 ± 1%.

In vivo activity:
Basmisanil attenuated diazepam-induced spatial learning impairment in rats. In the water maze, rats were challenged to find a hidden platform position when placed in a large pool filled with opaque water. The platform was removed before the seventh trial. The vehicle group demonstrated spatial learning of the platform position, as indicated by the significant (F(3,27) = 9, p < 0.001) increase in percent time spent in the platform quadrant compared to left (p < 0.001), right (p < 0.001) and opposite (p < 0.001), quadrants (Fig. 4a). Diazepam significantly disrupted learning of the new platform position since subjects spent an equivalent amount of time in each quadrant during the probe trial (F(3,27) = 0.1, p = 0.9). Basmisanil at 10 mg/kg p.o. significantly (F(3,27) = 4, p = 0.01) attenuated the diazepam-induced deficit as revealed by an increase in percent time spent in the previous platform quadrant compared to left (p < 0.05), right (p < 0.05) and opposite (p < 0.05) quadrants (Fig. 4a).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
