Description:

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

Bitopertin, also known as Paliflutine and RG-1678, is a glycine reuptake inhibitor which was under development as an adjunct to antipsychotics for the treatment of persistent negative symptoms or suboptimally-controlled positive symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Bitopertin-mediated glycine reuptake inhibition may represent a novel treatment option for schizophrenia, with the potential to address negative symptoms.

Product Data
Biological target:
Bitopertin (RG1678,RO-4917838) is an inhibitor of glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1), with Ki of 8.1 nM for human hGlyT1b and IC50 of 22-25 nM in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
A significant increase in Hb was also observed in Hbbth3/+ mice treated with bitopertin at lower dosages of either 3 or 10 mg/kg/d (Supplemental Figure 1A). In Hbbth3/+ mice treated with 30 mg/kg/d bitopertin, the increased Hb values were associated with an increase in RBC counts (Supplemental Figure 1B) and a slight but significant decrease in MCV (Supplemental Figure 1B) with a slightly increased MCH (Figure 1B, days 7 and 14 only). Significant decreases in absolute reticulocyte counts and in circulating erythroblasts were also found in Hbbth3/+ mice treated with bitopertin at dosages of either 30 or 10 mg/kg/d for 28 days (Figure 1B and Supplemental Figure 1C).

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.
