In Vivo | Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate is an NMDA receptor modulator with glycine-site partial agonist properties and currently in a phase II clinical development program as an adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder. Mice given Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate (1.0 mg/kg) prior to acute ketamine (30 mg/kg) show clear preference for novel compare to familiar objects (P<0.01)[1]. Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate produces an antidepressant like effect in the USVs test, as indexed by an increase in hedonic 50-kHz USVs [F(1,20)=12.4, P<0.05] and a decrease in aversive 20-kHz USVs [F(1,20)=6.8, P<0.05]. Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate also produces an anxiolytic effect in the open field, as indexed by increased center time [F(1,20)=19.2, P<0.05] without altering locomotor activity as measured by line crosses [F(1,20)=0.0, P>0.05][2]. |
Animal Admin | Male C57BL/6J mice are used in this study. Mice are group housed (five/cage) in a controlled environment held at 21±2°C with a 14:10 h light-dark period (lights on:±05:00 am). All experiments are conducted during the light phase. Food and water are available ad libitum. For acute drug treatments, Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate (1.0 mg/kg, iv) is administered 30 min prior to the acquisition trial of the novel object recognition (NOR) task to the subchronic ketamine or subchronic phencyclidine (PCP)-treated animals[1]. |
