SR 142948 is an orally bioavailable non-peptide antagonist of neurotensin receptors (NTS; IC50s = 1.19, 0.32, and 3.96 nM for human recombinant NTS receptors expressed in CHO cells, HT-29 cells, and adult rat brain membranes, respectively).1 It inhibits inositol phosphate formation in HT-29 cells (IC50 = 3.9 nM) and intracellular calcium accumulation in CHO cells expressing human NTS receptors. SR 142948 (1 mg/kg, i.v.) inhibits the firing rate of rat ventral pallidum neurons with a longer duration of action than the NTS receptor antagonist SR 48692 (Item No. 20124).2 It also inhibits neurotensin-induced behavioral responses, including inhibition of neurotensin-induced turning behavior in mice when administered at doses ranging from 40 to 640 mg/kg and hypothermia and analgesia in rats and mice.1
