    Product Description

    Casopitant is a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist (Ki = 0.33 nM).1 It is selective for the NK1 receptor over a panel of 70 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and transporters at 10 µM. Casopitant inhibits substance P-induced increases in intracellular calcium in CHO cells expressing the human NK1 receptor (pA2 = 9.7). Oral administration of casopitant (1 mg/kg) increases social interaction time in the social exploration test in gerbils, indicating anxiolytic-like activity. It inhibits GR73632-induced foot tapping in gerbils with half-maximal inhibitory dose (ID50) values of 0.08, 0.04, 0.19, and 1.1 mg/kg when administered 1, 4, 8, or 24 hours prior to GR73632, respectively.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
