Description

Aprepitant (MK-0869) is a selective and high-affinity neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist with a Kd of 86 pM.

Biological activity

In Vitro Aprepitant decreases the metabolic activity with an estimated IC50 value of 20 μM. Aprepitant induces cell-growth inhibition and G1 cell-cycle arrest. Aprepitant significantly induces apoptosis in Nalm-6 cells, and the apoptosis is mediated through caspase-3 activation. Aprepitant (20 μM) induces p53 accumulation and expression of pro-apoptotic p53 target genes[2]. Aprepitant (1, 5, 10 μM) inhibits HIV infection in MDM from both depressed and not depressed HIV negative individuals ex vivo in a dose-dependent manner. IC90 value of aprepitant is equivalent to 10 μM, and the IC50 value is about 5 μM. In Vivo Aprepitant prevents the increase of NK-1R expression induced by in vivo NHP infection with B. burgdorferi. Aprepitant treatment prevents B. burgdorferi-induced increases in CCL2 protein levels in the CSF of NHPs. Aprepitant treatment prevents B. burgdorferi-induced increases in CCL2 and CXCL13 mRNA expression in the dorsal root ganglia of NHPs, prevents B. burgdorferi-induced increases in CCL2, CXCL13, IL-17A, and IL-6 mRNA expression in the spinal cord of NHPs. Aprepitant treatment attenuates B. burgdorferi infection-induced reductions in astrocyte activity/numbers[1]. Aprepitant (10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly attenuates the CPP expression and locomotor activation produced by AMPH and cocaine in mice. Aprepitant does not induce significant CPP or conditioned place aversion or locomotor activation or suppression[3]. Aprepitant (125 mg/day, p.o.) results in 1 log reduction in plasma levels of viral RNA as compared to non-treated controls.
