In Vitro | JMV 2959 is a growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) antagonist with an IC50 of 32 nM. JMV 2959 does not induce any intracellular calcium mobilization by itself[1]. |
In Vivo | When administered alone, it does not increase food intake and does not significantly stimulate growth hormone (GH) release[1]. JMV 2959 dose dependently decreases the startle response (F(3.42)=4.4, p<0.01) and increases %prepulse inhibition (PPI) (F(3.42)=3.9, p<0.05) in the prepulse inhibition paradigm. The alteration in the startle response is mainly due to a 27% decrease in the startle seen in the highest dose of JMV 2959 (6 mg/kg) compare to vehicle (p<0.05)[2]. 6 mg/kg JMV 2959 induces a significant suppression of locomotion on days 1 to 7 relative to baseline day 0 (F(7,49)=2.21, p<0.05). Results also reveal a significant interaction between JMV 2959 treatment and day (F(1,14)=4.397, p<0.05)[3]. |
Animal Admin | Two-hundred-gram male Sprague-Dawley rats are used in the study. The animals (n=15) are randomly assigned to an initial treatment dose or vehicle and subsequently receive all the different doses tested in a counter balanced design. Each test is separated by a 3- to 4-day-long washout period. The rats are given the injection of JMV 2959 (or vehicle) 17 min prior to being placed in the startle cages (i.e., 25 min prior to the first pulse). The doses of JMV 2959 used for the dose response are 1, 3, and 6 mg/kg[2]. |
