In Vivo | In oral brain/plasma studies, JNJ-46778212 displays excellent CNS penetration[1]. JNJ-46778212 enhances NMDAR function and rescues long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices obtained from SR−/− mice. The administration of JNJ-46778212 to SR−/− mice reverses their deficits in several neuroplasticity signaling pathways and improves their contextual fear memory[2]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[1] SR−/− mice receive once daily, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of vehicle (20% hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextran) or VU0409551 for 5 days at a volume of 10 mL/kg. For the in vivo pharmacokinetic and dose-finding experiments, WT mice (n=5–6/dose) receive vehicle or VU0409551 (10 and 30 mg/kg). For the SR−/− mice reversal studies, WT mice receive vehicle and SR−/− mice receive either vehicle or VU0409551 (30 mg/kg). All mice are killed 2 h after the last injection on day 5[1]. |
