TASP0390325 blocks the anterior pituitary V1B receptor in vivo. Oral administration of TASP0390325 antagonized the increase in plasma ACTH levels induced by CRF/dDAVP in rats, indicating that TASP0390325 blocks the anterior pituitary V1B receptor in vivo. TASP0390325 (1 mg/kg) significantly antagonizes CRF/dDAVP-induced plasma ACTH in rats[1].
Oral administration of TASP0390325 also exerts antidepressant effects in two models of depression (a forced swimming test and an olfactory bulbectomy model)[1].
| Animal Model: | Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (211-246 g)[1] |
| Dosage: | 0.3 and 1 mg/kg (TASP0390325 is suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose 400) |
| Administration: | Oral administration |
| Result: | Antagonized the increase in plasma ACTH levels induced by CRF/dDAVP in rats at a dose of 1 mg/kg. In contrast, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg itself did not significantly affect basal ACTH levels.
