General description
A cell-permeable, bioavailable, tetrahydroisoquinolin amide that acts as a selective, potent, and high-affinity agonist of REV-ERB (IC50 = 170 nM for REV-ERBα and IC50 = 160 nM for REV-ERBβ in a REV-ERB ligand-binding domain co-transfection assay). Able to cross the blood brain barrier and remain above the IC50 value even after 6 h (30 mg/kg, i.p.). Displays minimal activities against a wide of other receptors, ion channels, and transporters when screened at 20 µM. Shown to induce wakefulness and suppress circadian wheel-running activity (ED50 = 20 mg/kg injected at Zeitgeiber time 6 (ZT6)) in mice. Reduces slow-wave sleep (SWS) and REM sleep when injected at ZT6 with decreased duration and reduces the number of episodes and duration of REM sleep. Also shown to reduce anxiety-like behavior in the marble-burying assay.
