General description

Clozapine N-oxide hydrochloride is a water soluble form of Clozapine N-oxide (CNO) (Sigma cat# C0832). CNO is a pharmacologically inert metabolite of the atypical anti-psychotic drug clozapine. CNO is a ligand for the engineered Gq protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the chemogenetic Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drug (DREADD). The typical use of DREADD is testing, enhancing neuronal firing and activating Gq signaling in neuronal and non-neuronal cells.

The selective targeting of DREADD systems to cell population can be achieved by using a cell type-specific promoter to drive DREADD expression, and the expression of this promoter can be further controlled using a recombinase-based system. DREADDs possess a low affinity for endogenous ligands and little constitutive activity, but may be activated by synthetic compounds such as CNO.

DREADD systems are activated by low nM concentrations of CNO and mobilize intracellular calcium. CNO appears to be pharmacologically and behaviorally inert in mice and rats when administered at the recommended doses (generally 0.1–3 mg/kg). CNO is commonly administrated via injection but also can be mixed into food chow or drinking water.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. Is this light-sensitive? Could you provide information about its stability after dissolution at room temperature?

    1 answer
    1. This compound is not listed as being light sensitive. However, the material is air sensitive and packaged under argon. The product is soluble in water and DMSO at 40 mg/mL. The stability of this compound in solution has not been investigated. External sources indicate that aqueous solution may degrade rapidly. Stock solutions in DMSO may be stable for up to 6 months at -20°C and up to 1 years at -80°C when stored in working aliquots. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
