In vitro activity: PF-2545920 intraperitoneally administrated at dose of 0.3, 3, and 5 mg/kg in male CF-1 mice causes striking increases in GluR1 phosphorylation levels of 3-, 5.4-, and 4.1-fold , respectively. MP-10 at concentration of 1 μM treats Rat striatal slices for 30 min, the level of GluR1S845 phosphorylation at the cell surface is significantly increased 2-fold, without change the level of total GluR1 on the cell surface. MP-10 intraperitoneally administrated at dose of 0.3, 3, and 5 mg/kg in male CF-1 mice results in robust, statistically significant increases in CREBS133 phosphorylation of 3-, 4-, and 2.6-fold, respectively. MP-10 intraperitoneally administrated at dose of 3 mg/kg increases both enkephalin and substance-P mRNA levels in striatum of CF-1 mice. MP-10 intraperitoneally administrated at dose of 0.3-1 mg/kg decreases avoidance responding with a significant treatment effect in the mouse CAR model. Mice treated with MP-10 at dose of 0.03 mg/kg spents more time in the empty than social side in the mice, MP-10 also dose-dependently decreased locomotor activity.

Kinase Assay: PF-2545920 (Also known as Mardepodect, MP-10) is a potent and selective PDE10A (phosphodiesterase) inhibitor with IC50 of 0.37 nM, and with>1000-fold selectivity over the PDE.
