Prazosin is a well-tolerated, CNS-active α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist for the research of high blood pressure and alcohol use disorders. Prazosin potently inhibits Norepinephrine (NE)-stimulated 45Ca efflux with an IC50 of 0.15 nM. Prazosin inhibits organic cation transporters OCT-1 and OCT-3 with IC50s of 1.8, and 13 μM, respectively.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

| CRN04894
CRN04894 is an orally nonpeptide, potent and selective antagonist for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) acting at the melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R). CRN04894 blocks the action of ACTH at MC2R, providing a potential novel treatment for the diseases of ACTH excess such as Cushing’s disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and ectopic ACTH-secreting tumors. |
