Deschloroclozapine, a potent and selective chemogenetic actuator enables rapid neuronal and behavioral modulations in mice and monkeys
Nat Neurosci 2020 Sep;23(9):1157-1167.PMID:32632286DOI:10.1038/s41593-020-0661-3.
The chemogenetic technology designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) afford remotely reversible control of cellular signaling, neuronal activity and behavior. Although the combination of muscarinic-based DREADDs with clozapine-N-oxide (CNO) has been widely used, sluggish kinetics, metabolic liabilities and potential off-target effects of CNO represent areas for improvement. Here, we provide a new high-affinity and selective agonist Deschloroclozapine (DCZ) for muscarinic-based DREADDs. Positron emission tomography revealed that DCZ selectively bound to and occupied DREADDs in both mice and monkeys. Systemic delivery of low doses of DCZ (1 or 3 μg per kg) enhanced neuronal activity via hM3Dq within minutes in mice and monkeys. Intramuscular injections of DCZ (100 μg per kg) reversibly induced spatial working memory deficits in monkeys expressing hM4Di in the prefrontal cortex. DCZ represents a potent, selective, metabolically stable and fast-acting DREADD agonist with utility in both mice and nonhuman primates for a variety of applications.
[11C]Deschloroclozapine is an improved PET radioligand for quantifying a human muscarinic DREADD expressed in monkey brain
J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2021 Oct;41(10):2571-2582.PMID:33853405DOI:10.1177/0271678X211007949.
Previous work found that [11C]Deschloroclozapine ([11C]DCZ) is superior to [11C]clozapine ([11C]CLZ) for imaging Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs). This study used PET to quantitatively and separately measure the signal from transfected receptors, endogenous receptors/targets, and non-displaceable binding in other brain regions to better understand this superiority. A genetically-modified muscarinic type-4 human receptor (hM4Di) was injected into the right amygdala of a male rhesus macaque. [11C]DCZ and [11C]CLZ PET scans were conducted 2-24 months later. Uptake was quantified relative to the concentration of parent radioligand in arterial plasma at baseline (n = 3 scans/radioligand) and after receptor blockade (n = 3 scans/radioligand). Both radioligands had greater uptake in the transfected region and displaceable uptake in other brain regions. Displaceable uptake was not uniformly distributed, perhaps representing off-target binding to endogenous receptor(s). After correction, [11C]DCZ signal was 19% of that for [11C]CLZ, and background uptake was 10% of that for [11C]CLZ. Despite stronger [11C]CLZ binding, the signal-to-background ratio for [11C]DCZ was almost two-fold greater than for [11C]CLZ. Both radioligands had comparable DREADD selectivity. All reference tissue models underestimated signal-to-background ratio in the transfected region by 40%-50% for both radioligands. Thus, the greater signal-to-background ratio of [11C]DCZ was due to its lower background uptake.
Behavioral and slice electrophysiological assessment of DREADD ligand, Deschloroclozapine (DCZ) in rats
Sci Rep 2022 Apr 21;12(1):6595.PMID:35449195DOI:10.1038/s41598-022-10668-0.
Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs) have become a premier neuroscience research tool for enabling reversible manipulations of cellular activity following experimenter-controlled delivery of a DREADD-specific ligand. However, several DREADD ligands, e.g., clozapine-N-oxide (CNO), have metabolic and off-target effects that may confound experimental findings. New DREADD ligands aim to reduce metabolic and potential off-target effects while maintaining strong efficacy for the designer receptors. Recently a novel DREADD ligand, Deschloroclozapine (DCZ), was shown to induce chemogenetic-mediated cellular and behavioral effects in mice and monkeys without detectable side effects. The goal of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of systemic DCZ for DREADD-based chemogenetic manipulations in behavioral and slice electrophysiological applications in rats. We demonstrate that a relatively low dose of DCZ (0.1 mg/kg) supports excitatory DREADD-mediated cFos induction, DREADD-mediated inhibition of a central amygdala-dependent behavior, and DREADD-mediated inhibition of neuronal activity in a slice electrophysiology preparation. In addition, we show that this dose of DCZ does not alter gross locomotor activity or induce a place preference/aversion in control rats without DREADD expression. Together, our findings support the use of systemic DCZ for DREADD-based manipulaations in rats, and provide evidence that DCZ is a superior alternative to CNO.
Resting-State fMRI-Based Screening of Deschloroclozapine in Rhesus Macaques Predicts Dosage-Dependent Behavioral Effects
J Neurosci 2022 Jul 20;42(29):5705-5716.PMID:35701162DOI:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0325-22.2022.
Chemogenetic techniques, such as designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), enable transient, reversible, and minimally invasive manipulation of neural activity in vivo Their development in nonhuman primates is essential for uncovering neural circuits contributing to cognitive functions and their translation to humans. One key issue that has delayed the development of chemogenetic techniques in primates is the lack of an accessible drug-screening method. Here, we use resting-state fMRI, a noninvasive neuroimaging tool, to assess the impact of Deschloroclozapine (DCZ) on brainwide resting-state functional connectivity in 7 rhesus macaques (6 males and 1 female) without DREADDs. We found that systemic administration of 0.1 mg/kg DCZ did not alter the resting-state functional connectivity. Conversely, 0.3 mg/kg of DCZ was associated with a prominent increase in functional connectivity that was mainly confined to the connections of frontal regions. Additional behavioral tests confirmed a negligible impact of 0.1 mg/kg DCZ on socio-emotional behaviors as well as on reaction time in a probabilistic learning task; 0.3 mg/kg DCZ did, however, slow responses in the probabilistic learning task, suggesting attentional or motivational deficits associated with hyperconnectivity in fronto-temporo-parietal networks. Our study highlights both the excellent selectivity of DCZ as a DREADD actuator, and the side effects of its excess dosage. The results demonstrate the translational value of resting-state fMRI as a drug-screening tool to accelerate the development of chemogenetics in primates.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Chemogenetics, such as designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), can afford control over neural activity with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Accelerating the translation of chemogenetic neuromodulation from rodents to primates requires an approach to screen novel DREADD actuators in vivo Here, we assessed brainwide activity in response to a DREADD actuator Deschloroclozapine (DCZ) using resting-state fMRI in macaque monkeys. We demonstrated that low-dose DCZ (0.1 mg/kg) did not change whole-brain functional connectivity or affective behaviors, while a higher dose (0.3 mg/kg) altered frontal functional connectivity and slowed response in a learning task. Our study highlights the excellent selectivity of DCZ at proper dosing, and demonstrates the utility of resting-state fMRI to screen novel chemogenetic actuators in primates.
[A novel ligand for chemogenetic receptors, Deschloroclozapine, enables rapid and selective modulation of neuronal activity and behavior in living animals]
Nihon Yakurigaku Zasshi 2022;157(4):233-237.PMID:35781451DOI:10.1254/fpj.22012.
A brain function is manifested by harmonizing some brain regions responsible for the function. Since pathological conditions in neuropsychiatric disorders are induced by the failure of this mechanism, it is crucial to identify the affected function by manipulating the specific brain regions. Designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) are one of the chemogenetic tools that offer a means to repeatedly reversible control of the activity of a target neural population expressing a "designer receptor" by systemic injection of "designer drug," which is biologically inert. The most widely used DREADDs are muscarinic-based receptors, such as hM3Dq (excitatory) and hM4Di (inhibitory), which can be activated by clozapine-N-oxide (CNO). However, CNO has some concerns. First, because CNO has a modest brain penetrability, the effect is slow. Second, since CNO is metabolized to clozapine, an antipsychotic drug that acts on numerous endogenous receptors, the systemic administration may produce off-target actions. Therefore, we developed a new compound, Deschloroclozapine (DCZ), to solve these issues. DCZ has a higher affinity and greater agonist potency than CNO with reduced off-target actions and can rapidly modulate the neuronal activity and behavior with muscarinic-based DREADDs in living animals. Given the potential weak point of CNO, DCZ affords clear benefits to many users of muscarinic-based DREADD, with increased reliability by removing concerns about possible off-target responses.
