Product Description

AC-55541 is an agonist of protease-activated receptor (PAR) 2. AC-55541 activated PAR2 signaling in cellular proliferation assays, phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis assays, and Ca(2+) mobilization assays, with potencies ranging from 200 to 1000 nM. Rats receiving AC-55541 intraperitoneally had good absorption, with peak plasma concentrations of micromolar. With elimination half-lives of 6.1 hours, AC-55541 remained stable when metabolized by liver microsomes and was exposed to rats for an extended period of time. The application of AC-55541 or AC-264613 intrapaw caused edema and severe, long-lasting thermal hyperalgesia. These effects were totally inhibited by coadministration of a transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 1 antagonist or a tachykinin 1 (neurokinin 1) receptor antagonist. Hyperalgesia comparable to that seen with local administration of AC-55541 or AC-264613 was produced when the compounds were administered systemically.

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: AC-55541 is a protease-activated receptor (PAR) 2 agonist. With potencies ranging from 200 to 1000 nM, AC-55541 triggered PAR2 signaling in tests for cellular proliferation, phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, and Ca(2+) mobilization. When given intraperitoneally to rats, AC-55541 was well absorbed and reached micromolar peak plasma concentrations. With 6.1-hour elimination half-lives, AC-55541 remained stable when metabolized by liver microsomes and was exposed to rats for an extended period of time. AC-55541 or AC-264613 administered intrapaw produced edema and strong, long-lasting thermal hyperalgesia. These effects were totally blocked by coadministration of either a transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 1 antagonist or a tachykinin 1 (neurokinin 1) receptor antagonist. Similar levels of hyperalgesia were seen when AC-55541 or AC-264613 were administered systemically as they were when they were administered locally.

ln Vivo
At the time of testing, 150–200 g male Sprague-Dawley rats from Harrison (Indianapolis, IN) were kept in a climate-controlled room with a 12-hour light/dark cycle (lights on at 7:00 AM) and unlimited access to food and water. Before being used, the rats were kept in pairs for at least two days. The National Institutes of Health's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the International Association for the Study of Pain's policies and recommendations were followed throughout the entire testing process.
Enzyme Assay
The following assays were used to measure phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis. In order to generate PAR2 WT, 10,000 HEK 293T cells per well were seeded in DMEM (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml of penicillin, and 100 mg/ml of streptomycin. The cells were then grown in a 37°C humidified environment with 5% CO2. The cells were transfected using the indicated plasmid DNAs (30 ng/well of a 96-well plate) eighteen hours later, following the procedure previously described. The cells were transfected, and after 20 to 24 hours, they were labeled and washed again using DMEM culture medium that contained 0.2 μCi of NET1114 (37 MBq/ml; PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Waltham, MA) per well (0.1 ml).
Cell Assay
In summary, 7 × 103 cells were plated in 0.1 ml of media per well of a 96-well plate one day prior to transfection. A 96-well plate was used, and 10 ng of receptor DNA and 30 ng of pSI-β-galactosidase (Promega) were transiently transfected into each well using Polyfect, as directed by the manufacturer. The following day, the medium was switched, and cells and ligands were mixed together in 200 μl/well of DMEM supplemented with 25% Ultraculture synthetic supplement rather than calf serum. The levels of β-galactosidase were measured exactly as described after five days in culture. Before adding 200 μl of PBS supplemented with 3.5 mM O-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside and 0.5% Nonidet P-40 (both from Sigma-Aldrich), cells were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4. Plate readers were used to read the plates at 420 nm following a 2-4 hour incubation period.

Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
