Product Description

BCTC is a selective and orally bioactive vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1 receptor) antagonist. Inhibits acid- and capsaicin-induced activation of rat TRPV1 receptors (IC50 are 6.0 and 35 nM respectively). BCTC significantly reduced the accompanying thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg p.o., respectively). BCTC also reduced mechanical hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia 2 weeks after partial sciatic nerve injury (10 and 30 mg/kg p.o.). BCTC did not affect motor performance on the rotarod after administration of doses up to 50 mg/kg p.o.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
On DU145 cells, BCTC (20-100 μM; 72 h) exhibits very specific anti-tumor action [1]. By selectively controlling the expression levels of a handful of cell cycle regulatory proteins, BCTC (20-100 μM; 48 h) produces cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase without inducing apoptosis (10 μM and 100 μM; 72 h). Demise [1]. Cell migration and invasion are inhibited by BCTC (10μM and 100μM; 48 h) [1]. Rat spinal cord TRPV1 function is effectively inhibited by BCTC (3-300 nM), which also reduces capsaicin (300 nM)-induced calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) (IC50=37.0 nM) and p-like substance immunoreactivity in rat spinal cord slices (SP-LI) (IC50=36.0 nM) [3].
ln Vivo
By targeting VR1, BCTC (1-30 mg/kg; oral administration; single dosage) has analgesic effects and can reduce neuropathic and inflammatory thermal allodynia as well as mechanical hyperalgesia in Sprague-Dawley rats[2]. In diabetic ob/ob mice, BCTC (10–100 mg/kg; oral dosing, twice daily for 4 weeks) can enhance insulin production and improve systemic glucose and lipid metabolism as well as insulin resistance [5].
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: DU145
Tested Concentrations: 20 μM, 40 μM, 60 μM, 80 μM, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 48 h
Experimental Results: Down-regulates p-Akt, while p-GSK-3β is up-regulated leaving their unphosphorylated form unchanged. Dramatically down-regulated Cyclin D1(20), the most relevant protein in the cell cycle, without affecting cyclin-B1. decreased the expression of CDK2 and CDK6, but without affecting the expression level of CDK4. Downregulates MMP2 and p-FAK levels.

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: DU145, PNT1A
Tested Concentrations: 20 μM, 40 μM, 60 μM, 80 μM, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 h
Experimental Results: diminished the growth of DU145 cells in a concentration -dependent manner, with 12.03% and 50.69% growth inhibition at 10 µM and 100 µM, respectively, but had little effect on normal prostate PNT1A cells.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ≥ 50 mg/mL (~134.09 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.70 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.70 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. 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.

  • 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
