Product Description
YC-001 is an inverse agonist and antagonist of rod opsin. YC-001 reversibly binds to rod opsin and stabilizes the structure of rod opsin. YC-001 protects mice from bright light-induced retinal degeneration. YC-001 may be used for studying retinal degeneration.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
YC-001 (0-100 µM) exhibits an efficacy of 150–310% and a potency activity of 8.7 µM[1]. P23H opsin mutants exhibit improved glycosylation properties when treated with YC-001 (0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 µM) [1]. Rod photoreceptor proteins are reversibly bound by YC-001 (0,-1.5 µM), with an EC50 of 0.98 µM[1]. In NIH3T3 cells, YC-001 (0.313, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 80 µM) raises cAMP levels in a dose-dependent way [1].
ln Vivo
Bright light-induced retinal degeneration in Abca4−/−Rdh8−/− mice is prevented by intraperitoneal injection of YC-001 (50, 200 mg/kg) [1]. After systemic administration, mice receive an intraperitoneal injection of YC-001 (200 mg/kg), which enters their eyes but does not stay there for very long [1]. YC-001 (intraperitoneal injection, 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg; once daily for 24 days) exhibited almost no acute toxicity [

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~353.64 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.84 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.84 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.)

1 mM 3.5364 mL 17.6822 mL 35.3644 mL
5 mM 0.7073 mL 3.5364 mL 7.0729 mL
10 mM 0.3536 mL 1.7682 mL 3.5364 mL

*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.

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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
