TG4-155

SKU: orb1301754

Description

TG4-155 is a potent and selective brain-penetrant antagonist of the EP2 receptor (K_B = 2.4 nM), exhibiting >1000-fold selectivity over EP4 and other off-targets. This profile makes it a valuable research tool for investigating EP2-mediated neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and pain in both cellular and animal models.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  EP2 receptor:9.9 nM (Ki)
• In Vivo:
  TG4-155 significantly reduces neurodegeneration in a mouse model of status epilepticus, induced by pilocarpine. It inhibits proliferation, invasion, and inflammatory cytokine expression in cancer cells treated with butaprost.
• In Vitro:
  TG4-155 is a brain penetrant EP2 antagonist (KB = 2.4 nM) that is over 1000-fold less effective at EP4 (KB = 11.4 μM) and a panel of other receptors and channels.
• Cell Research:
  Cytotoxicity of TG4-155 was examined with the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay by measuring cellular ATP level, which correlates with cell viability. Briefly, C6G cells were plated in 384-well plates at 2,000 cells/well in 25 μl DMEM plus test compound and incubated for 2 days. CellTiter-Glo reagent (25 μl) was then added to each well. The contents were mixed for 2 minutes on an orbital shaker to induce cell lysis and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Relative viability is proportional to luminescence intensity as measured by a microplate reader with an integration time of 1 second.
• Animal Research:
  C57BL/6 mice (8 12 wk old) were injected with pilocarpine (280 mg/kg, i.p.) to induce status epilepticus (SE). SE was allowed for 1 h and terminated by pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.p.). Mice were then randomized by assignment to a random number stream and received two doses of vehicle or TG4-155 (5 mg/kg, i.p.) at 1 and 12 h after SE termination. Mice were euthanized under deep isoflurane anesthesia 24 h after SE and brains were collected for histology.
