| Bioactivity | BMS-470539 dihydrochloride is a highly potent and selective melanocortin-1 receptor (MC-1R) agonist with an IC50 of 120 nM, an EC50 of 28 nM. BMS-470539 dihydrochloride does not activate MC-3R and is a very weak partial agonist at MC-4R and MC-5R. BMS-470539 dihydrochloride has potently anti-inflammatory properties[1][2][3]. |
| Target | IC50: 120 nM (Melanocortin-1 receptor); EC50: 28 nM (Melanocortin-1 receptor) |
| Invitro | An HBL melanoma cell line is established that stably expresses a NF-κB luciferase reporter. In these cells, 0.5 ng/mL TNF-α induces a dose-dependent increase in NF-κB luciferase activity. Treatment of HBL-NF-κB cells with BMS-470539 elicits a dose-dependent, statistically significant reduction in TNF-α-stimulated NF-κB luciferase activity. BMS-470539 has no effect on luciferase reporter activity in the absence of TNF-α stimulation. In nontransfected HBL cells, treatment with BMS-470539 results in a dose-dependent inhibition of NF-B nuclear translocation[2]. |
| In Vivo | BMS-470539 (2.05-18.47 mg/kg; intravenous injection; for 125 minutes; WT and MC1 receptor recessive e/e mice) treatment inhibits cell adhesion and emigration with no effect on cell rolling. And also inhibits the tissue expression of both CXCL1 and CCL2[3]. Animal Model: |
