Biological Activity
| Targets | GPR39 ( IC50 = 0.4 nM ); GPR39 ( IC50 = 0.8 nM ) |
| ln Vitro | TC-G-1008 demonstrates selectivity towards a range of kinases (IC50s>10 μM) and lacks significant binding affinity towards the associated ghrelin and neurotensin-1 receptors (IC50s>30 μM)[1]. GPR39-C3, a positive allosteric modulator, stimulates the production of cAMP (downstream of Gs), IP1 accumulation (downstream of Gq), SRF-RE-dependent transcription (downstream of G12/13), and β-arrestin recruitment in HEK293-GPR39 cells. By introducing the compound again, GPR39-C3 causes a dose- and time-dependent loss of response in the synthesis of cAMP[2]. |
| ln Vivo | For TC-G-1008, the measured levels of rat and mouse plasma protein binding are 99.3% and 99.1%, respectively. In mice, TC-G-1008 is orally bioavailable and effectively raises acute GLP-1 levels. After taking 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg of aqueous suspensions in 0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween 80 orally, TC-G-1008 reaches maximal exposures of 1.4, 6.1, and 25.3 μM in 1 to 1.5 hours, respectively[1]. |
| Enzyme Assay | HEK293-GPR39 cells are plated and grown in the growth medium for an entire night at 37°C with 5% CO2 in white, 384-well plates coated with poly-d-lysine (4000 cells/well). The culture medium is removed before the cells are stimulated with GPR39 ligands in assay buffer for the specified amount of time at 37°C. This is done for pretreatment of the cells with GPR39 ligands (TC-G-1008) or vehicle control (DMSO). After that, the compound solution is taken out and twice cleaned using PBS that has 0.1% BSA added. The cells are stimulated with drugs in stimulation buffer for 30 minutes at 37°C in order to measure the amount of intracellular cAMP. The HTRF cAMP dynamic 2 kit is used to measure the intracellular cAMP level[2]. |
| Animal Protocol | Mice: Single oral doses of TC-G-1008 at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg are administered to mice[1]. |

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.97 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 (5.97 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 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.97 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.) |
