Zelnecirnon (RPT-193; RPT193) is a novel and potent inhibitor of CCR4 with anti-inflammatory activity and may be used for allergic inflammation in atopic dermatitis, and asthma. It acts by inhibiting the recruitment of Th2 inflammatory immune cells into inflamed tissues.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Zelnecirnon has an IC50 of about 370 nM and inhibits Th2 cell chemotaxis or migration at concentrations of 1 nM–10 μM[2]. |
| ln Vivo | A mouse model of acute ovalbumin (OVA)-induced atopic dermatitis has shown that zelnecirnon (100 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 2 days, 1 day before OVA challenge) reduces skin inflammation [2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Mouse acute ovalbumin (OVA)-induced atopic dermatitis model [2] Doses: 100 mg/kg Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); one time/day; lasts for 2 days, starting 1 day before OVA challenge (In mouse ears) Experimental Results: Significant reduction in ear thickness. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~176.38 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.41 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 (4.41 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 (4.41 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.) |
