Description

DPN (Diarylpropionitrile) is a non-steroidal estrogen receptor β (ERβ) selective ligand, with an EC50 of 0.85 nM. DPN has neuroprotective effects in a number of neurological diseases[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

ERβ

0.85 nM (EC50)

In Vitro

DPN has a 70-fold ERα relative binding affinity selectivity, and it is a full ERα agonist with a 78-fold ERα potency selectivity (EC50=0.85 nM for ERβ; EC50=66 nM for ERα)[1].
? DPN (10 nM) prevents morphological alterations from Aβ1-42 (10 μM)-induced toxicity in cultured cortical neurons[2].
? DPN (0.1-100 nM) decreases ROS levels in a non-dose response manner[2].
? DPN (0.1-100 nM) significantly reduces Aβ1-42-stimulated expression of Bax in a non-dose dependent manner[2].
? DPN (0.1-100 nM) reduces activated IL-1 levels induced by Aβ1-42 treatment on cultured cortical neurons[2].
? DPN (0.1-100 nM) suppresses the Aβ1-42-upregulated phosphorylation of JNK and p38[2].

In Vivo

DPN (10 μg; s.c.; daily; for 11 days) increases swimming and decreases immobility in the FST, and increases TPH protein expression in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) in rat model[3].

Animal Model: Adult Sprague-Dawley female rats (220-250 g), ovariectomized animal models[3]
Dosage: 10 μg/rat
Administration: Subcutaneous injections, daily, for 11 days
Result: Increased swimming and decreased immobility in the FST.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.45 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.45 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
