Description

2-PCCA hydrochloride is a GPR88 receptor agonist, and inhibits GPR88-mediated cAMP production, with an EC50 of 116 nM in HEK293 cells.

IC50 & Target

EC50: 116 nM (GPR88 receptor, HEK293 cells)[1]

In Vitro

2-PCCA hydrochloride inhibits GPR88-mediated cAMP production through a Gαi-coupled pathway, with an EC50 of 116 nM in HEK293 cells stably expressing the human GPR88 receptor and the GloSensor-22F cAMP construct[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

2-PCCA (0.1-3.2 mg/kg, i.p.) decreases the locomotor activity in rats in a dose-dependent manner in rats. 2-PCCA combined with 1.0 mg/kg methamphetamine also dose-dependently reduces methamphetamine-induced hyperactivity. 2-PCCA (1-3.2 mg/kg, i.p.) alone does not produce methamphetamine-like discriminative stimulus effects, or alter the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine, when studied in combination[1].

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 (5.08 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 (5.08 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.

Animal Administration

Rats[1]
For the locomotor activity tests, rats are only used once. The test is conducted in an adjacent room from the animal colony room with similar environmental conditions (light, temperature and humidity). Before tests begin, rats are exposed to at least three days of handling by the experimenter. When only 2-PCCA (1.0 and 3.2 mg/kg) is studied, the drug is (i.p.) injected immediately before the rats are put into the test chambers and the locomotor activity is simultaneously recorded for 60 min. When 2-PCCA is studied in combination with methamphetamine, the locomotor activity is recorded for 20 min and then both drugs are simultaneously injected and the locomotor activity is recorded for 120 more min[1].

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.
