4-P-PDOT
Based on 10 publication(s) in Google Scholar
4-P-PDOT is a potent, selective and affinity Melatonin receptor (MT2) antagonist. 4-P-PDOT is >300-fold more selective for MT2 than MT1. 4-P-PDOT significantly counteracts Melatonin-mediated antioxidant effects (GSH/GSSG ratio, phospho-ERK, Nrf2 nuclear translocation, Nrf2 DNA-binding activity).

Biological Activity
|
MT2 |
In CHO-mt1 cells the amidotetraline 4-P-PDOT (10 mM) has no effect on forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP levels, either alone, or in the presence of Melatonin. In contrast, in CHO-MT2 cells, 4-P-PDOT is an agonist, producing a concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin stimulated cyclic AMP, with a pEC50 value of 8.72 and intrinsic activity of 0.86[1].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 4.17 mg/mL (14.93 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4.17 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (41.7 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.
