Description

ML402, a thiophene-carboxamide, is a selective K2P2.1(TREK-1) and K2P10.1(TREK-2) activator. ML402 is inactive against K2P4.1(TRAAK)[1].

IC50 & Target

TREK-1/2[1]

In Vitro

Xenopus oocyte two-electrode voltage-clamp measurements show that ML335 and ML402 activate K2P2.1 and K2P10.1 but not K2P4.1(14.3±2.7 μM, K2P2.1-ML335; 13.7±7.0 μM, K2P2.1-ML402; 5.2±0.5 μM, K2P10.1-ML335; and 5.9±1.6 μM, K2P10.1-ML402). The K2P modulator pocket has a single difference among TREK subfamily members at the cation-π interaction position, K2P2.1 Lys271, which is also a lysine in K2P10.1 but a glutamine in K2P4.1. Swapping the Lys271 equivalent between K2P2.1 and K2P4.1 results in a clear phenotype reversal for ML335 and M402 activation. K2P2.1 (K271Q) is insensitive to ML335 and ML402, whereas K2P4.1 (Q258K) responds to both with a similar EC50 to K2P2.1 (14.3±2.7 μM, K2P2.1-ML335; 16.2±3.0 μM, K2P4.1(Q258K)-ML335; 13.7±7.0 μM, K2P2.1-ML402; 13.6±1.5 μM, K2P4.1 (Q258K)-ML402) but with a lower magnitude response than K2P2.1[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 (8.45 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.45 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay

K2P2.1cryst ML335 and ML402 complex crystals grow in the same conditions as K2P2.1cryst, but the protein is incubated for at least 1 h with 2.5 mM of activator (including ML 402) before setting the crystal plates. ML335 and ML402 are insoluble in aqueous solutions, so they are dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 500 mM. Then each compound is diluted 1:100 in SEC buffer to 5 mM concentration, giving a milky solution. This solution is mixed 1:1 to K2P2.1cryst previously concentrating to 12 mg/mL. The K2P2.1cryst ML402 mixture results in a clear solution, while the mixture with ML335 is slightly milky. The samples are briefly centrifuged in a table-top centrifuge (10,000×g) to remove any insoluble material before setting the crystal plates. Dose-response experiments are carried by first preparing a DMSO stock solution of each activator (including ML402) at a concentration of 100 mM. Owing to the low solubility of the compounds the highest test concentrations in recording solution are 100 μM and 80 μM for ML335 and ML402, respectively. Other concentrations are prepared by serial dilutions of the 100 μM solution in recording buffer supplementing with 0.1% DMSO[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.
