BPN-37440 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, selective, and orally active EP2 receptor inhibitor with an IC50 of 53-60 nM. BPN-37440 inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators IL-1β and COX-2, with an IC50 of 21 nM for IL-1β and 42 nM for COX-2. BPN-37440 reduces microgliosis in key brain regions of mice with pilocarpine (HY-B0726A)-induced status epilepticus and reverses their working memory and recognition memory deficits. BPN-37440 can be used for research on status epilepticus.

In Vitro

BPN-37440 (0.01-10000 nM) potently and selectively inhibits the EP2 receptor in C6 glioma cells, with an IC50 of 53-60 nM[1].
BPN-37440 (30-1000 nM) acts as an inhibitor of the hEP2 receptor (KB = 5.65 nM) and mouse EP2 receptor (KB = 9.55 nM) in C6 glioma cells[1].
BPN-37440 (0-1000 nM; 30 min preincubation, 2 h stimulation) potently inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators induced by LPS/EP2 agonists in BV2-hEP2 microglia, with an IC50 of 21 nM for IL-1β and 42 nM for COX-2[1].

In Vivo

BPN-37440 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 administrations) reduces microglial proliferation in key brain regions of mice with pilocarpine (HY-B0726A)-induced status epilepticus, and reverses their working memory and recognition memory deficits[1].

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

Animal Model: C57BL/6 (male, 8-12 weeks old)[1]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; 3 times (3-4, 6-8, and 19 hours after SE onset)
Result: Regained weight faster than vehicle-treated SE mice, with significant difference in weight loss on day 2 post-SE (P = 0.0043).
Attenuated microgliosis (measured by IBA 1 positive area covered) in the amygdala (P = 0.0130), cortex (P = 0.0038), and hippocampus CA3 region (P = 0.0183) 4 days post-SE; showed a reducing trend in the hippocampus CA1 region.
Reduced SE-induced increases in hippocampal inflammatory mediator mRNA levels (P = 0.033).
Improved working memory, with an alternation index of 0.65 compared to 0.54 in vehicle-treated SE mice (P = 0.033); no impact on distance traveled in the Y-maze.
Restored recognition memory, with a discrimination index of 0.277 in the novel object recognition test (P < 0.0001), compared to 0.048 in vehicle-treated SE mice.

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.
