DREADD agonist 21 is a potent human muscarinic acetylcholine M3 receptors (hM3Dq) agonist (EC50=1.7 nM) and does not activate human M3 receptor (hM3). In addition to being inactive at hM3, DREADD agonist 21, a potent full agonist of hM3Dq (EC50=1.7 nM), is only 3.5-fold selective for hM3Dq over H1, 40-fold selective over 5HT2A, 100-fold selective over 5HT2C, and 165-fold selective over α1A. DREADD agonist 21 shows high binding affinities to 5HT2A and 5HT2C serotonin receptor, α1A adrenergic receptor, and H1 histamine receptor with Ki values of 66, 170, 280, and 6 nM, respectively[1].
?
DREADD agonist 21 potently activates hM1Dq, hM3Dq, and hM4Di. DREADD agonist 21 binds to hM1, hM4, hM1Dq and hM4Di receptors with pKis of 5.97, 5.44, 7.20, and 6.75, respectively. DREADD agonist 21 potently activates hM3Dq in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected cells in vitro with a pEC50 of 8.48±0.05. DREADD agonist 21 is a highly selective and potent agonist for muscarinic DREADDs (pEC50 for hM1Dq=6.54 and that for hM4Di=7.77 in pERK assays)[2].

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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.98 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.98 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.
