Calhex 231
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Calhex 231 is a potent negative allosteric modulator that blocks (IC50 = 0.39 μM) increases in [3H]inositol phosphates elicited by activating the human wild-type CaSR transiently Ca2+-sensing receptor. Calhex 231 can be used in the study of traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) and diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
In Vitro
Calhex 231 dose-dependently inhibited the IP response induced by 10 mM Ca2+ with a potency in the T764A (IC50 = 0.28 ± 0.05 μM) and H766A (IC50 = 0.64 ± 0.03 μM) mutant receptors similar to that in the WT receptor[1].
Calhex 231 treatment significantly downregulates the CaSR, α-SMA, Col-I/III, MMP2/9 expresses. Calhex231 alleviates high glucose-induced myocardial fibrosis in cardiac fibroblasts[2].
Calhex 231 could inhibit Itch (atrophin-1 interacting protein 4)-ubiquitin proteasome and TGF-β1/Smads pathways, and then depress the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts, along with the reduction deposition of collagen, alleviate glucose-induced myocardial fibrosis[2].

Cell Line:Primary neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs).
-
Concentration:3 µM.
-
Incubation Time:24 hours.
-
Result:Significantly decreased the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts.
In Vivo
Calhex-231 (Cal, 0.1-1 mg/kg) has a mitigating effect on traumatic hemorrhagic shock by improving vascular hyporesponsiveness and reducing mitochondrial dysfunction[3].

Animal Model:Male Wistar rats (8 weeks old) injected with Streptozotocin[2]
-
Dosage:4.07 mg/kg (10 µmoL/kg).
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 12 weeks.
-
Result:Ameliorated diabetic myocardial fibrosis in T1D rats.
-
Animal Model:Four hundred and fifty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (half male and half female)[3].
-
Dosage:0.1, 1, or 5 mg/kg.
-
Administration:A continuous infusion.
-
Result:In all groups, MAP, LVSP, and ±dp/dtmax decreased significantly after shock.
Administration of 5 or 1 mg/kg Cal resulted in significantly increased values at 1 and 2 hr postadministration, compared to rats in the LR only group (or 0.01).
Rats treated with 1 mg/kg Cal demonstrated the greatest recovery.
LR infusion induced short-term and slightly increase of blood pressor in normal rats.
Cal (1 mg/kg) without LR infusion did not restore the decreased MAP after shock.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
