HEP-50768
HEP-50768 is an orally active and selective MRGPRX4 (hX4) antagonist. HEP-50768 suppresses basal and bile-acid-stimulated hX4 activity. HEP-50768 binds the receptor’s transmembrane pocket and induces extracellular loop rearrangements. HEP-50768 modulates GPCR microswitch motifs and reduces bile-acid-induced pruritic scratching behaviors. HEP-50768 can be used for the research of cholestatic pruritus.
For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Biological Activity
HEP-50768 (1 nM-1 μM; 30 min) potently inhibits DCA-induced calcium mobilization in HEK293T cells stably expressing hX4 with an IC50 of 14 nM and achieves 100% inhibition at 2 μM[1].
HEP-50768 (0.1 μM) acts as an inverse agonist, significantly reducing basal inositol monophosphate levels in HEK293T cells expressing hX4[1].
HEP-50768 (2 μM; 1.5 h) modestly reduces GTPase activity of the purified hX4-Gq complex, consistent with its inverse agonist activity[1].
HEP-50768 (0.02-50 nM) binds purified apo hX4 and hX4-miniGαq complex with high, comparable affinity, exhibiting K0 values of 0.6 nM and 0.7 nM, respectively[1].
HEP-50768 (0.1 nM-10 mM; 30 min) is highly selective for hX4, showing weak inhibition of hX1 (IC50 = 16 μM) and hX2 (IC50 = 1.5 μM) with no agonist activity against either receptor[1].
HEP-50768 (~5 min) shows minimal hERG channel inhibition in HEK293 cells stably expressing hERG, with an IC50 exceeding 30 μM[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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.14 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 (7.14 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.
