ML221 is a potent apelin/APJ functional antagonist, inhibiting apelin-13-mediated activation of APJ, with IC50s of 0.70 μM in the cAMP assay, and 1.75 μM in the β-arrestin assay, and EC80 of 10 nM in both assays. ML221 is >37-fold selective over the closely related angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor (IC50, >79 μM) in cells. ML221 displays limited cross reactivity against a range of GPCRs except the κ-opioid and benzodiazepinone receptors (<50/<70%I at 10 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.

Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .

3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocolo
Cells (angiotensin II receptor-like 1 (AGTRL-1) cell line) are seeded at 1000 cell/well (1536 plate) in 4 μL and grown overnight (16-18 h) at 37°C, 5% CO2, 100% humidity, then 60 nL of either DMSO control or 2 mM stock test compounds (ML221, etc.) in DMSO are transferred to each well, followed by 2 μL of 30 nM Apelin-13 to negative control and test compound wells, and 2 μL of assay media (F12 nutrient mix HAMs supplemented with 10% hi-FBS, 1× penicillin/streptomycin) to positive control wells. This yields a final concentration of test compound (ML221, etc.) of 20 μM and 1% final DMSO. Assay is incubated for 90 min at room temperature, and then developed with 3 μL of detection reagent for 60 min and luminescence read on a ViewLux[1].
