Description

KMCA-0011 is an orally active ɑ2C adrenoceptor antagonist (Ki = 56.7 nM). KMCA-0011 alleviates depressive behaviors by enhancing BDNF and synaptic plasticity. KMCA-0011 displays favorable metabolic stability, including high plasma stability (99.8% after 120 min). KMCA-0011 can be used for the research of depression[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

Alpha-2C adrenergic receptor

56.7 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

KMCA-0011 (Compound 11e) exhibits notably high binding affinity toward ɑ2C Adrenoceptor (Ki = 56.7 nM) in human HEK-293 cells[1].
KMCA-0011 (10 μM) effectively inhibits Epinephrine-induced (HY-B0447) ERK phosphorylation[1].

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

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: ɑ2C Adrenoceptor cDNA-transfected HEK-293 cells
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time:
Result: Induced no detectable ERK phosphorylation, indicating the absence of agonist activity.
Inhibited Epinephrine-induced ERK phosphorylation.
In Vivo

KMCA-0011 (Compound 11e) (1-10 mg/kg, p.o., daily for one week) shows the most consistent behavioral efficacy across multiple tests, uniquely ameliorates anxiety-like behavior in the EPM test, increases hippocampal BDNF expression and restores CORT-induced impairments in synaptic plasticity in the Maternal separation (MS) mouse model[1].

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

Animal Model: Maternal separation (MS) mouse model in ICR mice (7 weeks)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 10 mg/kg
Administration: oral gavage (p.o.), daily for one week
Result: Exhibited rapid antidepressant-like effects after a single administration, accompanied by enhanced synaptic plasticity.
Markedly improved cognitive dysfunction and reduced immobility time at all tested doses.
Neither decreased distance moved nor induced hyperactivity-like side effects.
Showed the most pronounced effect at 3 mg/kg, suggesting an improvement in anhedonia.
Restored sociability at 10 mg/kg.
Specifically improved MS-induced anxiety.
Significantly elevated BDNF expression at 10 mg/kg, indicating antidepressant activity through BDNF signaling modulation.
Effectively reversed the CORT-induced LTP impairment.

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (12.57 mM); Suspended solution

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (12.57 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
