PLX5622 is a highly selective brain penetrant and orally active CSF1R inhibitor (IC50=0.016 μM; Ki=5.9 nM). PLX5622 allows for extended and specific microglial cells elimination, preceding and during pathology development. PLX5622 demonstrates desirable PK properties in varies animals. PLX5622 is predominantly administered via ad libitum diets with a dose of 1200 ppm.

Biological Activity
PLX5622 (1-20 μM; 3 days) effectively depletes microglia without affecting oligodendrocytes or astrocytes in cerebellar slices. PLX5622 (4 μM; 3 days) causes a 30-40% reduction in NG2+ or PDGFRα+ cells, and this increased to 90-95% at 20 μM. No reduction of NG2+ or PDGFRα+ OPCs is observed in slices exposed to 1 μM or 2 μM PLX5622 despite robust (~95%) depletion of the microglial cells[3].

PLX5622 (1200 ppm; chow; for 3 weeks or 3 days; adult C57/Bl6 wild type mice) leads to around 80% of microglia lost after 3 days of treatment and a 99% microglia loss after 3 weeks of treatment. PLX5622 (adult C57/Bl6 wild type mice aged 3 months; diet for 3 weeks) decreases microglia in cortex, striatum, cerebellum and hippocampus[4].
PLX5622 (50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once (neonatal rat) or twice (adult rat) a day; for a total of 14 days) depletes microglia by 80-90% within 3 days of treatment, which increases to > 90% by 7 days. After 14 days of PLX5622 treatment, microglia is depleted by > 96% in both neonates and adults while preserving baseline astrocyte quantity. (A single daily injection of 0.65% PLX5622 suspended in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide and 20% Kolliphor RH40 in 0.01 M PBS is sufficient for neonatal microglia depletion, adult depletion requires injections twice daily)[5].
PLX5622 (formulated in AIN-76A standard chow at 1200 mg/kg; for 28 days) leads to reduction in microglia throughout the CNS in 14-month-old 5xfAD mice[6].
PLX5622 (1200 PPM in AIN-76A standard diet for 12 days) in CD1 pregnant dams eliminated approximately 99% of microglia from the embryonic brain from embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) to embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5), and increased apoptotic cell numbers were observed in the developing hypothalamus[7].
Preparation of gavage dosing suspensions for PLX5622[1]
PLX5622 is dissolved in DMSO at a concentration that is 20x the final dosing solution. The compound stock is protected from light. A fresh stock is made each week.
The components of the diluent generally are prepared a day or more in advance because they take time to dissolve completely: a) 2% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC): 2.0 g powder was brought to 100 mL deionized water; b) 25% Polysorbate 80 (PS80): 25 g was brought to 100 mL deionized water. To make 100 mL diluent, add 25 mL of 2% HPMC stock (0.5% final) and 4 mL of 25% PS80 stock (1% final) to 71 mL deionized water to have final 100 mL. Final composition after mixing with compound: 0.5% HPMC, 1% PS80, 5% DMSO.
On each dosing day, the compound stock is diluted 20-fold as follows: 19 volumes of diluent are measured into the tube, and 1 volume of the 20x compound/DMSO stock is added. The cap is closed and the content of the tube is mixed by inversion and placed in a sonicating water bath to make a uniform suspension.

Animal Model:Pregnant CD1 dams[7]
-
Dosage:1200 PPM
-
Administration:Fed diet; from embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) to embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5)
-
Result:Once the treatment was removed, microglia repopulated the postnatal brain within 7 days and did not appear to repopulate from Nestin+ precursors.
Resulted in a decreased litter size, and an increase in the number of pups that died within the first two postnatal days of life.
Surviving exposed animals displayed craniofacial and dental abnormalities.
Depletion of microglia during embryogenesis had long-term sex-specific effects on behaviour, including the development of hyperactivity and anxiolytic-like behaviour in juvenile and adult female mice, respectively.

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: 5% DMSO 95% (20% Ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil in Saline)
Solubility: 5 mg/mL (12.65 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 3.12 mg/mL (7.89 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.12 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (31.2 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 (6.32 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.
