PMX-53 (3D53) is a synthetic peptidic and a potent and orally active complement C5a receptor (CD88) antagonist with an IC50 of 20 nM. PMX-53 is also a low-affinity MrgX2 agonist that stimulates MrgX2-mediated mast cell degranulation. PMX-53 specifically binds to C5aR1 and does not bind to the second C5aR (C5L2) and C3aR. PMX-53 has anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antiatherosclerotic effects.

    In Vitro

    PMX-53 is a potent CD88 antagonist and inhibits C5a-induced neutrophil myeloperoxidase release and chemotaxis with IC50 values of 22 nM and 75 nM, respectively[1].
    PMX-53 (10 nM) inhibits C5a-induced Ca2+ mobilization in HMC-1 cells, but at higher concentrations( ≥30 nM) it causes degranulation in LAD2 mast cells, CD34+ cell-derived mast cells, and RBL-2H3 cells stably expressing MrgX2. Replacement of Trp with Ala and Arg with dArg abolishes the ability of PMX-53 to inhibit C5a-induced Ca2+ mobilization in HMC-1 cells and to cause degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells expressing MrgX2[1].

    In Vivo

    PMX-53 (0.3-3 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once; male Wistar rats) treatment inhibits the hypernociception induced by zymosan-activated serum and C5a but not by the direct-acting hypernociceptive mediators, prostaglandin E2 and dopamine[2].
    Local pretreatment of rats with PMX-53 (60-180 μg per paw) inhibits zymosan-, carrageenan-, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and antigen-induced hypernociception[2].
    Pharmacokinetic analyses have shown that PMX-53 (3D53) appears in the plasma within 5 min of oral administration (3 mg/kg) to rats, with peak blood levels of approximately 0.3 μM being reached within 20 min The plasma elimination half-life was approximately 70 min in this case[3].
    The non-acetylated version of PMX-53 (3D53) binds to isolated mouse neutrophils with a Kd value of 30 nM (mouse C5a binds with a Kd value of 0.3 nM) and inhibits mouse C5a-induced chemotaxis with an IC50 value of 0.5 nM[3].

    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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.32 mM); Clear solution

    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.
