TAT-CN21
Based on 1 Customer Validation
TAT-CN21 is a potent CaMKII inhibitor with an IC50 of 77.2 nM. TAT-CN21 inhibits both calcium/calmodulin-dependent and autonomously activated CaMKII, blocks glutamate-induced translocation of CaMK IIα, and reverses the enhanced phosphorylation of CaMKII at Thr286 following excitotoxic injury. TAT-CN21 shows application potential in studies related to ischemic stroke by reducing neuronal excitotoxicity and exacerbating pre-existing long-term neuronal death prior to injury. TAT-CN21 improves definitive behaviors in rats with residual nerve injury without altering indicators such as mechanical/thermal hyperalgesia or spatial memory. TAT-CN21 can also be used in studies related to neuropathic pain.

Biological Activity
|
CaMK IIα 77.2 nM (IC50) |
Tat-CN21 (0.1-50 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently protects 7-8 DIV primary rat cortical neurons against glutamate/glycine-induced excitotoxic injury when administered 20 minutes prior to injury, with the optimal efficacy observed at 2-10 μM[1].
Tat-CN21 (10 μM; 1 h-2 h) protects primary rat cortical neurons at 7-8 DIV against glutamate/glycine-induced excitotoxic injury[1].
Tat-CN21 (10 μM; 8-24 h) exacerbates submaximal dose glutamate/glycine-induced excitotoxicity in 7-8 DIV primary rat cortical neurons, and post-injury overnight treatment with Tat-CN21 also increases neuronal death[1].

Cell Line:7-8 DIV primary rat cortical neurons
-
Concentration:10 μM
-
Incubation Time:1 h pre-insult or post-insult up to 2 h
-
Result:Protected 7-8 DIV primary rat cortical neurons from glutamate/glycine-induced excitotoxicity when applied up to 2 h post-insult onset, with protection lost by 3 h post-insult.

-
Animal Model:Wistar rats (male, 200-250 g, spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain)[2]
-
Dosage:5 μM
-
Administration:bilateral stereotaxic microinjection into rACC; once daily; 7 consecutive days
-
Result:Did not significantly alter mechanical withdrawal threshold (2.85 ± 0.44 g on day 30; 2.87 ± 0.53 g on day 35) or thermal withdrawal latency compared to controls.
Did not significantly change spatial memory performance, including percentage of correct choices, working memory errors, or reference memory errors, compared to controls.
Reduced time spent in the light area to 32.84 ± 6.57% during the final 5 minutes in the place escape/avoidance paradigm, partially reversing pain-related aversion compared to controls.
Significantly reduced the relative expression of phosphorylated CaMKII-Thr286 to 1.12 ± 0.11 compared to controls (1.63 ± 1.18) in contralateral rACC tissue, with no significant effects on GluN2B protein or mRNA expression, or CaMKIIα protein, mRNA, or immunoreactivity levels.
