Product Description
BT44 is a selective RET activator. BT44 can penetrate the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and may be utilized to study neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes.
BT44 (CAS#: 924759-42-2) is a novel, second-generation glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) mimetic and a selective RET activator. It has the molecular formula C28H27F4N3O4S and a molecular weight of 577.59. BT44 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and can be used for research of neurodegenerative disorders and diabetes mellitus. It promotes RET phosphorylation and selectively activates downstream cascades in cells expressing GFL receptors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
BT44 targets the RET receptor tyrosine kinase, which plays critical roles in neuronal survival, regeneration, and development. It is a selective RET activator and a small molecule mimetic of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). By activating RET, BT44 promotes neuronal survival and regeneration, making it a promising lead compound for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. BT44 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, enabling central nervous system applications.
ln Vitro
In recipient cells that express GFL, BT44 (7.5-75 μM; 15 min) selectively activates downstream pathways and increases RET phosphorylation [1]. BT44 (0.5-10 μM; 16–20 h) boosting sensory neurons was examined using Western blot analysis [1].
In vitro, BT44 (7.5-75 μM; 15 minutes) promotes RET phosphorylation and selectively activates downstream cascades in cells expressing GFL receptors. It is a selective RET activator that mimics the effects of GDNF. These in vitro properties make BT44 a valuable tool for studying RET-mediated signaling pathways and their roles in neuronal survival, regeneration, and diabetes.
ln Vivo
BT44 (5-25 mg/kg; sc; every two days for 10, 42, or 14 days) attenuates sensory signs in neurogenic SNL and STZ models [1]. Once every two days for 10 days) has a protective effect on IB4-positive neurons in DRGs of experimental nerve-damaged animals [1]. BT44 (0.1 and 0.3 μg/24 hours; injected into the right dorsal striatum for 14 days) restores amphetamine-induced motor balance in the 6-OHDA Parkinson model and appears to protect dopaminergic fibers in the striatum [2]. BT44 (10 mg/kg; iv) crosses the blood-brain barrier and is rapidly eliminated from the circulation (half-life (t1/2) = 0.72 h) and brain (t1/2 = 0.47 h) in the stent [2].
In vivo, BT44 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and can be used for research of neurodegenerative disorders and diabetes mellitus. As a GDNF mimetic and RET activator, it promotes neuronal survival and regeneration, making it a lead compound for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for BT44 involves measuring its activation of RET kinase activity. Cells expressing RET are treated with BT44 at various concentrations, and RET phosphorylation is assessed by Western blot using phospho-specific antibodies against RET or downstream signaling proteins (e.g., AKT, ERK, PLCγ). Kinase activity can also be measured using recombinant RET in kinase assays with peptide substrates and ATP. Binding affinity to RET can be assessed using surface plasmon resonance.
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: GFRα3 transfected MG87RET cells
Tested Concentrations: 7.5, 18, 35 and 75 μM
Incubation Duration: 15 minutes
Experimental Results: Increased phosphorylation of RET and ERK.
The in vitro cell-based assay for BT44 involves culturing cells expressing GFL receptors (e.g., RET) and treating them with the compound to assess effects on RET signaling and cell survival. Cells are treated with BT44 at various concentrations (7.5-75 μM) for 15 minutes, and RET phosphorylation and downstream signaling (AKT, ERK, PLCγ) are assessed by Western blot. Cell survival and neurite outgrowth can be assessed in neuronal cell cultures. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Wistar rat, spinal nerve ligation (SNL) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes model [1]
Doses: 5, 12.5 or 25 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection, once every other day, Results for 10, 42 or 14 days: Reduction of mechanical allodynia in SNL animals. Treatment at the 5 mg/kg dose diminished mechanical hyperalgesia in STZ-treated animals, whereas the 12.5 mg/kg dose had no effect. The concentration of 5 mg/kg diminished cold allodynia in animals treated with STZ during the first two weeks, while the effect of 12.5 mg/kg was not significant.
Animal/Disease Models: Wistar rat, SNL-induced diabetes model [1]
Doses: 12.5 or 25 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection, once every other day for 10 days
Experimental Results: resulted in a significant increase in the number of IB4-expressing neurons. Side DRG. A dose of 12.5 mg/kg protected IB4-positive neurons from SNL-induced damage.
In vivo animal studies for BT44 have not been extensively reported. If conducted, such studies might involve mouse models of neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease, ALS) or diabetes. BT44 would be administered orally or intraperitoneally, and behavioral, biochemical, and histological endpoints would be assessed. Standard protocols for neurodegenerative disease or diabetes models would be employed. No specific data are available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
BT44 is a small molecule that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, making it suitable for central nervous system research. It has a molecular weight of 577.59 and a molecular formula of C28H27F4N3O4S. The compound is soluble in DMSO and can be formulated for in vivo administration. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and bioavailability are not available from publicly accessible sources.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of BT44 has not been systematically evaluated. As a RET activator and GDNF mimetic, its primary safety concerns would relate to on-target effects on neuronal survival and proliferation. Standard toxicology assessments would include acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies in rodents, with endpoints including clinical signs, body weight, clinical pathology, and histopathology. No specific toxicity data are available.
