Product Description
A71623 is a potent and selective CCK-A agonist. The IC50 of A-71623 for CCK-A and CCK-B is 3.7 nM and 4500 nM, respectively.
A 71623 (CAS#: 130408-77-4) is a potent and highly selective cholecystokinin A (CCK-A) receptor full agonist. It is a CCK-4-based peptide with the molecular formula C44H56N8O9 and a molecular weight of 841 g/mol. A 71623 is known for its ability to suppress food intake in various animal species, including mice, dogs, and monkeys. It exhibits a high degree of selectivity for the CCK-A receptor over the CCK-B receptor, with an IC50 of 3.7 nM for CCK-A and 1200-fold selectivity over CCK-B. This compound is used primarily in research to study appetite regulation and satiety signaling.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
A 71623 selectively targets the cholecystokinin A (CCK-A) receptor, also known as the CCK1 receptor. CCK-A receptors are primarily located in the gastrointestinal tract and certain regions of the brain, including the area postrema and the nucleus tractus solitarius. They mediate the physiological effects of cholecystokinin (CCK), a peptide hormone that is released in response to food intake. Activation of CCK-A receptors on vagal afferent nerve endings sends satiety signals to the brain, leading to a reduction in food intake. A 71623 is a full agonist at this receptor, meaning it can elicit the maximum possible response.
ln Vitro
A-71623 exhibits an affinity of 11 μM for the cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptor in the gastric glands of guinea pigs [1].
In vitro, A 71623 demonstrates potent agonist activity at the CCK-A receptor. It has an IC50 of 3.7 nM for the CCK-A receptor, indicating high affinity, and exhibits 1200-fold selectivity over the CCK-B receptor. This high selectivity is a key feature that makes A 71623 a valuable research tool for studying the specific role of the CCK-A receptor in appetite regulation, without the confounding effects of CCK-B receptor activation. In cell-based assays, A 71623 can stimulate intracellular signaling pathways downstream of CCK-A receptor activation, such as phospholipase C activation and calcium mobilization.
ln Vivo
A71623 (A-63387; administered intravenously, but not intraperitoneally) decreases food consumption and inhibits the intake of liquid diet in rats that are both satiated and hungry [2]. In Pcp2-ATXN1[30Q]D776;Cck-/- and Pcp2-AXTN1[82Q] mice, A71623 inhibits Purkinje neuron pathology and is linked to motor performance deficits [3]. The locomotor abilities of Pcp2-ATXN2[127Q] SCA2 mice can be enhanced by A71623 [3].
In vivo, A 71623 has been shown to suppress food intake in a variety of animal models. Oral or peripheral administration of A 71623 reduces food consumption in mice, dogs, and monkeys. This effect is mediated through the activation of CCK-A receptors, which trigger satiety signals via the vagus nerve to the brain. The compound's ability to suppress food intake in multiple species highlights its potential utility in studying the neurobiology of appetite and energy balance. It is a valuable tool for investigating the central and peripheral mechanisms that regulate feeding behavior.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular in vitro assays for A 71623 typically involve receptor binding studies. A standard protocol involves using membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant human CCK-A or CCK-B receptors. The membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand, such as [¹²⁵I]CCK-8, and varying concentrations of A 71623. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of an excess of unlabeled CCK-8. After incubation, the reaction is terminated by rapid filtration, and the radioactivity bound to the membranes is measured. The IC50 or Ki values are calculated from the competition curves using appropriate equations.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for A 71623 are performed using cell lines expressing the CCK-A receptor, such as CHO cells or HEK293 cells stably transfected with the receptor. Cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye (e.g., Fluo-4) and then stimulated with varying concentrations of A 71623. The increase in intracellular calcium concentration is measured using a fluorescence plate reader. The EC50 for calcium mobilization is determined from the concentration-response curve. This assay confirms that A 71623 is a functional agonist capable of activating the receptor and triggering downstream signaling events.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male, SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat [2]
Doses: 5 μL
Route of Administration: Intracerebroventricular (icv) administration, use a 28-gauge injection cannula to infuse A-71623 over 60 seconds in a volume of 5uL
Experimental Results: Food intake is diminished and liquid diet intake is inhibited.

Animal/Disease Models: ATXN1[30Q]-D776, ATXN1[82Q]-D776, ATXN2[127Q] and WT/FVB/NJ mice[3]
Doses: 0.02 mg/kg/day
Route of Administration: Contains A71623 (0.02 mg) of osmotic minipumps/kg/day) intraperitoneal(i.p.) implantation
Experimental Results: Treatment suppressed Purkinje neuron pathology in ATXN1[30Q]D776;Cck-/- mice and ATXN1[82Q] mice. Improved exercise performance in ATXN2[127Q] mice.
In vivo animal studies for A 71623 are conducted to assess its effects on food intake. A typical protocol involves using fasted male Sprague-Dawley rats or mice. Animals are administered A 71623 either intraperitoneally (i.p.) or orally at doses such as 0.01-1 mg/kg. Control animals receive the vehicle. Food intake is measured at various time points post-administration (e.g., 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours). The cumulative food intake is calculated and compared between treatment groups to determine the anorectic effect of the compound. Body weight may also be monitored over longer treatment periods.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
A 71623 is a peptide-based compound with a high molecular weight of approximately 841 g/mol. As a peptide, it is likely to have poor oral bioavailability due to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. It is typically administered via injection (i.p. or i.v.) in animal studies. The compound should be stored desiccated at -20°C. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters for A 71623, such as half-life, clearance, and volume of distribution, have not been extensively reported in the available literature. Its effects on food intake are observed relatively quickly after administration, suggesting a rapid onset of action.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicological data for A 71623 have not been extensively reported. As a research peptide, it is not intended for human use and is strictly for preclinical research purposes. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of personal protective equipment. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C. No specific toxicity data, such as LD50 values, are available in the provided literature.

Additional Infomation
A 71623 is a highly selective CCK-A receptor agonist that is widely used as a pharmacological tool to study appetite regulation and the physiology of the CCK system. Its high selectivity for CCK-A over CCK-B receptors makes it a valuable agent for dissecting the distinct roles of these two receptor subtypes. The compound has been instrumental in demonstrating the critical role of CCK-A receptor signaling in mediating the satiating effects of CCK. A 71623 is not a clinically approved drug and has not entered clinical trials. Its primary application is in academic and pharmaceutical research to understand the mechanisms of appetite control and to identify potential targets for anti-obesity therapies.
