Product Description
AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) is a novel cell-permeable and chemical inducer of dimerization, used to dimerize FK506-binding protein (FKBP) fusion proteins and initiate biological signaling cascades and gene expression or disrupt protein-protein interactions. AP20187-mediated activation of a chimeric insulin receptor results in insulin-like actions in skeletal muscle and liver of diabetic mice.
AP20187 (CAS 195514-80-8) is a synthetic, cell-permeable chemical inducer of dimerization (CID) specifically designed to dimerize FK506-binding protein (FKBP) fusion proteins. It is a synthetic analog of FK506 (tacrolimus) that acts as a molecular glue to bring two FKBP domains together, thereby initiating biological signaling cascades, activating gene expression, or disrupting protein-protein interactions. This compound is a powerful research tool for precisely controlling biological processes and studying complex cellular mechanisms.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AP20187 targets the FK506-binding protein (FKBP) family, specifically engineered fusion proteins containing the FKBPF36V domain. It functions as a homodimerizer, binding to two FKBP domains simultaneously and bringing them into close proximity. This induced proximity can activate chimeric receptors or signaling molecules, such as by dimerizing the intracellular domain of the Fas receptor to induce apoptosis, or by activating a chimeric insulin receptor to trigger insulin-like actions.
ln Vitro
AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) (100 nM) treatment of LNCaP cells resulted in a considerable decrease in ro-iCaspase-9 levels and a significant weakening of caspase-9 processing activity [2].
In vitro, AP20187 (100 nM) has been shown to significantly reduce pro-caspase-9 levels and generate the smaller, processed active caspase-9 in LNCaP cells, indicating the induction of apoptosis. It potently inhibits the differentiation of transfected myoblasts in the absence of bFGF, blocks myotube formation and myosin heavy chain expression, and stimulates MAP kinase phosphorylation. AP20187 is also used to induce apoptosis in cells expressing FKBPF36V fusion proteins with the Fas receptor or FADD.
ln Vivo
Real-time PCR analysis showed that AP20187 (B/B homodimer) (0.5 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg) treatment significantly enhanced PLP/Fv2E-PERK in PID12 CHOP mRNA levels in the CNS of Fv2E. AP20187 therapy significantly decreased EAE-induced myelin damage during these procedures. AP20187 (B/B Homodimerizer) therapy dramatically reduced the number of degenerated axons and enhanced axonal density in PLP/Fv2E-PERK anatomical lumbar demyelinating lesions [2].
In vivo, AP20187 treatment has demonstrated significant biological effects. In PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice, administration at doses of 0.5, 2, or 5 mg/kg significantly increased CHOP mRNA levels in the central nervous system and alleviated EAE-induced myelin damage. It also significantly reduced the number of degenerating axons and increased axonal density in demyelinating lesions. In diabetic mice, AP20187-mediated activation of a chimeric insulin receptor resulted in insulin-like actions, increasing hepatic glycogen content and muscular glucose uptake.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro binding assay for AP20187 is typically performed using cell-free systems with purified FKBP domains. The interaction between AP20187 and FKBP can be studied using techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to determine binding affinity and stoichiometry. Competition binding assays with fluorescently labeled FKBP can also be used to assess the compound's potency. These assays characterize the fundamental molecular interaction that underlies its dimerization activity.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for AP20187 involve treating cells engineered to express FKBP-fusion proteins with the compound. Common readouts include the activation of specific signaling pathways (e.g., MAP kinase phosphorylation), changes in gene expression (e.g., CHOP mRNA), or the induction of apoptosis (e.g., caspase-9 activation). These assays are used to study signal transduction, protein function, and to validate the specificity of the dimerization system.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for AP20187 are conducted in transgenic mouse models expressing FKBP-fusion proteins. AP20187 is typically administered systemically via injection. Endpoints include the analysis of target gene expression in tissues, assessment of disease pathology (e.g., myelin damage in EAE models), and evaluation of physiological effects like glucose uptake. These studies demonstrate the compound's utility for in vivo modulation of protein function.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
AP20187 is a cell-permeable small molecule that is typically administered via injection in vivo. As a synthetic compound, it is designed for research use and exhibits suitable pharmacokinetic properties for systemic administration. Its cell permeability allows it to reach intracellular FKBP fusion proteins. However, detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, volume of distribution, and bioavailability are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for AP20187 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a research tool, its toxicity profile is evaluated in the context of specific experimental models. The compound is generally well-tolerated at the doses used for inducing dimerization. However, comprehensive toxicological studies are not typically performed for research-use compounds. It is intended for research purposes only and is not for human use.

Biological Data
  • Persistent activation of PERK signaling specifically in oligodendrocytes was not detrimental to these cells or to myelin in adult animals. A, Real-time PCR analysis showed that AP20187-induced PERK signaling increased the expression of CHOP and GADD34 in the mixed glial cultures generated from neonatal PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice in a dose-dependent manner but did not significantly affect the expression of BIP. B, Real-time PCR analysis showed that AP20187 treatment increased the expression of CHOP and GADD34 in the spinal cords of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice in a dose-dependent manner but did not significantly affect the expression of BIP. C, D, CC1 and p-eIF2α double immunostaining showed that p-eIF2α was undetectable in oligodendrocytes in the spinal cords of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice treated with vehicle but became detectable in the oligodendrocytes of mice treated with AP20187. E, Cell counting revealed that the numbers of CC1-positive oligodendrocytes in the white matter of the spinal cords and the cerebellums of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice treated with AP20187 were comparable with those of mice treated with vehicle. F, G, MBP immunostaining showed that AP20187 treatment did not alter myelin integrity in the spinal cords of adult PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice; N = 3 animals. Error bars indicate SD. ★p < 0.05. Scale bar: C, D, 12 μm; F, G, 200 μm.[2]. Oligodendrocyte-specific activation of PERK signaling protects mice against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. J Neurosci. 2013 Apr 3;33(14):5980-91.
  • Enhancing the PERK-mediated ISR specifically in oligodendrocytes attenuated EAE disease severity. A, Mean clinical score were recorded daily: 0 = healthy; 1 = flaccid tail; 2 = ataxia and/or paresis of hindlimbs; 3 = paralysis of hindlimbs and/or paresis of forelimbs; 4 = tetraparalysis; 5 = moribund or death. N = 12 animals. Error bars indicate SD. ★p < 0.05. B, Real-time PCR analysis showed that AP20187 treatment increased the expression of CHOP in the spinal cords of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice at PID12; N = 4 animals. Error bars indicate SD. ★p < 0.05. C, D, CC1 and p-eIF2α double immunostaining showed that the level of p-eIF2α was markedly increased in oligodendrocytes in the lumbar spinal cords of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice treated with AP20187 at PID12; N = 3 animals. Scale bar: C, D, 23 μm.[2]. Oligodendrocyte-specific activation of PERK signaling protects mice against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. J Neurosci. 2013 Apr 3;33(14):5980-91.
  • Enhancing the PERK-mediated ISR specifically in oligodendrocytes ameliorated EAE-induced demyelination and oligodendrocyte loss. A–C, At PID19, MBP immunostaining revealed large demyelinating lesions in the lumbar spinal cords of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice treated with vehicle. Interestingly, AP20187 treatment significantly reduced the size of demyelinating lesions in PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice; 20 sections per mouse, N = 4 animals. D–F, Toluidine blue staining showed that AP20187 treatment significantly reduced the percentage of the white matter area of the lumbar spinal cord that was demyelinated in PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice at PID19; 5 serial sections per mouse, N = 4 animals. G–I, CC1 immunostaining showed that AP20187 treatment significantly attenuated the oligodendrocyte loss observed at PID19 in the demyelinating lesions in the lumbar spinal cord of PLP/Fv2E-PERK mice; 20 sections per mouse, N = 4 animals. Error bars indicate SD. ★p < 0.05. Scale bar: A, B, 200 μm; D, E, 30 μm; G, H, 15 μm.[2].
