Product Description
ARC-239 (ARC239) is a novel and potent α2-adrenergic receptor agonist with a pKd of 8.8, and exhibits 200-fold selectivity over α2A, and α2D receptors.
ARC-239 (CAS 67339-62-2) is a selective α2B/C-adrenergic receptor antagonist. It has pKi values of 7.06 for rat kidney α2B and 6.95 for human α2C adrenergic receptors. ARC-239 also inhibits the 5-HT1A receptor with a Ki of 63.1 nM. It is a synthetic piperazine-based antagonist with demonstrated selectivity for α2B- and α2C-adrenoceptor subtypes over α2A-adrenoceptors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ARC-239 targets α2B- and α2C-adrenergic receptors. It acts as a selective antagonist with pKi values of 7.06 for rat kidney α2B and 6.95 for human α2C adrenergic receptors. It exhibits high selectivity for α2B- and α2C-adrenoceptor subtypes over α2A-adrenoceptors. ARC-239 also inhibits the 5-HT1A receptor with a Ki of 63.1 nM.
ln Vitro
In vitro, ARC-239 demonstrates high affinity and selectivity for α2B- and α2C-adrenergic receptors. It has pKi values of 7.06 for rat kidney α2B and 6.95 for human α2C adrenergic receptors. ARC-239 also inhibits the 5-HT1A receptor with a Ki of 63.1 nM. These in vitro activities confirm its profile as a selective α2B/C-adrenergic receptor antagonist with additional 5-HT1A receptor affinity.
ln Vivo
In vivo, ARC-239 is used as a research tool to study the physiological and pharmacological roles of α2-adrenergic receptors. Its selectivity for α2B- and α2C-subtypes makes it valuable for distinguishing the functions of different α2-adrenoceptor subtypes. However, specific details of in vivo efficacy studies are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro receptor binding assay for ARC-239 typically involves radioligand displacement studies using membrane preparations from tissues or cells expressing α2-adrenergic receptor subtypes. The compound's affinity (pKi) is determined by measuring its ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand from rat kidney α2B and human α2C receptors. Its affinity for 5-HT1A receptors is assessed similarly.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for ARC-239 assess its functional antagonism at α2-adrenergic receptors. Cells expressing α2B- or α2C-adrenergic receptors are stimulated with an α2-agonist, and the compound's ability to inhibit downstream signaling is measured. These assays demonstrate the compound's functional antagonism at α2B- and α2C-adrenergic receptors in a relevant cellular context.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for ARC-239 are conducted to study the physiological roles of α2-adrenergic receptor subtypes. The compound is administered to animals, and its effects on various physiological parameters are assessed. Its selectivity for α2B- and α2C-subtypes allows for the dissection of subtype-specific functions. However, specific details of these studies are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for ARC-239 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a research compound, its pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are not well-characterized. The compound is primarily used in in vitro and in vivo research settings. Its pharmacokinetic profile would be important for its development as a therapeutic agent.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for ARC-239 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a selective α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, its toxicity profile is likely related to its pharmacological activity. However, preclinical toxicology studies would be required to assess its safety margin. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human use.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
