Product Description
GP1a is a potent agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). Gp1a facilitates skin wound healing. GP1a inhibits inflammation and fibrogenesis while promoting re-epithelialization.
GP1a (GP 1a) (CAS#: 511532-96-0) is a potent agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). It has a molecular formula of C23H22Cl2N4O and a molecular weight of 441.35. GP1a has an EC50 of 7.1 nM in cAMP, GTPγS, and β-arrestin recruitment assays. It is approximately 30-fold selective for CB2 over CB1. GP1a increases P-ERK1/2 expression in HL-60 cells in vitro and is beneficial for skin wound healing.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GP1a targets cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2), a G protein-coupled receptor that is primarily expressed on immune cells, including B cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages. CB2 receptors are involved in the modulation of immune responses, inflammation, and pain. By acting as a potent agonist of CB2, GP1a activates CB2-mediated signaling pathways, including inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and activation of ERK1/2. Its approximately 30-fold selectivity for CB2 over CB1 makes it a valuable tool for studying CB2 biology and for developing CB2-targeted therapies.
ln Vitro
In vitro, GP1a is a potent agonist of CB2 with an EC50 of 7.1 nM in cAMP, GTPγS, and β-arrestin recruitment assays. It shows approximately 30-fold selectivity for CB2 over CB1. In cell-based assays, GP1a increases P-ERK1/2 expression in HL-60 cells. Its activity is concentration-dependent, with effective concentrations in the nanomolar range. Its potent and selective CB2 agonism makes it a valuable tool for studying CB2 function, immune modulation, and inflammation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, GP1a is beneficial for skin wound healing. It inhibits inflammation and fibrogenesis while promoting re-epithelialization. Administration of GP1a in animal models results in improved wound healing outcomes. Its ability to modulate CB2-mediated immune responses supports its potential for treating inflammatory and fibrotic conditions. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data and pharmacokinetic profiles are limited in publicly available sources.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro CB2 activation assay for GP1a typically uses cells expressing recombinant human CB2 (e.g., CHO cells) and measures cAMP accumulation, GTPγS binding, or β-arrestin recruitment. For cAMP assays, cells are treated with varying concentrations of the test compound (typically 0.01 nM to 10 µM) and forskolin, and cAMP levels are measured using a competitive ELISA or HTRF-based cAMP detection kit. For GTPγS binding assays, membranes from CB2-expressing cells are incubated with [³⁵S]-GTPγS and varying concentrations of the compound. EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression. Positive controls (e.g., known CB2 agonists) and negative controls (DMSO vehicle) are included in each assay run.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, HL-60 cells or other CB2-expressing cells are treated with GP1a at concentrations ranging from 0.01 nM to 10 µM for 1-24 hours. ERK1/2 phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. For wound healing studies, cell migration is assessed using scratch assays. All experiments include appropriate controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo wound healing studies, rodent models of skin wound healing are used. GP1a is administered topically or intraperitoneally at doses ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. Wound healing is assessed by measuring wound closure area. Inflammation and fibrogenesis are assessed by histological analysis and measurement of inflammatory markers. Re-epithelialization is assessed by immunohistochemistry. All animal procedures are conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of GP1a have been partially characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 441.35 and a molecular formula of C23H22Cl2N4O. Following topical or intraperitoneal administration, the compound shows moderate absorption with a Tmax of 0.5-2 hours. Plasma half-life is estimated to be 2-4 hours. The compound distributes into tissues including skin. Metabolism is primarily hepatic, with CYP450-mediated oxidation as a major pathway. The compound is eliminated primarily via biliary and renal excretion. Further PK studies are needed for comprehensive characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Preclinical toxicology studies of GP1a are limited. In acute toxicity studies in rodents, the compound is tolerated at doses up to 10 mg/kg with no significant adverse effects. In repeat-dose studies, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) has not been definitively established. No significant organ toxicity or hematological abnormalities are reported at pharmacological doses. The compound shows no evidence of genotoxicity in standard in vitro assays. The safety profile supports further preclinical development, though comprehensive toxicology studies are needed to fully assess the compound's safety for potential clinical advancement. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human use.
