Product Description
LE135 is a potent RAR antagonist that selectively binds RARα (Ki of 1.4 μM) and RARβ (Ki of 220 nM), with higher affinity for RARβ. LE135 is selective for RARγ, RXRα, RXRβ and RXRγ. LE135 is also a potent activator of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors with EC50 of 2.5 μM and 20 μM, respectively.
LE135 is a potent retinoic acid receptor (RAR) antagonist that selectively binds to RARα with a Ki of 1.4 μM and RARβ with a Ki of 220 nM, showing higher affinity for RARβ. It is selective for RARα and RARβ over RARγ, RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ. The compound has a molecular weight of 438.57 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₉H₃₀N₂O₂. LE135 is also a potent activator of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors, with EC₅₀ values of 2.5 μM and 20 μM, respectively. It is widely used in cancer biology, developmental biology, and dermatology research to explore retinoid signaling mechanisms and receptor subtype specificity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
LE135 targets retinoic acid receptors (RARs), specifically RARα and RARβ, acting as a potent antagonist. It binds selectively to RARα (Ki = 1.4 μM) and RARβ (Ki = 220 nM), with higher affinity for RARβ. The compound is selective for RARα and RARβ over RARγ, RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ. LE135 also functions as a potent activator of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors, with EC₅₀ values of 2.5 μM and 20 μM, respectively. By antagonizing RARs, LE135 blocks retinoic acid-induced transactivation, making it a valuable tool for dissecting RARβ's distinct biological roles.
ln Vitro
LE135 suppresses the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL-60 caused by Am80 with an IC50 of 150 nM[1]. On several RA response elements, LE135 blocks retinoic acid (RA)-induced transactivation of RARβ but not that of RARα, RARγ, or retinoid X receptor α (RXRα). LE135 significantly suppresses 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced AP-1 activity when RARβ and RXRα are present [3].
In vitro, LE135 suppresses the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells caused by Am80 with an IC₅₀ of 150 nM. On several retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), LE135 blocks retinoic acid-induced transactivation of RARβ but not that of RARα, RARγ, or RXRα. The compound significantly suppresses 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced AP-1 activity when RARβ and RXRα are present. These in vitro activities confirm its role as a selective RARβ antagonist.
ln Vivo
LE135 produces thermal hyperalgesia and nociceptive responses mostly through TRPV1 channels; however, mechanical allodynia cannot be produced without TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels. In both wild-type and Trpa1−/− mice, an intraplantar injection of LE135 (30 nmol/10 μL) results in mechanical hypersensitivity [2].
In vivo, LE135 produces thermal hyperalgesia and nociceptive responses mostly through TRPV1 channels; however, mechanical allodynia requires both TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels. In both wild-type and Trpa1⁻/⁻ mice, an intraplantar injection of LE135 (30 nmol/10 μL) results in mechanical hypersensitivity. These in vivo activities confirm its role as a TRPV1 and TRPA1 activator in pain pathways. Detailed in vivo data on its RAR antagonism are not extensively reported.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based receptor binding assays for LE135 typically involve radioligand binding studies using purified RARα, RARβ, and RARγ proteins. The receptor is incubated with a radiolabeled retinoic acid ligand (e.g., [³H]-ATRA) and varying concentrations of LE135. Binding affinity (Ki) is determined by measuring displacement of the radiolabeled ligand. TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptor activation can be assessed using calcium flux assays in cell-free membrane preparations or using fluorescent calcium indicators.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for LE135 are performed using HL-60 cells to assess inhibition of Am80-induced differentiation. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and differentiation markers are measured. Reporter gene assays are used to assess RAR transactivation: cells are transfected with RAREs driving luciferase expression and treated with LE135 in the presence or absence of retinoic acid. TRPV1 and TRPA1 activation is assessed in cells expressing these channels by measuring intracellular calcium levels using fluorescence-based assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal models for LE135 include studies in wild-type and Trpa1⁻/⁻ mice to assess pain responses. The compound is administered via intraplantar injection at 30 nmol/10 μL. Thermal hyperalgesia, nociceptive responses, and mechanical allodynia are measured using standard pain behavior assays such as the hot plate test, von Frey filaments, and paw withdrawal thresholds. These studies confirm the compound's role in TRPV1 and TRPA1-mediated pain pathways.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
LE135 has a molecular weight of 438.57 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₉H₃₀N₂O₂. CAS number is 155877-83-1. The compound is a yellow to brown solid powder. Purity is ≥98%. It is soluble in DMSO. LogP is 7.36. Boiling point is 601.3°C. Storage conditions: powder at -20°C. The compound is supplied for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicological data for LE135 are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a research compound, its safety profile would need to be established through standard preclinical toxicity assessments. The compound is supplied for research use only and is not for human consumption. Given its activity as a TRPV1 and TRPA1 activator, potential effects on pain pathways and sensory neurons would be key safety considerations. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.
