Target: RARγ (binding Ki = 1.1 ± 0.3 nM; functional Kb = 7.1 ± 4.9 nM, max inhibition >100% in cell-based co-transfection assay)
RARα (binding Ki >1700 nM; functional Kb >4440 nM) RARβ (binding Ki >2980 nM; functional Kb = 1510 nM) [1] LY-2955303 targets retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARγ), a nuclear receptor that regulates gene expression in response to retinoic acid. It acts as a potent and selective antagonist of RARγ with a Ki of 1.09 nM. The compound has high selectivity for RARγ over RARα (Ki >1.70 µM) and RARβ (Ki >2.98 µM). By antagonizing RARγ, LY-2955303 modulates the expression of genes involved in pain, inflammation, and mood regulation. The compound's mechanism positions it as a candidate for addressing pain, mood disorders, and inflammation by supporting elevated levels of endogenous cannabinoids. LY-2955303 is being investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for osteoarthritis pain. |

| ln Vitro |
In tests, it was found that LY2955303 bound RARα, RARβ, and RARγ with Ki values of >1700, >2980, and 1.09 nM, respectively. RARγ has a functioning Ki of 7.1±4.9 nM[1].
In Vitro: LY2955303 demonstrated high binding affinity and selectivity for RARγ over RARα and RARβ. Binding Ki values: RARγ = 1.1 ± 0.3 nM, RARα >1700 nM (selectivity >1560-fold), RARβ >2980 nM (selectivity >2744-fold). [1] In a cellular co-transfection functional assay using HEK293 cells, LY2955303 acted as a potent RARγ antagonist with Kb = 7.1 ± 4.9 nM and maximum inhibition >100%. For RARα, Kb >4440 nM; for RARβ, Kb = 1510 nM. [1] As a zwitterion, LY2955303 showed dramatically improved solubility >1.0 mg/mL in simulated intestinal fluid. [1] In vitro studies have demonstrated that LY-2955303 is a potent and selective antagonist of RARγ. It has a Ki of 1.09 nM for RARγ and is highly selective over RARα (Ki >1.70 µM) and RARβ (Ki >2.98 µM). The compound effectively inhibits RARγ-mediated signaling without affecting RARα or RARβ pathways. These in vitro findings confirm the compound's potency and selectivity for RARγ. The compound's ability to antagonize RARγ has been demonstrated in various cell-based assays, including reporter gene assays and gene expression analysis. LY-2955303 is a valuable tool for studying the role of RARγ in pain, inflammation, and mood regulation. |
| ln Vivo |
A dose-response impact was demonstrated by the single-shot barrier LY2955303, and the weight-bearing variance (ED50=0.72 mg/kg) was decreased by the trap [1].
In Vivo: In the rat mono-iodoacetate (MIA) model of osteoarthritis-like joint pain, a single oral dose of LY2955303 produced a dose-responsive reduction in differential weight bearing (a measure of joint pain), with an ED50 of 0.72 mg/kg. The maximal analgesic response was similar to that of other analgesics. [1] In a 14-day toxicology study in rats, LY2955303 showed no adverse testicular effects at 10 mg/kg (margin of exposure 59-fold over the efficacious exposure at ED50), while testicular degeneration was observed at 30 mg/kg (margin of exposure 239-fold). [1] In vivo studies on LY-2955303 are limited, but the compound is being investigated for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain. Its mechanism positions it as a candidate for addressing pain, mood disorders, and inflammation by supporting elevated levels of endogenous cannabinoids. As a RARγ antagonist, LY-2955303 has the potential to modulate pain pathways and reduce inflammation in vivo. However, specific in vivo data for LY-2955303, including efficacy in animal models of pain and pharmacokinetic parameters, are not extensively documented in publicly available sources. Research-grade LY-2955303 is intended for laboratory use only. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo efficacy and safety profile. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular binding assays for LY-2955303 typically involve measuring its affinity for retinoic acid receptors (RARα, RARβ, RARγ) using radioligand binding or fluorescence polarization techniques. The compound is tested at various concentrations in the presence of a labeled reference ligand to determine its Ki values for each receptor. Assays are performed in buffer systems at physiological pH and temperature, with incubation times optimized for equilibrium binding. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of excess unlabeled ligand. Ki values are calculated using competitive binding curves and the Cheng-Prusoff equation. These assays are essential for characterizing the potency and selectivity of LY-2955303 for RARγ over RARα and RARβ.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Assay: Functional antagonist activity was determined using human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells transiently transfected with a hybrid GAL4 DNA binding domain (DBD) fused to the RARγ, RARα, or RARβ ligand binding domain (LBD) downstream of an SV40 promoter, and a reporter plasmid containing 5× GAL4 response element upstream of a firefly luciferase gene. Antagonist activity was measured in the presence of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) at the corresponding EC80 concentrations (15 nM for RARα and RARγ, 10 nM for RARβ). Percent inhibition was calculated based on the response obtained in the presence (baseline) and absence (100% inhibition) of ATRA alone. IC50 was calculated using a 4-parameter logistic fit, and an apparent Kb was calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation with the EC50 of ATRA determined within each assay. All reported data derived from at least 3 replicates. [1]
In vitro cell-based assays for LY-2955303 typically use cell lines expressing retinoic acid receptors, such as HEK-293 or COS-7 cells transfected with RARα, RARβ, or RARγ. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with LY-2955303 at various concentrations in the presence or absence of retinoic acid. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring the expression of reporter genes (e.g., luciferase) under the control of retinoic acid response elements (RAREs). The compound's antagonist activity is measured by its ability to inhibit retinoic acid-induced reporter gene expression. Cytotoxicity is assessed using MTT or similar assays to ensure that the observed effects are not due to cell death. LY-2955303 is typically dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium, with appropriate controls included. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal Protocol: Rat mono-iodoacetate (MIA) model of osteoarthritis-like joint pain: A single intra-articular injection of MIA into a hind limb joint was performed. At nine days post-injection, differential weight bearing between contralateral and ipsilateral limbs was approximately 22 g. On the same day, a single oral dose of LY2955303 was administered to evaluate dose-responsive analgesic effect (ED50 = 0.72 mg/kg). [1]
Rat pharmacokinetic study: Oral administration of LY2955303 at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg showed proportional increases in Cmax and AUC, with no accumulation upon chronic dosing up to 14 days. [1] Rat 14-day toxicology study: LY2955303 was administered orally to assess testicular adverse effects. Doses evaluated included 0.72 mg/kg (ED50), 10 mg/kg (no adverse effect level), and 30 mg/kg (testicular degeneration observed). [1] In vivo animal studies for LY-2955303 would typically involve rodent models of pain, such as osteoarthritis or inflammatory pain models, to evaluate the compound's analgesic efficacy. Animals would be administered LY-2955303 at various doses, typically orally or intraperitoneally. Pain behaviors, such as paw withdrawal threshold or weight bearing, would be assessed. However, specific published in vivo data for LY-2955303 are not extensively documented. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying RARγ biology and as a lead compound for the development of RARγ-targeted therapies for pain and inflammation. Further studies are needed to validate its in vivo efficacy. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
ADME/Pharmacokinetics: Oral bioavailability of LY2955303 in rats was 26% (determined from 2 mg/kg IV and 10 mg/kg PO). [1]
In rats, oral administration at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg resulted in proportional increases in Cmax and AUC, with no accumulation upon chronic dosing up to 14 days. [1] Solubility in simulated intestinal fluid was >1.0 mg/mL due to the compound being a zwitterion. [1] Pharmacokinetic data for LY-2955303 are limited in publicly available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 578.74 g/mol and a molecular formula of C36H42N4O3. As a small molecule, LY-2955303 is expected to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed to tissues. However, detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability have not been extensively reported. The compound's solubility and stability are important factors for its use in in vitro and in vivo studies. Research-grade LY-2955303 is intended for laboratory use only. Further pharmacokinetic studies are needed to fully characterize the compound's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics: In a 14-day toxicology study in rats, LY2955303 showed no adverse testicular effects at an oral dose of 10 mg/kg (margin of exposure 59-fold over exposure at the efficacious ED50 of 0.72 mg/kg, where exposure AUC was 154 ng·h/mL at ED50 and 9100 ng·h/mL at 10 mg/kg). Testicular degeneration was observed at 30 mg/kg (exposure AUC = 36,800 ng·h/mL; margin of exposure 239-fold). [1]
Toxicological data for LY-2955303 are limited. As a research compound, LY-2955303 is intended for laboratory use only and is not for human consumption. Standard toxicological assessments, including acute and chronic toxicity studies, would be required for clinical development. However, these data are not publicly available. In vitro studies suggest that LY-2955303 can be used at concentrations that effectively antagonize RARγ without causing significant cytotoxicity. The compound's safety profile in vivo has not been extensively characterized. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling LY-2955303. |

| Additional Infomation |
Additional Info: Retinoic acid receptors (RARα, β, γ) are nuclear receptors that act as ligand-activated transcription factors. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the natural RAR ligand, is deleterious to articular cartilage and associated with cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis. RAR antagonists may prevent or reverse retinoid-mediated cartilage destruction and mitigate OA pain. [1]
Previous pan-RAR antagonist BMS-189453 showed efficacy in rodent joint pain models but caused unacceptable testicular adverse effects at doses as low as 2 mg/kg in rats. Genetic studies indicated testicular degeneration in RARα knockout mice but not RARγ knockout mice, supporting the hypothesis that selective RARγ antagonism could avoid testicular toxicity. LY2955303 was designed to achieve >1000-fold selectivity for RARγ over RARα and RARβ, and it demonstrated efficacy in the MIA model at exposures significantly lower than those causing testicular toxicity, consistent with an improved safety profile. [1] LY-2955303 is a potent and selective retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARγ) antagonist. It has the molecular formula C36H42N4O3 and CAS number 1433497-19-8. LY-2955303 has a Ki of 1.09 nM for RARγ and is highly selective over RARα (Ki >1.70 µM) and RARβ (Ki >2.98 µM). The compound is being investigated for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain. Its mechanism supports elevated levels of endogenous cannabinoids. LY-2955303 is not approved for clinical use and is strictly a research compound. |
