Product Description
MS15203 is a potent and specific GPR171 agonist. MS15203 increases food intake and body weight. MS15203 increases neuronal activity. MS15203 significantly increased the abundance of mRNA encoding proSAAS, NPY, and AgRP.
MS0015203 (CAS#: 73912-52-4), also known as MS15203, is a potent and selective small-molecule agonist of the neuropeptide receptor GPR171. GPR171 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) found in the central nervous system and is implicated in the regulation of feeding behavior, pain, and anxiety. MS0015203 exhibits strong affinity and efficacy in stimulating GPR171 signaling pathways, making it a valuable tool for studying the physiological roles of this receptor. This compound is used exclusively for research purposes and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MS0015203 specifically targets GPR171, a G protein-coupled receptor also known as the neuropeptide receptor. It acts as a potent and selective agonist, meaning it binds to and activates the receptor, mimicking the action of its endogenous ligands. By activating GPR171, MS0015203 modulates downstream signaling pathways that influence various physiological processes, including food intake, pain sensation, and neuronal activity.
ln Vitro
In rat hypothalamus membranes, MS15203 (MS0015203) decreases adenylyl cyclase activity and dose-dependently enhances [[35]S]GTPγS binding [1].
In vitro, MS0015203 demonstrates high potency as a GPR171 agonist. It shows strong binding affinity with an IC₅₀ of 81 nM for the wild-type GPR171. The compound effectively stimulates GPR171-mediated signaling pathways in cell-based assays. Its high selectivity for GPR171 over other receptors makes it a specific tool for probing the function of this particular neuropeptide receptor system. This activity translates to various biological effects observed in cellular and animal models, such as increased neuronal activity.
ln Vivo
GPR171-containing cells in the PVN exhibit enhanced neuronal activity in response to MS15203 (MS0015203) (3 mg/kg; i.p.) [1]. ..At 4 and 8 hours, MS15203 (3 mg/kg; i.p.) dramatically improves meal intake [1]. The intraperitoneal injection of MS15203 (3 mg/kg) dramatically raises the quantity of mRNA encoding proSAAS, NPY, and AgRP [1].
In vivo, MS0015203 has been shown to produce significant physiological effects in animal models. It increases food intake and body weight in mice, confirming the role of GPR171 in regulating appetite and energy balance. Furthermore, MS0015203 has been shown to increase the analgesic effect of morphine, suggesting a role for GPR171 in modulating pain pathways. It also reduces chronic neuropathic and inflammatory pain in male mice. These in vivo effects highlight the potential of GPR171 as a therapeutic target for conditions like chronic pain and eating disorders.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding and functional assays for MS0015203 are performed using cell lines engineered to express human GPR171. For binding assays, membranes from these cells are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand and varying concentrations of the compound. The amount of bound radioligand is measured to determine the compound's affinity (IC₅₀). Functional assays measure the activation of GPR171 by assessing downstream signaling, such as the accumulation of second messengers like cAMP or the recruitment of β-arrestin. The compound's potency (EC₅₀) and efficacy are determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays, cells expressing GPR171 are cultured in standard media. Cells are seeded in multi-well plates and treated with MS0015203 at various concentrations for a defined period. Following treatment, GPR171 activation is measured using assays that detect downstream signaling events. The effects of the compound on cell signaling pathways can be further analyzed using techniques like Western blotting to detect the phosphorylation of specific signaling proteins. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays. All experiments include appropriate vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies with MS0015203 are conducted in rodent models. The compound is typically administered via intraperitoneal (IP) or subcutaneous (SC) injection. For feeding studies, food intake and body weight are measured at various time points post-administration. For pain studies, the compound's ability to modulate pain sensitivity is assessed using behavioral tests like the hot plate test or the von Frey test. The effects on neuronal activity can be assessed by measuring the expression of immediate early genes like c-Fos in specific brain regions. All animal procedures must be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for MS0015203 are not extensively reported in public literature. As a small molecule with a molecular weight of 249.22, its properties are being studied. It is soluble in DMSO. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C. For in vivo administration, it is formulated in suitable vehicles. A comprehensive pharmacokinetic profile, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, is essential for interpreting its in vivo effects.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for MS0015203 are limited. As a research compound, its safety profile is not fully characterized. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption. Any potential toxicity would be related to its on-target effects on GPR171 signaling. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be necessary for any future therapeutic development.
