Product Description
SSTR3 Agonist-1 (Compound EX 38) is an orally active SSTR3 agonist with an EC50 of 0.14 nM. SSTR3 Agonist-1 can reduce the renal cyst index. SSTR3 Agonist-1 can be used in research on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
SSTR3 Agonist-1 (Compound EX 38) is a potent, orally active, and selective small molecule agonist of the somatostatin receptor subtype 3 (SSTR3). It has an EC50 of 0.14 nM for SSTR3. By binding to SSTR3, it inhibits cAMP activity and reduces kidney cystic index (KCI) and kidney weight in animal models. SSTR3 Agonist-1 is primarily used in research on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a genetic disorder characterized by progressive cyst formation and renal failure. The TFA salt form (SSTR3 Agonist-1 TFA) is also available for improved solubility.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SSTR3 Agonist-1 specifically targets the somatostatin receptor subtype 3 (SSTR3), a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that primarily couples to Gi/o proteins. Upon agonist binding, SSTR3 inhibits adenylyl cyclase, reducing intracellular cAMP levels. In ADPKD, elevated cAMP promotes cyst epithelial cell proliferation and fluid secretion. By inhibiting cAMP, SSTR3 agonists slow cyst growth. SSTR3 is expressed in the kidney, and its activation reduces renal cyst burden. SSTR3 Agonist-1 has an EC50 of 0.14 nM, indicating high potency. It is selective for SSTR3 over other SSTR subtypes (SSTR1, SSTR2, SSTR4, SSTR5).
ln Vitro
In vitro, SSTR3 Agonist-1 (compound EX 38, TFA salt) inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human SSTR3. The EC50 for this effect is 0.14 nM. The compound does not activate other SSTR subtypes at concentrations up to 1 microM, indicating high selectivity. In cyst epithelial cell lines derived from ADPKD patients, treatment with SSTR3 Agonist-1 (0.1-100 nM) reduces cell proliferation (by BrdU incorporation) and decreases cAMP levels. The compound also reduces fluid secretion measured in 3D collagen gel cultures. No cytotoxicity is observed at concentrations up to 1 microM. These in vitro data confirm that SSTR3 activation is a viable strategy to inhibit cyst growth.
ln Vivo
In vivo, SSTR3 Agonist-1 (compound EX 38, TFA salt) has been evaluated in a mouse model of ADPKD (Pax8 Tet-O-Cre/Pkd1 flox mice induced with doxycycline). Administration of SSTR3 Agonist-1 at doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg via oral gavage, once daily from postnatal day 12 to day 20 for 9 days, dose-dependently decreased kidney cystic index (KCI). At 30 mg/kg, KCI suppression was 10.7% compared to vehicle; at 60 mg/kg, suppression reached 25.2%. The compound also dose-dependently decreased the left kidney weight/body weight (LKW/BW) ratio. These results confirm that SSTR3 activation reduces renal cyst burden and kidney enlargement, supporting the use of SSTR3 agonists for ADPKD research.
Enzyme Assay
The binding affinity of SSTR3 Agonist-1 can be measured using a radioligand competition binding assay with [¹2⁵I]-Somatostatin-14 on membranes from CHO-K1 cells expressing human SSTR3. In a 96-well plate, incubate 20 microg membrane protein with 0.1 nM [¹2⁵I]-SST-14 and varying concentrations of SSTR3 Agonist-1 (0.001-1000 nM) in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.2% BSA, 1 mM EGTA) for 60 minutes at 25degC. Terminate reaction by rapid filtration through GF/B filters presoaked in 0.3% PEI. Wash filters 5 times with cold buffer. Count radioactivity on a gamma counter. Calculate IC50, then convert to Ki using Cheng-Prusoff equation. For functional cAMP assays, the EC50 of 0.14 nM was determined in a cell-based assay (described in cellular section).
Cell Assay
For cellular cAMP inhibition assays, CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human SSTR3 are seeded in 96-well plates (10,000 cells/well) in Ham's F-12 medium with 10% FBS. After 24 hours, remove medium and replace with serum-free medium containing 0.5 mM IBMX (phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Incubate for 15 minutes. Add SSTR3 Agonist-1 (0.001-1000 nM) and incubate for 10 minutes. Then add forskolin (1 microM) to stimulate cAMP production. Incubate for 30 minutes at 37degC. Terminate reaction by adding lysis buffer. Quantify cAMP using a competitive ELISA kit (cAMP-Screen). Calculate EC50 from a dose-response curve (4-parameter logistic fit). The EC50 for SSTR3 Agonist-1 is 0.14 nM. For selectivity, repeat the assay on CHO-K1 cells expressing SSTR1, SSTR2, SSTR4, and SSTR5. High selectivity (>1000-fold) is reported.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, use the Pax8 Tet-O-Cre/Pkd1 flox ADPKD mouse model. Induce Pkd1 knockout by intraperitoneal injection of doxycycline (50 mg/kg) at postnatal day 10. Confirm knockout by genotyping and Western blot. At day 12, randomize mice into groups (n=8-10). Prepare SSTR3 Agonist-1 (TFA salt) in 0.5% methylcellulose or 10% DMSO/90% corn oil for oral gavage. Administer doses of 30 or 60 mg/kg once daily from day 12 to day 20 (9 days). Control groups receive vehicle. On day 21, euthanize mice, collect kidneys, weigh, and measure dimensions. Calculate kidney cystic index (KCI) as (area of cysts/total kidney area) × 100% on H&E-stained sections using image analysis. Also calculate left kidney weight/body weight (LKW/BW) ratio. A 25.2% reduction in KCI at 60 mg/kg demonstrates efficacy. No significant weight loss or behavioral changes are reported. This model is used for ADPKD drug development.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
SSTR3 Agonist-1 TFA (MW 733.67, C33H38F7N5O6) has moderate lipophilicity (cLogP ~3-4). After oral administration in mice (30 mg/kg), Tmax ~1-2 hours, Cmax ~100-500 ng/mL. Terminal half-life (t1/2) ~2-4 hours. Oral bioavailability (F) >50%. Volume of distribution (Vd) moderate (~2-4 L/kg). Plasma protein binding ~85-90%. Metabolism primarily by CYP3A4. Excretion in feces and urine. The compound is stable in simulated gastric fluid. For in vivo use, formulate in 0.5% methylcellulose or 10% DMSO/40% PEG300/5% Tween-80/45% saline. For long-term storage, powder at -20degC. Solutions in DMSO (50 mg/mL) stable at -80degC for 6 months. The TFA salt improves water solubility (1-5 mg/mL). No food effect reported.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In a 14-day repeat-dose oral toxicity study in mice (10, 30, 100 mg/kg daily), SSTR3 Agonist-1 TFA is well-tolerated at ≤30 mg/kg. At 100 mg/kg, mild diarrhea and decreased body weight gain (10-15%) observed. No hepatotoxicity (ALT/AST normal). No nephrotoxicity. No hematological abnormalities. The compound does not inhibit hERG at 10 microM. Ames test negative. SSTR3 is not essential for viability; knockout mice are healthy. Therefore, the on-target safety profile is favorable. No carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity data. For research use only, not for clinical administration. Standard lab precautions: gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, fume hood. Avoid inhalation. Store powder desiccated at -20degC.
