pKi: 10.7 (MT1)[1]. pKi: 10.4 (MT2)[1]
MT1 and MT2 melatonin membrane receptors. UCM 608 is a high-affinity agonist at these receptors. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
A strong agonist of the melatonin membrane receptor is UCM 608. MT1 and MT2 had pKi values of 10.7 and 10.4, respectively [1].
UCM 608 (2-Phenylmelatonin) is a high-affinity melatonin receptor agonist with pKi values of 10.7 for MT1 and 10.4 for MT2 receptors. It is a strong agonist of the melatonin membrane receptor. The compound has been observed to demonstrate mixed antagonist/agonist activity in systems with differential expression of the receptor subtypes. It is a highly potent melatonin agonist that displays higher potency than melatonin itself in some assays. |
| ln Vivo |
No detailed in vivo activity data are publicly available for UCM 608. As a potent melatonin receptor agonist, its in vivo effects would be expected to be related to the physiological roles of melatonin, including regulation of circadian rhythms, sleep, and neuroprotection.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays are performed to determine the affinity of UCM 608 for MT1 and MT2 receptors. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the receptors are conducted. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand from each receptor is measured to calculate its pKi values.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using cells expressing recombinant MT1 or MT2 receptors. The cells are treated with UCM 608, and receptor activation is measured by assessing downstream signaling events such as inhibition of cAMP accumulation. The potency of the compound at each receptor is determined from these functional assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies would be conducted in animal models to evaluate the effects of UCM 608 on circadian rhythms, sleep, and other melatonin-mediated processes. The compound's effects on sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, and melatonin receptor-mediated behaviors could be assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No detailed pharmacokinetic data are publicly available for UCM 608. As a small molecule with high receptor affinity, its ADME properties would be characterized in standard preclinical studies to guide in vivo experiments.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for UCM 608. As a melatonin receptor agonist, its toxicity profile is expected to be related to its mechanism of action. Standard safety assessments would be required for any therapeutic development.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
