Product Description
TC-2559 difumarate is a CNS-selective, orally bioactive partial agonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α4β2 subtype. TC-2559 difumarate displays selectivity for α2β4, α4β4 and α3β4 receptors with EC50 in the range of 10-30 µM.
TC‑2559 is a selective agonist of alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, specifically the high‑sensitivity (HS) subtype. It is a partial agonist with lower intrinsic efficacy compared to nicotine. TC‑2559 is used in research to study addiction, reward pathways, and neuroprotection without the full activating effects of nicotine.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
alpha4beta2 nAChR (high‑sensitivity subtype). Ki ~ 5‑10 nM. Selectivity over alpha7 and alpha3beta4 is >100‑fold. Also binds to alpha4beta2 low‑sensitivity and alpha6beta2* subtypes with lower affinity. Partial agonist with ~40‑60% efficacy relative to nicotine.
ln Vitro
Partial agonist at alpha4beta2 HS nAChRs in vitro (⁸⁶Rb+ efflux, EC50 ~ 30 nM, efficacy 50% of nicotine). It does not fully activate the receptor, leading to reduced desensitization compared to full agonists. In striatal synaptosomes, it stimulates dopamine release with lower maximal effect than nicotine, which may reduce addictive potential.
ln Vivo
The dose-dependent reduction of acute formalin-induced biphasic nociceptive responses in mice is achieved by TC-2559 difumarate (1–10 mg/kg; ip)[2]. Rats' CCI-induced neuropathic pain is dose-dependently inhibited by TC-2559 difumarate (0.3–3 mg/kg; ip)[2].
In vivo, TC‑2559 attenuates nicotine self‑administration in rats (0.3‑1 mg/kg s.c.) without producing significant reinforcement itself, suggesting potential as a smoking cessation aid. It also shows neuroprotective effects in MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease (1 mg/kg i.p.). It does not produce conditioned place preference, indicating low abuse liability.
Enzyme Assay
Use rat cerebral cortical membranes (alpha4beta2 HS). Incubate with 1 nM [3H]‑cytisine and TC‑2559 (0.01 nM‑10 microM) in 50 mM Tris‑HCl pH 7.4 with 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2 for 90 min at RT. Non‑specific: 10 microM nicotine. Filter through GF/B (0.5% PEI), wash 3×, count. Ki from Cheng‑Prusoff. For functional binding, use [3H]‑epibatidine.
Cell Assay
Use K177 cells expressing human alpha4beta2 nAChR. Seed in 24‑well plates (100,000/well) in DMEM/10% FBS for 48 h. Load with 1 microCi/mL ⁸⁶Rb+ for 90 min at 37degC. Wash 3×, incubate with TC‑2559 (1 nM‑100 microM) in assay buffer for 5 min. Collect supernatant, lyse cells with 1% SDS, count by Cherenkov. Calculate efflux % and fit to obtain EC50 and Emax relative to 10 microM nicotine.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male mice (body weight 15-30 g) (formalin test)[2]
Doses: 1, 3, 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip
Experimental Results: Dose dependently decreased both early and late phases of formalin induced nociceptive behavioral responses.

Animal/Disease Models: Adult male SD rats (body weight 200-220 g) (chronic constriction injury (CCI))[2]
Doses: 0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip
Experimental Results: Dramatically reversed CCI induced the paw withdrawal threshold decreases.
Male Sprague‑Dawley rats (250‑300 g) for nicotine self‑administration. Implant i.v. catheters. After recovery, train rats to lever press for nicotine (0.03 mg/kg/infusion) on FR5 schedule. Once stable, substitute TC‑2559 (0.03‑0.3 mg/kg/infusion) and measure number of infusions. To test attenuation, pre‑treat with TC‑2559 (0.3‑1 mg/kg s.c.) 30 min before session and measure nicotine self‑administration. Also test in MPTP mouse model: C57BL/6 mice receive MPTP (20 mg/kg i.p. 4× in 2 h); TC‑2559 (1 mg/kg i.p.) given daily for 7 days; then measure striatal dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
TC‑2559 is readily absorbed after s.c. injection (bioavailability ~70%). t½ in rats ~1‑2 h. Brain concentrations reach ~50% of plasma levels. Primary metabolism via N‑oxidation and hydroxylation by CYP2B6 and CYP2D6. Renal excretion of metabolites. No active metabolites reported. Oral bioavailability lower (~20‑30%).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Low toxicity in rodent studies. At therapeutic doses (0.3‑1 mg/kg), no seizures or significant cardiovascular effects. At high doses (>10 mg/kg), mild hypothermia and reduced locomotor activity observed. No mutagenicity. TC‑2559 does not produce emesis in ferrets (unlike nicotine), indicating reduced off‑target effects. Not approved for human use.

*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.
