IC50: 9.74 μM (TREK-1/TREK-1), 16.5 μM (TWIK-1/TREK-1)[1]
The primary target of TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 is the TREK-1 potassium channel, a member of the two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channel family that plays a crucial role in maintaining resting membrane potential and regulating neuronal excitability. TREK-1 is an important target for antidepressant drug discovery. TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 inhibits TREK-1 homodimers and TWIK-1/TREK-1 heterodimers, which are formed by the association of TREK-1 with TWIK-1. By blocking these channels, the compound modulates potassium ion flow, influencing processes such as pain perception, mood regulation, and neuroprotection. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 is a potent inhibitor of TREK-1 channels, with activity against both TREK-1 homodimers and TWIK-1/TREK-1 heterodimers. The compound is typically used in electrophysiological studies to examine channel function and is a valuable tool for studying the role of TREK-1 in neuronal excitability and mood regulation. It exhibits antidepressant activity in preclinical models. TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 is soluble in DMSO at 20 mg/mL (53.7 mM) with sonication and is stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years.

| ln Vivo |
In vivo, TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 has potential applications in the study of depression due to its ability to inhibit TREK-1 channels. By modulating potassium ion flow and neuronal excitability, the compound may influence mood regulation and other neurological processes. However, detailed in vivo efficacy and safety data are not extensively reported in the available literature, and its use is primarily limited to preclinical research settings. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo effects and therapeutic potential.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 typically involve measuring its inhibition of TREK-1 channel activity using electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp recording in cell lines expressing recombinant TREK-1 channels. The compound is applied to the cells at varying concentrations (typically in the micromolar range), and the resulting inhibition of potassium current is measured. The IC50 value is determined by fitting concentration-response curves. The compound's selectivity for TREK-1 over other K2P channels can be assessed by testing it on cells expressing other channel subtypes.

| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 typically use cell lines expressing recombinant TREK-1 channels, such as CHO or HEK293 cells. The compound is applied to the cells, and its effects on channel activity are assessed using electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp recording. Fluorescent-based membrane potential assays using voltage-sensitive dyes can also be used for higher-throughput screening of channel activity. Cells are treated with TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 at various concentrations (e.g., 0.1-100 µM), and the changes in membrane potential are measured. The IC50 for channel inhibition is determined from the concentration-response data.

| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 would likely involve the administration of the compound to rodent models of depression or other neurological disorders. The compound could be administered via intraperitoneal injection or oral gavage, depending on its bioavailability. Endpoints would include behavioral tests for antidepressant-like activity (such as the forced swim test or tail suspension test), as well as measurements of neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter levels. However, specific in vivo study protocols for TWIK-1/TREK-1-IN-3 are not detailed in the available literature.
