| Targets |
Targets G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68, also known as OGR1) as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM). It demonstrates specificity for GPR68 over closely related proton GPCRs (such as GPR4, GPR65), neurotransmitter transporters, and the hERG ion channel. As a PAM, it is a tool to amplify and study GPR68-mediated signaling.

| ln Vitro |
5-HT2B has a moderate binding affinity to MS48107 (compound 71) with a Ki value of 219 nM. MS48107 exhibits mild antagonist activity at 5-HT2B receptors, with a Ki value of 310 nM, but no agonist activity at these receptors[1]. Compound 71, MS48107, has agonistic action exclusively at the MT1 and MT2 receptors. At the MT1 receptor, MS48107 has mild complete agonist activity (EC50 = 320 nM), while at the MT2 receptor, its partial agonist activity is weak (EC50 = 540 nM). has modest affinity for binding to the MT1 (5900 nM) and MT2 (1100 nM) receptors[1].
As a PAM, MS48107 itself does not activate GPR68 on its own. Instead, it binds to a site distinct from the orthosteric (agonist) site and increases the receptor‘s sensitivity and maximal response to acidic pH (protons). This allows researchers to potentiate GPR68 signaling in a more physiologically relevant, context-dependent manner, as the receptor is only active when pH is low. |
| ln Vivo |
A single intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 25 mg/kg for MS48107 (compound 71) causes high exposure levels (above 10 μM) in the brain and plasma within 0.5 hours in mice (Swiss Albino mice). For two hours, the high levels of compound exposure are sustained in the brain and plasma[1].
Detailed in vivo activity data for MS48107 is not publicly available. Because it is a PAM that works by amplifying responses to endogenous acidosis, it could be a powerful tool in animal models where tissue acidosis is a key feature (e.g., ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, cancer, and inflammatory pain) to determine if amplifying GPR68 signals is protective or damaging. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Since MS48107 is a PAM, traditional cell-free binding assays may not capture its allosteric mechanism. Its activity is defined by its ability to potentiate the response of GPR68 to a proton (agonist) challenge. This is measured using functional cellular assays (e.g., measuring inositol phosphate accumulation or calcium mobilization) rather than direct binding to membranes.
|
| Cell Assay |
The functional activity of MS48107 is assessed using cells that stably express GPR68 and the G protein Galphaq. Cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye and pre-incubated with varying concentrations of the PAM. They are then stimulated with a sub-maximal concentration of protons (e.g., a buffer of pH 6.8), and the resulting increase in fluorescence is measured. The enhancement of the calcium response compared to DMSO control is used to characterize the PAM activity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No specific animal studies for MS48107 are publicly available. A potential model would be a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for stroke. MS48107 could be administered systemically (IP or IV) to assess its ability to cross the BBB. Endpoints would include infarct volume, neurological deficit scores, and possibly the measurement of brain pH.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed PK data for MS48107 is not publicly available. It has been shown to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice, a key property for studying CNS-related functions of GPR68. Its molecular weight is 417.44, and it is formulated in solvents like DMSO and PEG300 for in vivo use.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data is publicly available for MS48107. As a highly selective PAM of GPR68 that is brain penetrant, its safety profile is not known. However, because it is a modulator and not a direct agonist, it is expected to have a better safety profile and lower risk of over-activation than a full agonist, making it an attractive tool for in vivo studies.

| Additional Infomation |
MS48107 is a research-grade chemical and is not approved for clinical use. It is a first-in-class tool compound for studying the role of the pH-sensing GPR68 receptor in the brain, where it has been implicated in memory, anxiety, and neuroinflammation, and in peripheral tissues, where it is involved in inflammation and pain.
