Product Description
Adhesamine diTFA is a dumbbell-shaped molecule that activates the MAPK/FAK pathway. Adhesamine promotes the adhesion and growth of mammalian cells, and also accelerates the differentiation and survival of primary cultured mouse hippocampal neurons.
Adhesamine diTFA (CAS 1201698-09-0) is a dumbbell-shaped, synthetic small molecule with a molecular weight of 877.79 g/mol. It appears as a solid powder and is a structural molecule that activates the MAPK/FAK signaling pathway. This compound is a research chemical used to promote cell adhesion, growth, differentiation, and survival in various cell culture systems, including primary cultured mouse hippocampal neurons.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Adhesamine diTFA targets the FAK (Focal Adhesion Kinase) and MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathways. It is a small molecule that mimics the function of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as laminin, by directly interacting with cell surface integrins or by bypassing them to activate intracellular kinases. Activation of FAK leads to downstream activation of the MAPK/ERK cascade, which regulates gene expression for cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
ln Vitro
Adhesamine diTFA enhances cellular adhesion and growth in standard cell cultures, such as fibroblasts or epithelial cells. In primary cultures, a major challenge is low neuronal survival and differentiation. Adhesamine diTFA has been shown to significantly accelerate the differentiation of primary cultured mouse hippocampal neurons, increasing the length and complexity of their dendritic arborization. It also enhances the survival rate of these neurons, reducing the need for complex feeder layers or serum in the culture medium.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo activity data for Adhesamine diTFA is not provided. However, due to its ability to promote neuronal adhesion and survival in vitro, it could be used in a spinal cord injury (SCI) mouse model. A hydrogel scaffold infused with Adhesamine diTFA could be implanted at the lesion site. This would aim to improve graft-host integration, promote axonal outgrowth of transplanted neural stem cells, and reduce the cavity size. Such a scaffold would leverage the FAK/MAPK activation properties of the compound to enhance tissue regeneration.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. Adhesamine diTFA does not inhibit an enzyme; it acts as a cell-permeable signaling molecule. Its activity is measured in cell-based assays, not in cell-free systems. However, its purity and identity are verified by standard analytical chemistry methods such as NMR and HPLC.
Cell Assay
The effect of Adhesamine diTFA on cell adhesion and neuronal differentiation can be assessed using primary mouse hippocampal neurons. Procedure: Isolate hippocampi from embryonic day 18 (E18) mouse embryos. Dissociate cells and seed them at a density of 1x104 cells/well in poly-lysine-coated 24-well plates. Adhesamine diTFA is dissolved in water (or DMSO) and added to the culture medium at final concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, and 10 uM. After 3-5 days in culture (Neurobasal medium + B27 supplement), fix cells with 4% paraformaldehyde. Stain cells with anti-Tuj1 (neuronal marker) and DAPI. Image cells using a high-content imager. Analyze neurite outgrowth (total neurite length per neuron) and survival (number of Tuj1+ cells per field). A significant increase in neurite length and cell counts indicates activity.
Animal Protocol
Adhesamine diTFA can be evaluated in a mouse model of nerve crush injury. Procedure: 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice undergo sciatic nerve crush surgery under anesthesia. A silicone tube (nerve guidance conduit) is filled with a hydrogel containing Adhesamine diTFA (1 mg/mL) or PBS alone (control) and placed around the crush site. Animals are randomized (n=10/group). After 4 weeks, evaluate functional recovery using the sciatic function index (SFI) test. At endpoint, harvest the nerve segments and perform histological analysis (toluidine blue staining) to count the number of myelinated axons. An improvement in SFI scores and increased axon count in the treated group indicates in vivo efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The compound is a small molecule (MW 877.79) and is expected to have poor oral bioavailability due to its size and polar groups. For in vitro use, it is water-soluble, forming a clear solution at concentrations up to 10 mM (confirmed by injection). For in vivo applications, it would likely be formulated in saline or encapsulated in a hydrogel for local delivery. Its systemic half-life is unknown, but its primary research use is in culture media or local implants, not systemic administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for Adhesamine diTFA is not available. In cell culture studies, it is non-toxic at effective concentrations (1-10 uM). Standard safety precautions for handling chemical powders apply; it should be handled in a fume hood with gloves and safety glasses. The TFA salt form may be corrosive, but the compound is not intended for human consumption.

Additional Infomation
Adhesamine diTFA is a useful tool for neurobiology research. Neurons are notoriously difficult to culture because they require specific extracellular matrix (ECM) signals to survive and grow. Adhesamine is a small molecule alternative to traditional ECM coatings like poly-L-lysine or laminin. Its dumbbell-shaped structure is optimized for interacting with signaling molecules to turn on the FAK/MAPK pathway, which drives growth and survival. This product is for research use only and has not been approved for clinical use.
