| Targets |
RLX-33 targets the relaxin family peptide 3 receptor (RXFP3), a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the effects of the neuropeptide relaxin-3. By blocking RXFP3, RLX-33 prevents relaxin-3-induced signaling, including the downstream phosphorylation of ERK1 and ERK2. The compound's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it valuable for studying the role of the relaxin-3/RXFP3 system in the central nervous system.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, RLX-33 is a potent antagonist of RXFP3 with an IC50 of 2.36 µM. It also blocks relaxin-3-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation with IC50 values of 7.82 µM and 13.86 µM for ERK1 and ERK2, respectively. These data demonstrate its activity in blocking RXFP3-mediated signaling pathways.
|
| ln Vivo |
RLX-33 (10 mg/kg; IP, single dose) attenuates the increase in food intake elicited by the RXFP3 selective agonist R3/I5 in male Wistar rats [1]. RLX-33 (10 mg/kg; IP, single dose) displays strong brain penetration and high protein binding in rat plasma [1]. Pharmacokinetic characteristics of RLX-33 in male Wistar rats (IP, 10 mg/kg) [1]. Brain plasma Cmax (ng/mL) 1401 1552 tmax (h) 0.5 2.0 t1/2 (h) 1.9 4.9 AUCinf (ng/mL·h) 5352 12519 CL_F (mL/min/kg) 43.8
In vivo, RLX-33 can block the stimulation of food intake induced by the RXFP3-selective agonist R3/I5 in rats. This demonstrates its functional activity in vivo and supports its potential for research into metabolic syndrome and feeding behavior. The compound's BBB penetrance enables central nervous system activity. |
| Enzyme Assay |
A cell-free assay for RLX-33 would involve measuring its binding affinity to RXFP3 using radioligand binding assays with membrane preparations expressing the receptor. The compound's ability to displace a labeled RXFP3 ligand would be measured. Alternatively, its inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation could be assessed in cell-free kinase assays. Specific protocols are not detailed.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for RLX-33 would typically involve measuring its effects on RXFP3-mediated signaling. Cells expressing RXFP3 are stimulated with relaxin-3, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation is measured. RLX-33 is added at varying concentrations to determine its IC50 for inhibiting ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These assays confirm the compound's activity in blocking RXFP3 signaling.

*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.
