| Targets |
TC-MCH 7c primarily targets the melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCH1R), a G protein-coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, mood, and sleep. It acts as a potent antagonist with an IC50 of 5.6 nM against human MCH1R and Ki values of 3.4 nM (human) and 3.0 nM (mouse). By blocking MCH1R, TC-MCH 7c modulates MCH-mediated signaling. Its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier makes it suitable for central nervous system studies.

In [Ca2+]i mobilization, TC-MCH 7c has an IC50 of 9.7 μM against MCH1R [1]. TC-MCH 7c's IC50 values for hERG and FLIPR are 9.0 μM and 23 nM, respectively[2].
In vitro, TC-MCH 7c functions as a potent MCH1R antagonist with an IC50 of 5.6 nM in hMCH1R-expressing CHO cells. It has Ki values of 3.4 nM (human) and 3.0 nM (mouse). The compound has an IC50 of 23 nM for FLIPR (a calcium flux assay) and 9.0 μM for hERG (cardiac safety). Its activity is typically evaluated using receptor binding and functional assays in cells expressing MCH1R. The compound's selectivity for MCH1R over other receptors is assessed. |
| ln Vivo |
TC-MCH 7c (oral; 3-30 mg/kg; once daily for 1.5 months) displayed excellent body weight reduction in a dose-dependent manner in a DIO mice model [1]. The plasma concentrations of TC-MCH 7c (oral; 3-30 mg/kg) 30 mg/kg were 5.1, 1.8, and 0.7 μM at 2, 15, and 24 hours, respectively [2].
In vivo, TC-MCH 7c is orally active and brain-penetrant. It has been studied for its effects on feeding behavior and energy homeostasis in mouse models. The compound is administered orally at doses ranging from 3-30 mg/kg once daily. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier allows for direct assessment of MCH1R antagonism in the central nervous system. However, specific in vivo efficacy data are not extensively detailed in the available literature. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacological profile. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free assays for TC-MCH 7c involve evaluating its binding affinity to MCH1R. Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing human or mouse MCH1R. TC-MCH 7c is incubated with membranes and a radiolabeled MCH1R ligand. Competition binding experiments determine Ki values (3.4 nM human, 3.0 nM mouse). Selectivity is assessed by testing against other receptors. hERG binding assays are performed to assess cardiac safety potential (IC50 = 9.0 μM).

| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for TC-MCH 7c typically involve treating CHO cells expressing human MCH1R with various concentrations of the compound. Functional assays such as FLIPR (calcium flux) are used to measure receptor activity. IC50 values (5.6 nM for hMCH1R, 23 nM for FLIPR) are determined from dose-response curves. The compound's ability to block MCH1R-mediated signaling is assessed. Cytotoxicity is evaluated using standard cell viability assays. The compound is typically dissolved in DMSO and diluted in cell culture medium.

Doses: 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg (pharmacokinetic/PK/PK analysis) Route of Administration: Oral Experimental Results: Plasma concentrations at 2, 15 and 24 hrs (hrs (hours)) were 5.1, 1.8 and 24 hrs (hrs (hours)), respectively. 0.7 μM. In vivo animal studies for TC-MCH 7c are conducted in mouse models of obesity and metabolic disorders. The compound is administered orally at doses of 3-30 mg/kg once daily. Feeding behavior, body weight, and metabolic parameters are monitored. Brain penetration is confirmed by measuring drug concentrations in brain tissue using LC-MS/MS. Pharmacodynamic endpoints include assessment of MCH1R occupancy in brain regions using radioligand binding techniques. Efficacy is evaluated by comparing outcomes between treatment and control groups. |
