Product Description
TCS1105 is a benzodiazepine ligand with α2 subunit GABAA receptor agonist (activator) and α1 subunit GABAA receptor blocker (antagonist) effects. TCS1105 reduces anxiety-like behavior in mice. TCS1105 Enhances aggressive behavior and social dominance. TCS1105 prevents Sema3A-induced AGC collapse in a concentration-dependent fashion.
TCS-1105 (CAS 185391-33-7) is a GABAA benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) ligand. It has a molecular formula of C17H13FN2O2 and a molecular weight of 296.3. TCS-1105 acts as a functionally selective agonist at the α2-subunit containing GABAA receptors and as an antagonist at α1-subunit containing GABAA receptors. It is an anxiolytic agent lacking sedative activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TCS-1105 targets GABAA benzodiazepine receptors (BZR). It acts as an agonist at α2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors and an antagonist at α1 subunit-containing GABAA receptors. The compound has Ki values of 118 nM for the α2 receptor and 245 nM for the α1 receptor. This functional selectivity is responsible for its anxiolytic effects without sedation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, TCS-1105 acts as a ligand for GABAA benzodiazepine receptors. It shows binding affinity (Ki) of 118 nM for α2 receptors and 245 nM for α1 receptors. It also blocks Sema3A-induced axon growth cone collapse. The compound's in vitro activity is characterized by its differential modulation of GABAA receptor subtypes.
ln Vivo
In vivo, TCS-1105 reduces anxiety-like behavior in mice. It also enhances aggressive behavior and social dominance. Importantly, it is an anxiolytic agent that lacks sedative activity, which is a significant advantage over non-selective benzodiazepines. Its effects are mediated through its action at α2 and α1 GABAA receptors.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for TCS-1105 typically involve competitive binding studies using membranes from cells expressing specific GABAA receptor subtypes (α1, α2, etc.). Radiolabeled benzodiazepine ligands (e.g., 3H-flumazenil) are used, and the compound is tested at various concentrations to determine its affinity (Ki values) for the different subtypes.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for TCS-1105 are used to study its functional effects on GABAA receptors. Electrophysiological techniques, such as patch-clamp recordings, can be performed on cells expressing specific GABAA receptor subtypes to measure the chloride currents elicited by GABA in the presence and absence of the compound. This helps to confirm its agonist or antagonist activity at different receptor subtypes.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with TCS-1105 are typically conducted in mouse models to assess its behavioral effects. The compound is administered systemically, and tests such as the elevated plus maze, open field test, or light-dark box are used to evaluate anxiety-like behavior. Other behavioral tests may be used to assess aggression and social dominance.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of TCS-1105 are not extensively reported in the available literature. It has a molecular weight of 296.3 and is typically stored at room temperature. Specific parameters such as oral bioavailability, half-life, and tissue distribution are not detailed.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of TCS-1105 is not extensively reported. As a research compound, it is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use. Its lack of sedative activity suggests a potentially improved safety profile compared to non-selective benzodiazepines, but formal toxicity studies would be required for therapeutic development.
