| Targets |
VA-K-14 hydrochloride targets the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), a G protein-coupled receptor that is expressed on thyroid follicular cells and plays a critical role in regulating thyroid hormone production and thyroid gland growth. TSHR is the primary target of autoantibodies in Graves' disease, a condition characterized by hyperthyroidism caused by TSHR-stimulating antibodies. VA-K-14 HCl acts as a selective TSHR antagonist, binding to the receptor and inhibiting its activation by TSH and TSHR-stimulating antibodies. The compound has an IC50 of 12.3 μM. By blocking TSHR signaling, VA-K-14 HCl abrogates the downstream effects of TSHR activation, including cAMP production and thyroid hormone synthesis.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, VA-K-14 hydrochloride is a selective TSHR antagonist with an IC50 of 12.3 μM. It inhibits TSHR stimulation by serum and monoclonal TSHR-stimulating antibodies from patients with Graves' disease. The compound abrogates TSHR signaling. Its potency and selectivity for TSHR over other receptors have been characterized in cell-based assays using cells expressing TSHR.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, VA-K-14 hydrochloride has potential applications in the study of Graves' disease and other TSHR-mediated conditions. By blocking TSHR signaling, the compound may have therapeutic potential for hyperthyroidism and other disorders caused by TSHR activation. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cell) assays for VA-K-14 hydrochloride involve measuring its binding affinity to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). Radioligand binding assays using membrane preparations from cells expressing TSHR are performed with a radiolabeled TSHR ligand (e.g., [¹²⁵I]-TSH) and varying concentrations of VA-K-14 HCl. Binding affinity (IC50 or Ki) is determined by competitive displacement.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based experiments for VA-K-14 hydrochloride are conducted using cells expressing TSHR. Cells are treated with VA-K-14 HCl at varying concentrations and stimulated with TSH or TSHR-stimulating antibodies. cAMP accumulation is measured to assess TSHR signaling inhibition. The compound's ability to inhibit TSHR stimulation is quantified, and IC50 values are calculated from inhibition curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for VA-K-14 hydrochloride are performed in animal models of Graves' disease or other TSHR-mediated conditions. The compound is administered, and thyroid hormone levels, TSHR signaling, and disease severity are assessed. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
VA-K-14 hydrochloride is a small molecule (MW 341.86, formula C18H16ClN3S) with suitable physicochemical properties for research use. The compound is soluble in DMSO (50 mg/mL). Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are limited in available literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicology data for VA-K-14 hydrochloride are limited. The compound is supplied for laboratory research use only. As a TSHR antagonist, potential effects on thyroid function and hormone homeostasis should be considered.
