| Targets |
ZCZ011 targets the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor involved in pain modulation, appetite regulation, and other physiological processes. As a positive allosteric modulator (PAM), it binds to a site distinct from the orthosteric (agonist) binding site and enhances the effects of endogenous cannabinoids like anandamide and exogenous agonists like CP55,940.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, ZCZ011 potentiates the binding of the CB1 orthosteric agonist CP55,940 with a pEC50 value of 6.90. It enhances anandamide (AEA)-stimulated GTPγS binding in mouse brain membranes. Additionally, ZCZ011 increases β-arrestin recruitment and ERK phosphorylation in hCB1 cells.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, ZCZ011 reduces neuropathic pain in mice with no psychoactive effects. Its brain-penetrant properties allow it to exert central effects, making it a valuable tool for studying the role of CB1 receptors in pain and other neurological conditions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays for ZCZ011 involve measuring its ability to enhance the binding of radiolabeled agonists (such as [³H]-CP55,940) to CB1 receptors in cell membrane preparations. The compound's positive allosteric modulation is assessed by measuring its effect on GTPγS binding, which reflects G protein activation. These assays quantify the compound's potency and efficacy as a CB1 PAM.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ZCZ011 are performed using cells expressing human CB1 receptors (hCB1 cells). Cells are treated with the compound, and β-arrestin recruitment is measured using BRET or other assays. ERK phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting or phospho-ERK ELISA. These assays provide functional evidence of the compound's PAM activity at the CB1 receptor.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for ZCZ011 are conducted in mouse models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. A typical protocol involves administration of the compound (e.g., via intraperitoneal or oral routes) to mice with induced neuropathic pain, followed by assessment of pain-related behaviors such as mechanical allodynia or thermal hyperalgesia. The compound's lack of psychoactive effects is also evaluated in behavioral assays.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of ZCZ011 have been characterized in preclinical studies. It is a brain-penetrant compound, indicating good blood-brain barrier permeability.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
