DCP-LA (FR236924), a linoleic acid derivative, selectively and directly activates PKCε. DCP-LA activates Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and inhibits protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) to stimulate AMPA receptor exocytosis. DCP-LA inhibits activation of caspase-3/-9 and protects neurons at least in part from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

Description

DCP-LA (FR236924), a linoleic acid derivative, selectively and directly activates PKCε. DCP-LA activates Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and inhibits protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) to stimulate AMPA receptor exocytosis.

In Vitro

DCP-LA (100 nM; 15 min) activates cytosolic PKCε by binding to the phosphatidylserine binding/associating sites Arg50 and Ile89, without translocation towards the cell surface in PL-12 cells[1].
DCP-LA (10, 100, 100 nM; 10 min; 35 ℃) activates CaMKII and inhibits PP-1 in rat hippocampal neurons[2].
DCP-LA (100 nM; 20 min) increases expression of the receptors on the plasma membrane, responsible for potentiate AMPA receptor responses in rat hippocampal slices[2].
DCP-LA (100 nM; 10 min) results facilitation of hippocampal synaptic transmission[2].
DCP-LA (100 nM; 24 h) prevents the Sodium nitroprusside (SNP, HY-10219) effect and rescues neurons from SNP-induced degradation[3].
DCP-LA (100 nM; 12 h) abolishes the caspase-3/9 activation induced by (SNP, HY-10219) (1 mM)[3].

Cell Viability Assay[3]

Cell Line: Rat cerebral cortical neurons
Concentration: 100 nM
Incubation Time: 24 hours; accompanied with 1 mM Sodium nitroprusside (SNP)
Result: Prevented SNP-induced neuronal cell death.
In Vivo

DCP-LA (1 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 7 d) exhibits a protective effect against ischemic brain damage, decreasing cerebral cortical defect due to middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in mouse model[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in mouse model (male CB-17 mice, 5-8 weeks old)[3]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; once daily for 7 days; sacrificed mice on days 28
Result: Significantly diminished degraded area due to cerebral infarction, with the rescued area reaching 82%.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 0.5 mg/mL (1.62 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
