Description

N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine is a Melatonin precursor, and that it can potently activate TrkB receptor.

IC50 & Target[1]

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

TrkB

 

In Vitro

N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (NAS), a precursor of Melatonin, is acetylated from serotonin by AANAT (arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase). N-acetylserotonin activates TrkB receptor in a circadian rhythm. N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine swiftly activates TrkB in a circadian manner and exhibits antidepressant effect in a TrkB-dependent manner. N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine rapidly activates TrkB, but not TrkA or TrkC, in a neurotrophin- and MT3 receptor-independent manner[1].

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

In Vivo

To explore whether N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, can trigger TrkB activation in vivo, TrkB F616A knockin mice are employed, where it has been shown that TrkB F616A activation can be selectively blocked by 1NMPP1, a derivative of kinase inhibitor PP1, leading to TrkB-null phenotypes. To assess whether N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine can mimic BDNF, cortical neurons from TrkB F616A knockin mice are prepared. In alignment with a previous report, BDNF- and NAS-mediated TrkB phosphorylation are selectively reduced by 1NMPP1 but not by K252a, whereas serotonin or Melatonin had no effect . These findings suggest that NAS strongly provokes both wild-type TrkB and TrkB F616A tyrosine phosphorylation and activation[1].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.45 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.53 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

Animal Administration

Mice[1]
Two-month-old TrkB F616A mice are pretreated with 1NMPP1 in drinking water (50 μM) 1 day before the experiment, followed by administration of N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) or Melatonin (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Mice are killed at 1 h. The brain homogenates are analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-p-TrkB. Two- to three-month-old BDNF forebrain conditional knockout mice are injected i.p. with N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine or Melatonin. Mice are killed at 0, 0.5, 1, or 2 h following drug administration. Brain lysates are prepared and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-phospho-TrkB Y816[1].

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.
