Description

IC₅₀ & Target

IC50: 30 nM (PACAP type I receptor), 600 nM (PACAP type II receptor VIP₁), 40 nM (PACAP type II receptor VIP₂)^[1]

In Vitro

An increase of dopamine (DA) content by HPLC analysis and/or cell proliferation identified by MTT assay by Dexamethasone (DEX) is also observed which can be inhibited by PACAP (6-38) at concentration sufficient to block PACAP type 1 (PAC1) receptor. Pretreatment with PAC1 receptor antagonist PACAP (6-38) at 0.1 or 1 μM for 2 h significantly blocks this increase of DA content by 1 μM DEX. The MTT assay shows that DEX increases cell proliferation. Moreover, this action is also inhibited by the pre-incubation of PACAP (6-38). PACAP (6-38) at 1μM shows no effect on DA content and cell proliferation for 24 h. However, PACAP (6-38) at 0.3 μM has been mentioned to reduce the spontaneous tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) accumulation in differentiated retinal cultured cells for 5 days^[2].

In Vivo

Intravesical administration of the PAC1 receptor antagonist, PACAP (6-38), significantly increases intercontraction interval (2.0-fold) and void volume (2.5-fold) in NGF-OE mice. Intravesical instillation of PACAP (6-38) also decreases baseline bladder pressure in NGF-OE mice. Intravesical administration of PACAP (6-38) (300 nM) significantly (p≤0.01) reduces pelvic sensitivity in NGF-OE mice but is without effect in WT mice^[3].

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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (0.60 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 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.
Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (0.60 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.

Cell Assay ^[2]	PC12 cells (5×10⁴ cells per well) are deposited in a 96-well flat-bottom culture plate. Cells are incubated with PACAP(6-38) (0.1 and 1.0 μM) for 2 h before the addition of Dexamethasone (DEX, 1 μM). Cells are harvested at 24 h later of treatment. At regular intervals after the additional treatments, 100 μL of 0.2 mg/mL MTT is added per each well, and cells are incubated for 3 h at 37°C. After incubation, the MTT reagent is discarded and 100 μL of DMSO is then added. The experiment is performed at room temperature for 20 min ^[2]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration ^[3]	Mice^[3] Two groups of mice are evaluated: WT mice receiving intravesical administration of vehicle (0.9% saline) and PACAP (6-38) (300 nM) (n=8) and NGF-OE mice receiving intravesical administration of vehicle (0.9% saline) and PACAP (6-38) (300 nM) (n=8). For intravesical administration of PACAP (6-38), mice are anesthetized with 2% isoflurane and PACAP (6-38) (<1.0 mL) is injected through the bladder catheter; the animals are maintained under anesthesia to prevent expulsion of PACAP (6-38) via a voiding reflex. In this procedure, PACAP (6-38) remains in the bladder for 30 min at which time, the drug is drained, the bladder washed with saline and animals recover from anesthesia for 20 min before experimentation^[3].
