Description

YM-264 is a selective, potent and orally active platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist with a pKi value of 8.85 for rabbit platelet membranes.

IC50 & Target

pKi: 8.85 (PAF, rabbit platelet membranes)[1].

In Vitro

The anti-platelet-activating factor effect of YM-264 is examined in vitro. YM-264 inhibits [3H] platelet-activating factor binding to rabbit platelet membranes with a pKivalue of 8.85. YM-264 inhibits the platelet-activating factor-induced human, rabbit and guinea-pig platelet aggregation with pA2 values of 8.68, 8.33 and 8.14, respectively[1].

In Vivo

There are no significant differences in baseline airway responsiveness between control and YM-264 treated groups. Airway hyperresponsiveness induced by antigen exposure is significantly inhibited by the administration of YM-264. The baseline Rrs is 0.40 (0.02) cm H2O/mL/s in the control group (n=6). In the YM-264 treated groups, the baseline Rrs is 0.39 (0.01) and 0.36 (0.01) cm H2O/mL/s at a doses of 1 mg/kg (n=5) and 3 mg/kg (n=6), respectively. The Rrs during the IAR significantly increase from baseline to 0.92 (0.10) cm H2O/mL/s in control (p=0.0002), 0.81 (0.12) in YM-264 1 mg/kg (p=0.01), and 1.06 (0.29) in YM-264 3 mg/kg (p=0.048). Reelevation of Rrs in the late phase is observed in the control group after antigen challenge. At this phase, Rrs significantly increase to 0.72 (0.10) cm H2O/mL/s (p=0.0101) from the baseline (0.40) at 6 h after the exposure of antigen. In contrast, YM-264 at the doses of 1 and 3 mg/kg show significant inhibition of reelevation of Rrs as compared with control. YM-264 inhibit the eosinophil infiltration dose dependently[2].

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 (4.62 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.62 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.

Animal Administration
[2]

Guine Pigs[2]
Male Hartley guinea pigs weighing approximately 300 g are sensitized. The animals are fixed in position with the nose and mouth directed toward the center of the cylinder. Ovalbumin (10 mg/mL) is administered daily for 10 min. On the ninth or tenth day, all of the animals exhibit asthmatic symptoms. Two booster inhalations of AO (10 mg/mL) are subsequently given to the guinea pigs for 5 min at weekly intervals. Forty-five animals are randomized into three experimental groups by the order of their capture from shipping crate. Each group is further divided into three subgroups for control, YM-264 (1 mg/kg) and YM-264 (3 mg/kg). One week after the second booster inhalation, 16 animals for AH experiment are randomly divided into three subgroups for control and YM-264 treatment (1 and 3 mg/kg), and they are exposed to aerosolized OA (10 mg/mL) for 5 min. A dose of 1 or 3 mg/kg of YM264 is administered orally 30 min before and again, 3 h after the exposure to OA. The control group receives 0.5% methylcellulose in the same volume as YM-264[2].

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.
