  3. AM6545

AM6545 is a highly selective, brain-free (peripherally active) CB1 receptor antagonist (Ki=1.7 nM). AM6545 inhibits endocannabinoid signaling by competitively antagonizing CB1 receptors, inhibiting CB1-mediated appetite stimulation and inflammatory responses without affecting cAMP levels. AM6545 significantly reduces food intake and body weight in mice, while improving metabolic syndrome-related renal impairment (such as proteinuria, fibrosis) and insulin resistance. AM6545 can be used in the study of obesity and its complications.

Description

AM6545 is a highly selective, brain-free (peripherally active) CB1 receptor antagonist (Ki=1.7 nM). AM6545 inhibits endocannabinoid signaling by competitively antagonizing CB1 receptors, inhibiting CB1-mediated appetite stimulation and inflammatory responses without affecting cAMP levels. AM6545 significantly reduces food intake and body weight in mice, while improving metabolic syndrome-related renal impairment (such as proteinuria, fibrosis) and insulin resistance. AM6545 can be used in the study of obesity and its complications[1][2][3].

In Vitro

AM6545 (3 μM; cAMP assay) does not affect forskolin (HY-15371)-induced cAMP levels in HEK293 cells, exhibiting neutral antagonist properties[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HEK293 (hCB1/hCB2-transfected)
Concentration: 1.7 nM (CB1 binding), 3 mM (cAMP assay)
Incubation Time:
Result: Showed high CB1 affinity (Ki=1.7 nM) and no effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in hCB1-expressing cells, acting as a neutral antagonist.
In Vivo

AM6545 (5-20 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily; 7 days or single dose) reduces food intake and sustaines body weight in Sprague Dawley rats at 10 and 20 mg/kg when treated chronically or acutely[1].
AM6545 (10 mg/kg; ip; single dose) treatment of C57BL/6 J mice specifically induces PKA signaling activation in adipose tissue and upregulated Akt-mTOR and ERK phosphorylation levels[2].

AM6545 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily; 4 weeks) significantly improves renal function, inhibited proteinuria, uric acid excretion and renal fibrosis in a rat model of metabolic syndrome[3].

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

Animal Model: Sprague Dawley rats (male, 250-275 g; normal/high-fat diet models)[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg (4% DMSO, 1% Tween 80 in saline)
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 7 days or single dose.
Result: Reduced food intake (30% inhibition at 3 h) and body weight gain (days 4-7) at 10 mg/kg dose, without inducing conditioned taste avoidance or gaping.
Animal Model: Metabolic syndrome rats (male, Wistar; high-fructose/high-salt diet-induced)[3]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg (0.5% carboxymethylcellulose)
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 4 weeks
Result: Reduced proteinuria (50%) and urinary uric acid (attenuated 10-fold increase), alleviated glomerular hypertrophy, tubular injury, and collagen deposition, and suppressed renal TGFβ1 expression.
Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice (male, 18.5-21.0 g; normal diet)[2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg (4% DMSO, 10% Tween 80, 80-95% saline)
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, single.
Result: Significantly modified p-PKA substrates in adipose and liver tissue, but the responsive substrates are tissue-specific and remain to be determined
Upregulated ERK1 phosphorylation at Thr202 in WAT, liver, TA.
Upregulated p-Akt(Ser473) and p-mTOR(Ser2448) in liver.

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 (4.49 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.49 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.

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.
