Description

CU-115 is a potent TLR8 antagonist (IC50=1.04 µM), and shows selective for TLR8 over TLR7 (IC50=>50 µM). CU-115 decreases TNF-α and IL-1β production activated by R-848 in THP-1 cells[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

TLR8

1.04 μM (IC50)

TLR7

50 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

In endosomal and non-endosomal TLR specificity studies, Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells expressing human tolllike receptor (hTLR) gene and an inducible secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene were incubated with CU-115 for 16 hours. As a result, CU-115 displays activity for TLR7 and TLR8 at low concentrations (0.5 μM).
CU-115 does not modulate the NF-kB inhibition induced by Pam2CSK4, Pam3CSK4, Poly(I:C), LPS, R848, and Flic in HEK-293 TLR1/2, TLR2/6, TLR3, and TLR4 cells. And CU-115 inhibits TLR9 signaling at 1, 5, and 20 µM and ~10-25% inhibition.
CU-115 (5-20 µM) inhibits increases in type I IFN transcriptional activity induced by the ssRNA nucleic acid ligands 3p-hpRNA or G3-YSD in a luciferase reporter assay.
CU-115 (0.5, 1.0, 5, and 20 µM; 16 hours) is nontoxic at low concentrations (0.5 and 20 μM) and toxic at 100 μM in Hek293 TLR7 and TLR8 cells. CU-115 also is nontoxic at low concentrations (0.5 and 20 μM) and displays partial toxicity at 100 μM in THP Dual cells.
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is performed to measure upregulation/inhibition of TNF-α in human THP-1 cells (hTHP-1). CU-115 (5-20 µM) abolishes the TNF-α production activated by R848 (1 µg/ml) in hTHP1. It also represses the expression of IL-1β in hTHP-1 cells. These results suggest that CU-115 suppresses TLR8 and TLR7 signaling pathways.

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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.39 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.

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.
