In Vitro

Dersimelagon (0, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 pM; 3 days) increases eumelanin production in a concentration-dependent manner, with EC50 of 13 pM in B16F1 cells[1].

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

In Vivo

Dersimelagon (0.003, 0.03, 0.3, 3 mg/kg; p.o. for 6 days) induces coat colour darkening in Ay/a mice in 0.3 and 3 mg/kg[1].
Dersimelagon (0.03, 0.3, 3 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) upregulates the expression of Tyr, Trp1 and Dct of Ay/a mice at 24, 48 and 72 h in the 3 mg/kg[1].
Dersimelagon (1, 3, 10 mg/kg for 4 weeks and 30 mg/kg for 3 weeks; p.o.) induces pigmentation in a dose-dependent manner, and it is reverses after cessation of administration in cynomolgus monkeys[1].

Animal Model: Cynomolgus monkeys[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg
Administration: P.o.; 1, 3, 10 mg/kg for 4 weeks and 30 mg/kg for 3 weeks
Result: Induced pigmentation in a dose-dependent manner.
Minimum pigmentation effective dose was 1 mg/kg.
Pigmentation diminished 4 weeks after cessation of treatment in the 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg groups and 16 weeks after cessation in the 30 mg/kg group.

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 (3.70 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.

 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.

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.
