Description

PLX5622 is a highly selective brain penetrant and orally active CSF1R inhibitor (IC50=0.016 μM; Ki=5.9 nM). PLX5622 allows for extended and specific microglial cells elimination, preceding and during pathology development. PLX5622 demonstrates desirable PK properties in varies animals[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.016 µM (CSF1R); Ki: 5.9 nM (CSF1R)[1][2]

In Vitro

PLX5622 (1-20 μM; 3 days) effectively depletes microglia without affecting oligodendrocytes or astrocytes in cerebellar slices. PLX5622 (4 μM; 3 days) causes a 30-40% reduction in NG2+ or PDGFRα+ cells, and this increased to 90-95% at 20 μM. No reduction of NG2+ or PDGFRα+ OPCs is observed in slices exposed to 1 μM or 2 μM PLX5622 despite robust (~95%) depletion of the microglial cells[3].

In Vivo

Pharmacodynamics of PLX5622 in preclinical studies
PLX5622 (1200 ppm; chow; for 3 weeks or 3 days; adult C57/Bl6 wild type mice) leads to around 80% of microglia lost after 3 days of treatment and a 99% microglia loss after 3 weeks of treatment. PLX5622 (adult C57/Bl6 wild type mice aged 3 months; diet for 3 weeks) decreases microglia in cortex, striatum, cerebellum and hippocampus[4].
PLX5622 (50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once (neonatal rat) or twice (adult rat) a day; for a total of 14 days) depletes microglia by 80-90% within 3 days of treatment, which increases to > 90% by 7 days. After 14 days of PLX5622 treatment, microglia is depleted by > 96% in both neonates and adults while preserving baseline astrocyte quantity. (A single daily injection of 0.65% PLX5622 suspended in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide and 20% Kolliphor RH40 in 0.01?M PBS is sufficient for neonatal microglia depletion, adult depletion requires injections twice daily)[5].
PLX5622 (formulated in AIN-76A standard chow at 1200 mg/kg; for 28 days) leads to reduction in microglia throughout the CNS in 14-month-old 5xfAD mice[6].

Preparation of gavage dosing suspensions for PLX5622[1]
PLX5622 is dissolved in DMSO at a concentration that is 20x the final dosing solution. The compound stock is protected from light. A fresh stock is made each week.
The components of the diluent generally are prepared a day or more in advance because they take time to dissolve completely: a) 2% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC): 2.0 g powder was brought to 100 mL deionized water; b) 25% Polysorbate 80 (PS80): 25 g was brought to 100 mL deionized water. To make 100 mL diluent, add 25 mL of 2% HPMC stock (0.5% final) and 4 mL of 25% PS80 stock (1% final) to 71 mL deionized water to have final 100 mL. Final composition after mixing with compound: 0.5% HPMC, 1% PS80, 5% DMSO.
On each dosing day, the compound stock is diluted 20-fold as follows: 19 volumes of diluent are measured into the tube, and 1 volume of the 20x compound/DMSO stock is added. The cap is closed and the content of the tube is mixed by inversion and placed in a sonicating water bath to make a uniform suspension.

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.

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.
