Description

TGN-020 is a selective Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) inhibitor with an IC50 of 3.1 μM[1][2]. TGN-020 is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[3].TGN-020 alleviates edema and inhibits glial scar formation after spinal cord compression injury in rats[4].

IC50 & Target

Alkyl-Chain

 

In Vitro

PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins[3].

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

In Vivo

TGN-020 (0.02 mg/μL; two microliter intravitreal injections) can suppress retinal edema in STZ-induced diabetic rats (nine-week-old male Wistar rats) retinas[2].
TGN-020 (100 mg/kg; ip; single dose immediately followed SCI) promotes functional recovery at days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28, as well as reduces the degree of edema and inhibits the expression of AQP4, GFAP, PCNA at days 3 after SCI. TGN-020 inhibits the glial scar formation and upregulates GAP-43 expression in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats (180-220 g, 9-10 weeks old) with SCI[4].

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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (8.10 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 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 (16.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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:  0.5% Methyl cellulose/0.5% Tween-80 in Saline water

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (24.25 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  15% Cremophor EL    85% Saline

    Solubility: 25 mg/mL (121.23 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

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.
