1. GPCR/G Protein Neuronal Signaling
  2. Dopamine Receptor
  3. UNC9995

UNC9995 is a β-arrestin2-biased agonist of dopamine receptor Drd2. UNC9995 inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by enhancing β-arrestin2-NLRP3 interaction, thus prevents neuronal degeneration. Futhermore, UNC9995 activates the Drd2/β-arrestin2 signaling to prevent inflammation-related genes transcription-induced by JAK/STAT3. UNC9995 improves depressive behavior in mouse model, and improves astrocytes dysfunctions.

Description

UNC9995 is a β-arrestin2-biased agonist of dopamine receptor Drd2. UNC9995 inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by enhancing β-arrestin2-NLRP3 interaction, thus prevents neuronal degeneration. Futhermore, UNC9995 activates the Drd2/β-arrestin2 signaling to prevent inflammation-related genes transcription-induced by JAK/STAT3. UNC9995 improves depressive behavior in mouse model, and improves astrocytes dysfunctions[1].

D2 Receptor

 

In Vitro

UNC9995 (10 μM; 1 h) promotes the combination of STAT3 and β-arrestin2, induced by IL-6 (300 ng/mL; 24 h) in primary astrocytes. And it also inhibits activation of STING, TBK1, JAK[1].
UNC9995 (1, 5, 10, and 20 μM; 1 h) abolishes the apoptosis and inflammation of both WT and Arrb2−/− astrocytes stimulated with IL-6 (300 ng/mL) for 24 h[1].

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

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Primary astrocytes
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 1 h for pre-incubation; with 300 ng/mL IL-6
Result: Enhanced the interaction between STAT3 and β-arrestin2.
Abolished the activation of cGAS-STING and JAK/STAT3 pathway stimulated by IL-6, decreased the level of p-STING, p-TBK1, p-JAK.
In Vivo

UNC9995 (2 mg/kg/day, i.p, 2 weeks) ameliorates depressive-like behavioral phenotype and improves the loss of astrocytes in the hippocampus in both Chronic social defeated stress (CSDS) model and Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model in mouse[1].

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

Animal Model: Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mouse model[1]
Dosage: 2 mg/kg/d
Administration: IP; 2 weeks
Result: Improved depressive-like symptoms of CUMS mouse model in WT mice but not Arrb2−/− mice.

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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 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 (12.5 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.
