URB602

URB602 is a selective monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) inhibitor, which inhibits rat brain MGL with IC50 of 28±4 μM through a noncompetitive mechanism.

How to use

In Vitro:

Without URB602, the apparent Michaelis constant (Km) of MGL for 2-AG is 24±1.7 μM and the maximum velocity (Vmax) is 1814±51 nmol min per mg protein; with URB602, the Km is 20±0.4 μM and the Vmax is 541±20 nmol min per mg protein (n=4). When organotypic slice cultures of rat forebrain are incubated with URB602 (100 μM), both baseline and Ca2+-ionophore-stimulated 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) concentrations are increased. URB602 is an inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), a serine hydrolase involved in the biological deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG). URB602 weakly inhibits recombinant MGL (IC50=223±63 μM) through a rapid and noncompetitive mechanism.

In Vivo:

URB602 at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg tends to reduce upper GI transit and slow colonic propulsion. When taken together as whole gut transit, URB602 dose dependently inhibits transit (P<0.05) compared with the vehicle control group. The inhibitory action of 40 mg/kg URB602 on whole gut transit is absent in these mice, indicating CB1 receptor involvement in the inhibitory action. URB602 decreases the AUC of pain behaviour during the early phase of the formalin test with an ED50 of 0.06±0.028 μg for JZL184 and 120±51.3 μg for URB602 in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Both MGL inhibitors also suppresses pain behaviour during the late phase of formalin pain, with an ED50 of 0.03±0.011 μg for JZL184 and 66±23.9 μg for URB602.
