A-836339 is a selective CB2 receptor agonist, with Ki values of 0.4 nM and 0.8 nM in humans and rats, respectively. A-836339 exhibits multiple effects such as analgesia, gastric protection, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant activity. A-836339 produces antinociceptive and analgesic activities by activating CB2 receptors in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord. A-836339 can also exert gastric protective effects through anti-inflammatory mechanisms (reducing TNF-α and IL-1β) and antioxidant mechanisms (enhancing the activities of CAT and SOD, and reducing H2O2). Radioactively labeled A-836339 can serve as a CB2-specific radioligand for autoradiography and PET imaging. A-836339 can be used in research on inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, gastric ulcers, cerebral ischemia, etc.

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: ≥ 0.71 mg/mL (2.29 mM); Clear solution

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 0.71 mg/mL (2.29 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.71 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (7.1 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, 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.
