LH2-051, a lysosome-enhancing compound (LYEC), is a brain-penetrant dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor (Ki: 0.95 μM). LH2-051 inhibits DAT-mediated dopamine uptake with an IC50 of 3.0 μM. LH2-051 promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB and lysosome biogenesis. LH2-051 improves the memory of amyloid precursor protein (APP)/Presenilin 1 (PS1) mice. LH2-051 can be used for the study of Alzheimer’s disease.

Description

LH2-051, a lysosome-enhancing compound (LYEC), is a brain-penetrant dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor (Ki: 0.95 μM). LH2-051 inhibits DAT-mediated dopamine uptake with an IC50 of 3.0 μM. LH2-051 promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB and lysosome biogenesis. LH2-051 improves the memory of amyloid precursor protein (APP)/Presenilin 1 (PS1) mice. LH2-051 can be used for the study of Alzheimer’s disease[1].

In Vitro

LH2-051 (3-50 μM, 3-12 h) promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB which is independent of inactivation of mTORC1 or GSK3β[1].
LH2-051 (10-4-10-1 μM) binds directly to DAT (Ki = 0.95 μM) and inhibits DAT-mediated dopamine uptake with an IC50 of 3.0 μM in HEK293 cells[1].
LH2-051 (30 μM, 0-6 h) promotes lysosome biogenesis in HeLa cells and SH-SY5Y cells, which is regulated by CDK9-mediated phosphorylation of TFEB[1].
LH2-051 (30 μM, 3 h) induces the translocation of DAT from the plasma membrane onto lysosomal membranes in SH-SY5Y cells[1].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.75 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.75 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 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.
