Overview
A-1165442 is a potent, competitive and orally available TRPV1 antagonist with an IC 50 of 9 nM for human TRPV1.
In Vitro
A-1165442 displays potent, competitive antagonism at recombinant human TRPV1 activated by capsaicin (IC 50 =9 nM) and incomplete blockade of acid-evoked response (62% block at 30 μM). A-1165442 possesses excellent selectivity (>100-fold) versus other members of the TRP family (TRPA1, TRPM8, TRPV2, TRPV3) and other receptors expressed in peripheral sensory neurons including P2X2/3, Cav2.2, Nav channels, and KCNQ2/3. A-1165442 shows minimal cross-reactivity upon evaluation (10 μM) in a broad screening panel (n=74, CEREP) of cell-surface receptors, ion channels, and enzymes. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
A-1165442 exhibits excellent pharmacological selectivity, has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, and demonstrates good efficacy against osteoarthritis pain in rodents. Oral administration of A-1165442 prevents capsaicin-induced nocifensive behaviors in rats, with an ED 50 of 9.5 μmol/kg corresponding to plasma concentration of 420 ng/mL (970 nM). A single dose of A-1165442 produces a robust effect on grip force, with an ED 50 of 35 μmol/kg measured 1 h postdosing. Repeated dosing of A-1165442 results in an increase in potency relative to acute analgesic efficacy. No significant changes in core body temperature is observed in conscious rats dosed with A-1165442 and this temperature-neutral profile is maintained in conscious dogs . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Biological Roles
This product is intended strictly for laboratory research. The following content provides general, literature-based context for small-molecule probes of intracellular pathways and how such compounds are typically utilized. No medical or clinical claims are made.
Role as a chemical probe: Small molecules are widely used to acutely and reversibly modulate protein function, enabling time-resolved dissection of signaling, viability, and stress-response pathways in cells and lysates. Compared to genetic perturbations, chemical probes can provide rapid onset and tunable dosing.
Pathway interrogation: By titrating concentration and exposure time, researchers can derive concentration–response relationships, estimate apparent cellular potency, and map pathway-specific biomarkers (e.g., phosphorylation states, transcriptional signatures, or proteolytic markers) that report on target engagement.
Selectivity considerations: Off-target interactions are an inherent risk. Best practice involves orthogonal confirmation (e.g., phenocopy via genetic KO/knockdown, use of an inactive analog, or rescue experiments) to ensure on-target attribution.
Pharmacology in vitro: Key parameters include biochemical potency (e.g., Ki/IC50 in purified systems), cellular potency (e.g., EC50 for a pathway readout), and time-dependence. These values are highly compound- and cell-model-dependent and must be established empirically under defined conditions.
Formulation for biology: Stock solutions in DMSO are commonly employed; final solvent concentrations are typically maintained at ≤0.1–0.5% v/v to minimize vehicle effects.
Note: Compound-specific biological targets, mechanisms, or potencies are not specified in the current product data for A-1165442. Consult the primary literature or the batch documentation if target annotations are required for experimental design.
Buffer Applications
This item is not a buffering agent and is not used to control pH. However, buffer choice is important for its use in biochemical or cell-based assays.
General guidance (practice-based):
Common assay buffers: PBS or HBSS for cell handling; Tris, HEPES, or phosphate buffers for enzyme and binding assays. Maintain physiological pH (≈7.2–7.6) unless the assay demands otherwise.
Vehicle compatibility: Ensure the final DMSO fraction after dosing remains within the tolerance of your system (often ≤0.1–0.5% v/v for mammalian cells). Match vehicle across control and treated samples.
Protein binding: Serum proteins (e.g., in FBS-containing media) can sequester hydrophobic compounds, shifting apparent potency. Consider reduced-serum or serum-free conditions for defined windows, with appropriate controls for cell health.
Adsorption and precipitation: Use low-binding plastics and add compound stocks to vigorously mixed buffers to avoid local supersaturation and precipitation.
Stability checks: If target pathways are sensitive to redox or metal ions, use chelators (e.g., 0.5–1 mM EDTA) only if validated not to interfere with the biology of interest.
Item-specific buffer recipes and pH ranges are not applicable; refer instead to your assay’s validated SOPs and include vehicle-only controls.
Green Alternatives
Green chemistry considerations are generally applied to solvents and bulk reagents. As a specialized small-molecule probe used at micromolar concentrations, A-1165442 has limited direct impact on process-scale green metrics. Nevertheless, greener practices can be implemented around its use:
Solvent minimization: Prepare the highest practical concentration of DMSO stock compatible with assay requirements to reduce solvent volumes across dilutions.
Solvent selection: Prefer DMSO over higher-toxicity aprotic solvents (e.g., DMF, NMP) for biological work. When possible, use aqueous buffers with minimal cosolvent.
Packaging/waste: Consolidate experiments to minimize partial-vial wastage; dispose of solutions as hazardous organic waste according to local regulations.
Energy use: Thaw and handle aliquots efficiently to limit repeated freeze–thaw cycles and unnecessary freezer door-open times.
Comparison (general context):
DMSO vs DMF/NMP: DMSO offers favorable toxicity/biocompatibility profile and is widely accepted in bioassays; DMF/NMP are less desirable from an EHS standpoint.
Aqueous vehicles with solubilizing excipients (e.g., cyclodextrins) can reduce DMSO percentages, but require validation for assay compatibility and may introduce additional variables.
Conclusion: Focus green improvements on solvent choice, aliquotting strategy, and waste reduction during the compound’s life cycle rather than on replacing the probe itself.
Pharmaceutical Uses
Research-use context only; no therapeutic or clinical use is intended or implied.
Role in drug discovery workflows (general): Small-molecule probes are commonly used in target validation, pathway deconvolution, and as reference comparators in screening assays. They can inform structure–activity relationships (SAR) and guide medicinal chemistry optimization.
Formulation studies (preclinical research): Investigators may evaluate solubility, stability, and compatibility in simple vehicles (e.g., DMSO, PEG-containing systems) to support in vitro and ex vivo experiments. Such activities remain strictly research-focused.
Regulatory status: Not a pharmacopeial standard and not approved as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Labeled for Research Use Only.

General guidance for small-molecule tool compounds (literature/practice, not item-specific specifications):
Many hydrophobic probes are formulated as concentrated DMSO stocks (e.g., 10–50 mM) and subsequently diluted into assay buffers. Actual solubility limits vary by structure and salt form.
If aqueous use is intended, co-solvent systems (e.g., DMSO 0.1–1% v/v in PBS or culture media) and gentle warming/sonication can aid dissolution. Avoid excessive heating that may cause decomposition.
Stability can depend on light, oxygen, and moisture exposure. Where details are unknown, minimize exposure and prepare single-use aliquots.
Always consult the batch CoA/SDS for definitive physical and stability parameters before experimental planning.

Solvent Selection
This product is a small-molecule chemical probe rather than a bulk process solvent. Solvent selection therefore focuses on stock-solution preparation and assay compatibility rather than synthetic use.
General guidance (literature/practice; not item-specific specifications):
Primary solvent for stock: DMSO is typically preferred due to broad solvating power and compatibility with cell-based and biochemical assays at low final percentages (commonly ≤0.1–0.5% v/v).
Alternative co-solvents: DMF or ethanol can dissolve certain chemotypes but may be less biocompatible; evaluate assay tolerance if used (e.g., keep ≤0.1% v/v in sensitive cells).
Aqueous compatibility: If direct aqueous solubility is limited, prepare a concentrated DMSO stock (e.g., 10–50 mM) and dilute into buffer/media with vigorous mixing. Add the DMSO solution last to well-mixed aqueous media to minimize precipitation.
Buffers: Physiological buffers (PBS, HBSS) or assay-specific buffers (HEPES, Tris) are commonly used; maintain consistent pH and ionic strength during compound addition.
Adsorptive losses: Low-binding plasticware or glass vials help reduce nonspecific adsorption for hydrophobic compounds.
Ethanol: good solvency; higher volatility; may affect membrane integrity at >0.5% v/v.
Aqueous with cosolvent or cyclodextrins: improved delivery for poorly soluble scaffolds; requires optimization and controls.
Always verify the final vehicle composition is matched in vehicle controls.
