ML221 Angiotensin Receptor antagonist

Cat.No.S8695

ML221 is a potent apelin receptor (APJ) functional antagonist in cell-based assays that is >37-fold selective over the closely related angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. The IC50 values of ML221 are 0.70 and 1.75 μM in a cAMP assay and β-arrestin assay, respectively.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
apelin receptor
(β-arrestin assay)
1.75 μM
In vitro
In a PAMPA permeability assay, ML221 exhibits moderate permeability. It displays moderate plasma and poor microsomal stability, as it is rapidly metabolized in both human and mouse liver homogenates (4.2% and 4.9% remaining at 60 min). It shows no toxicity (>50 μM) toward human hepatocytes. This compound displays limited cross reactivity against a range of GPCRs. It inhibits endothelial cell proliferation by blocking apelin-APJ signaling without affecting the expression of VEGF and VEGFR2.
In vivo
Intraperitoneal administration of ML221 inhibits pathological angiogenesis but enhances the recovery of normal vessels into the ischemic regions in the retina of the OIR model mice. A single application of this compound alleviates mechanical allodynia and heat hyperalgesia 7 days following chronic constriction injury (CCI), in a dose‑dependent manner. Intraspinal delivery of this chemical, at the onset of and in fully‑established neuropathic pain, persistently attenuates CCI‑induced pain hypersensitivity, indicating that the apelin‑APJ system is involved in initiating and maintaining pain. Intrathecal ML221 downregulates phosphorylated extracellular signal‑related kinase (ERK) in the rat spinal cord dorsal horn, suggesting that the effect of apelin on neuropathic pain may be mediated via ERK signaling.
