Product Name: WAY-200070
Chemical Name: 7-Bromo-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-5-ol
CAS Number: 440122-66-7
Appearance: White Powder
Purity: 99%
Product Description:
WAY-200070 is a selective agonist for the estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), with an IC50 of 2.3 nM. It exhibits a significantly lower affinity for ERRα (IC50 = 155 nM), making it a highly specific tool for studying ERRβ-mediated pathways.
Applications:
- Neuroscience Research:
- Demonstrates antidepressant-like effects by increasing dopamine levels in the striatum of wild-type mice and reducing immobility in behavioral tests.
- Behavioral Studies:
- Enhances agonistic behaviors in male and female mice, including pushing and aggressive grooming.
- In ovariectomized (OVX) mice, WAY-200070 promotes social learning and preference behaviors.
- Anxiety and Depression Research:
- Reduces anxiety-like behaviors in the open-field and elevated plus maze tests.
- Significantly lowers depressive-like behaviors in the forced swim test.
- Endocrinology Studies:
- Useful for exploring estrogen receptor beta functions and associated signaling pathways.
Mechanism of Action:
- Selective Activation of ERRβ:
- WAY-200070 binds to ERRβ with high selectivity (IC50 = 2.3 nM), inducing nuclear translocation of the receptor and downstream signaling events.
Features:
- High Selectivity: Targets ERRβ with minimal off-target activity.
- Behavioral Modulation: Proven to influence social, cognitive, and emotional behaviors in animal models.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of research applications, including neuroscience, endocrinology, and behavioral science.
In Vivo Studies:
- Dopamine Modulation: A delayed 50% increase in dopamine levels was observed in the striatum following subcutaneous administration (30 mg/kg) in wild-type mice.
- Anxiety and Depression Reduction: Significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects were recorded in behavioral tests.
Storage Information:
- Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture and light to ensure stability.
