Product details
- Chemical name: 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-one.
- Also known as: AG 3-5
- CAS number: 36945-98-9
- Molecular formula: C16H13N3O4.
- Purity: >95%
- Concentration: 1 nM - 1 µM.
- Form: Lyophilized powder.
- Solubility: Up to 100 mM in DMSO. Centrifuge all products before use (10000 x g 5 min).
- Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity
- Shipping: Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
- Target: TRPM8 channel
- Source: Synthetic
- Activity: Icilin is a potent TRPM8 channel activator (EC50 = 0.2 µM)1.
- Alternative names: AG 3-5
Scientific background
Icilin is a synthetic cooling substance that acts as a potent TRPM8 channel activator with an EC50 value of 0.2 ± 0.1μM1. This compound also shown to activate TRPA1 ion channel but at higher concentrations. Activation of TRPM8 channel by icilin produces Na+ and Ca2+ ion influx that results in cellular depolarization and the feeling of cold. Icilin has the ability to produce behavioral activation in rats and mice1-3.TRPM8 is a Ca2+-permeable channel, a member of the 'long' or melastatin (M) group of TRP channels and is activated by temperatures in the range of 8-28°C or by cooling compounds such as icilin. The TRPM8 gene is expressed and up-regulated in prostate cancer and other malignancies. TRPM8 channel is specifically expressed in temperature-sensing trigeminal and dorsal root ganglion neurons1,4.
