Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

RCGD 423 is a GP10 signaling modulator which binds to domain 2 of GP130 causing atypical GP130 homodimerization, reducing the number of GP130 molecules available to dimerize with IL-6 family cytokine receptors. In a study, RCGD 423 reduced cartilage degradation, structural damage and the generation of osteophytes.

Biological target:
RCGD423 is a gp130 modulator and targets IL6-beta
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
Taking advantage of a molecule with the robust ability to promote Myc expression through binding of GP130 and activation of Jak/Stat signaling, mice were topically treated for 48 hours to determine the effect of RCGD423 on Stat signaling and Myc expression. Topical treatment of animals in telogen (day 50) with RCGD423 led to a robust acceleration of the hair cycle (Fig 6h), as well as minor hyperproliferation of the interfollicular epidermis.Total protein preps from skin treated with 2 topical doses of RCGD423 (50uM) show increased c-Myc, n-Myc and Ldha protein levels compared to animals that received 2 topical doses of vehicle control. Animals treated with RCGD423 (50uM) show pigmentation and hair growth, indicative of entry into anagen, after 5 doses. RCGD423 binds to GP130, a co-receptor for Jak-Stat signaling, and activates Stat-3. It was found that Stat-3 was activated in HFSCs by RCGD423 after topical treatment by immunostaining with phospho-Stat3 antibody (Fig 6g). This also correlated with induction of Ki67 in HFSCs in the same tissue (Fig 6g). IHC for pStat1 and pStat5 suggested that RCGD423 does not dramatically affect these other Stat family members (Supplementary Figure 5).
