Product Data:
Biological target: Phenazopyridine Free Base is A local anesthetic that has been used in urinary tract disorders.
In vitro activity: The effects of PAP (phenazopyridine) on the relevant TRP channels (TRPV1, TRPA1, TRPM8, TRPM3) expressed in HEK293 or CHO cells was investigated using Fura-2-based calcium measurements and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. PAP rapidly and reversibly inhibits responses of TRPM8 expressed in HEK293 cells to cold and menthol, with IC50 values between 2 and 10 μM. It acts by shifting the voltage dependence of channel activation towards positive potentials, opposite to the effect of menthol. PAP also inhibits TRPM8-mediated, menthol-evoked calcium responses in lumbosacral DRG neurons. Reference: Eur J Pharmacol. 2023 Mar 5;942:175512. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36657655/
In vivo activity: Importantly, this study demonstrated that phenazopyridine not only promoted RPS23RG1/Rps23rg1 expression, but also reduced AD-like pathologies and cognitive impairments in the APP/PS1 AD model mice. This study also determined a critical negative regulatory domain of RPS23RG1 within nucleotide positions +1177 to +1187 and found that the transcription factor SMAD3 bound to this domain. Inhibition of SMAD3 promoted RPS23RG1 expression. Moreover, phenazopyridine reduced SMAD3 binding to the RPS23RG1 promoter without affecting SMAD3 phosphorylation and nuclear localization.
