RGM8-51 is a β-lactam derivative, potent, selective TRPM8 antagonist with IC50 of 1.06 and 1.74 uM for rat and human TRPM8, respectively.RGM8-51 does not have any ability to activate TRPM8 channels, but produces a concentration-dependent inhibition of menthol activation.RGM8-51 is selective for cold-activated TRPM8 channels, displays no agonist or antagonist profile in cool-activated TRPA1 channels and has negligible activity as TRPV3 and ASIC3 channel antagonists.RGM8-51 (1 µM) inhibited menthol-activated currents in rTRPM8-expressing HEK293 cells.RGM8-51 exhibits in vivo antinociceptive activity in response to cold, in a mouse model of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.RGM8-51 reduces cold, mechanical and heat hypersensitivity in a rat model of neuropathic pain arising after chronic constriction of the sciatic nerve.RGM8-51 exhibits mechanical hypersensitivity-relieving activity, in a mouse model of NTG-induced hyperesthesia.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C.
