SAFit2 is a potent inhibitor of FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51), with the Ki value of 6nM[1]. SAFit2 can reduce the phosphorylation levels of the inhibitory complex α (IκBα) and p65, as well as decrease the levels of chemokines and cytokines, thereby inhibiting the inflammatory response[2]. SAFit2 has been widely used as a pharmacological probe for FKBP51 to alleviate pain and regulate neuroinflammation in animals[3].
In vitro, SAFit2 treatment (60nM) for 4 days reduced PD-L1 expression and inhibited cell growth in mouse glioblastoma (GBM) cells[4]. Treatment with 1μM SAFit2 for 48 hours can improve the function of isolated mouse β cells and upregulate the mRNA expression levels of Nkx6.1, Mafa, Ins1 and ins2[5].
In vivo, SAFit2 treatment via intraperitoneal injection twice daily at a dose of 10mg/kg for 6 days restored lipid signaling and metabolism in the neural tissue of mice after nerve injury[6]. Administering 10mg/kg SAFit2 by intraperitoneal injection twice a day for 6 consecutive days can alleviate mechanical hyperalgesia induced by paclitaxel in mice[7]. A single intraperitoneal injection of 20mg/kg SAFit2, administered over a period of 4 hours, reduced the anxiety-like behaviors in female rats during the early stage of cocaine self-administration withdrawal[8].

Cell lines |
ICR mouse pancreatic β cells |
|
Preparation Method |
ICR mouse pancreatic β cells were grown in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U/ml penicillin, and 0.1mg/ml streptomycin in 5% CO2 at 37°C. Cells were treated with DMSO or SAFit2 (1μM) for 48h and the mRNA expression levels of Nkx6.1, Mafa, Ins1 and ins2 were analyzed. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
1μM; 48h |
|
Applications |
SAFit2 treatment significantly enhanced the levels of Nkx6.1, Mafa, Ins1 and ins2 in mouse pancreatic β cells. |

Animal models |
C57Bl/6N mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Male C57Bl/6N mice (8 weeks old) were kept in temperature-controlled (21°C-25°C) and humidity-maintained (40%-70%) room with a 12-h light/dark cycle. Water and food were provided freely. For inducing neuropathic pain in mice, a spared nerve injury (SNI) surgery was performed under anesthesia to establish neuroinflammation. During the surgery, the sciatic nerve was exposed by a blunt dissection at the level of the knee joint. Then, two of the three sciatic nerve branches, the common peroneal and tibial branches, were ligated with 6/0 non-sterile silk thread and cut distally from the ligature, leaving the sural nerve branch intact. Contact with the sural nerve branch was avoided to prevent stretching or harm. Afterwards, the muscle and skin are closed in two layers. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with either 10mg/kg SAFit2 or vehicle (PBS supplemented with 5% PEG400, 5% Tween and 0.7% ethanol) twice daily on six consecutive days starting on day five after surgery. For the determination of the mechanical withdrawal threshold, a dynamic plantar test was used. |

Dosage form |
10mg/kg; twice a day for 6 days; i.p. |

Applications |
SAFit2 treatment reduced nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in mice. |
