Description

Emixustat, a novel visual cycle modulator, is an inhibitor of the visual cycle isomerase with an IC50 value of 4.4 nM in vitro.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 4.4 nM (visual cycle isomerase)[1]

In Vitro

Emixustat potently inhibits isomerase activity in vitro (IC50=4.4 nM). Treatment of emixustat shows a concentration dependent reduction of 11-cis-ROL production [1]. Emixustat strongly inhibits 11-cis-retinol production with an IC50 value of 232±3 nM[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Emixustat reduces the production of visual chromophore (11-cis retinal) in wild-type mice following a single oral dose (ED50=0.18mg/kg). In albino mice, emixustat is shown to be effective in preventing photoreceptor cell death caused by intense light exposure. Pre-treatment with a single dose of emixustat (0.3 mg/kg) provids a 50%protective effect against light-induced photoreceptor cell loss, while higher doses (1-3 mg/kg) are nearly 100%effective. In Abca4-/- mice, chronic (3 month) emixustat treatment markedly reduces lipofuscin autofluorescence and reduces A2E levels by 60%( ED50=0.47 mg/kg). In the retinopathy of prematurity rodent model, treatment with emixustat during the period of ischemia and reperfusion injury produces a 30%reduction in retinal neovascularization (ED50=0.46mg/kg)[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.39 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.39 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Purity & Documentation
Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: Albino (BALB/c) mice are used to assess the effects of emixustat on protection from light damage. Mice are treated with a single dose of emixustat (0.3 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg). The effect of emixustat on the accumulation of A2E and lipofuscin autofluorescence is examined in Abca4-/- mice. Mice are treated with emixustat (3 months daily treatment, 0.3 or 3 mg/kg/day)[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
