    Description

    Talarozole (R115866) is an oral systemic all-trans retinoic acid metabolism blocking agent (RAMBA) which increases intracellular levels of endogenous all-trans retinoic acid (RA). Talarozole inhibits both CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 with IC50s of 5.4 and 0.46 nM, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    CYP26

     

    In Vitro

    When HepG2 cells are cotreated with atRA and Talarozole (1 μM), 4-OH-RA and 4-oxo-RA formation is significantly decreased[2].

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

    In Vivo

    A maximum 84% inhibition of CYP26 activity at 0.5 hours post-dose is predicted based on Talarozole (TLZ) Cmax of 80 nM and a Ki of 1 nM following a single dose of Talarozole. Due to the short Talarozole half-life (2.2 hrs) CYP26 activity is predicted to return to 100% by 12 hours. In agreement with the predictions, atRA concentrations are increased by 82, 63 and 60% at 4 hours post-dose in the serum, liver and testes, respectively, and concentrations returned to baseline by 24 hours. Following multiple doses of Talarozole, liver CYP26 mRNA and activity are increased suggesting autoinduction of CYP26 due to increased atRA concentrations. In agreement, atRA concentrations are elevated in serum and liver at all timepoints measured. This increase in atRA concentrations is associated with increased mRNA of the mitochondrial biogenesis markers PGC-1β and NRF-1 in comparison to control mice[3].

    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% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.30 mM); Suspended solution

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.30 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Human liver microsomes (0.2 mg/mL) are incubated with 4-OH-atRA (500 nM) and NADPH, NADP+ or NAD+ (each at 2 mM) in 100 mM KPi buffer pH 7.4. In addition, 4-OH-atRA is incubated with human liver microsomes in the presence and absence of Talarozole (1 μM), a CYP26A1 specific inhibitor, and Ketoconazole (10 μM) a pan-P450 inhibitor and with NADPH as a cofactor. Following a 5 min pre-incubation, the reactions are initiated with the addition of cofactor and incubated for 30 minutes. At 30 min the reactions are quenched with equal volume of Acetonitrile and centrifuged at 3,000 g for 15 min. The supernatants are collected and 4-oxo-atRA formation is analyzed by LC-MS/MS. All incubations are normalized to a no cofactor control[2].

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Mice[3]
    Talarozole is administered to mice as a single dose (2.5 mg/kg) or as multiple doses for three days. Serum Talarozole concentrations and serum, liver and testes atRA concentrations are measured by LC-MS/MS. Inhibition of CYP26 and changes inatRA concentrations in each tissue are predicted based on CYP26 activity in vitro and Talarozole disposition. Markers of fatty acid oxidation in the liver and spermatogonial differentiation in the testes are measured following Talarozole treatment.

    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.
