In Vitro
FAP has been implicated in cancer; however, its specific role remains elusive because inhibitors that distinguish FAP from other prolyl peptidases like dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) have not been developed. Ac-Gly-BoroPro selectively inhibits FAP relative to other prolyl peptidases. FAP reacts readily with submicromolar concentrations of Ac-Gly-BoroPro, reaching steady state inhibition levels rapidly (Ki=23±3 nM). In contrast, DPP-4 requires higher Ac-Gly-BoroPro concentrations for inhibition and a longer time to reach steady state inhibition levels (Ki=377±18 nM). Ac-Gly-BoroPro inhibits other prolyl peptidases (DPP-7, DPP-8, DPP-9, prolyl oligopeptidase, and acylpeptide hydrolase) with Ki values ranging from 9- to 5400-fold higher than that for FAP inhibition. The N-acyl-linkage in Ac-Gly-BoroPro blocks the N terminus of the inhibitor, making it less nucleophilic and therefore unlikely to cyclize[1].

Safranin O/Fast Green staining in control and Fap KO mice treated with FAPi or vehicle after DMM surgery. Weekly intra-articular administration of FAPi (Ac-Gly-BoroPro, 40 μg/kg body weight) or vehicle (PBS) in 10-week-old mice was started 3 days after the surgery and continued for 8 weeks before paraffin sectioning and safranin O/fast green staining of the knee joints. Intra-articular administration of FAPi (Ac-Gly-BoroPro) in control mice also significantly ameliorated cartilage erosion, subchondral bone thickening and synovitis compared to the vehicle group.
