    Description

    Ataluren (PTC124) is an orally available CFTR-G542X nonsense allele inhibitor.

    IC50 & Target

    CFTR[1]

    In Vitro

    This premature “stop” signal (a class I mutation) prevents the cell from producing a full-length CFTR protein[1]. Ataluren (PTC124)-a new chemical entity that selectively induces ribosomal readthrough of premature but not normal termination codons[2].

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

    In Vivo

    Ataluren (PTC124) activity, optimized using nonsense-containing reporters, promotes dystrophin production in primary muscle cells from humans and mdx mice expressing dystrophin nonsense alleles, and rescues striated muscle function in mdx mice within 2-8 weeks of drug exposure. Ataluren (PTC124) is well tolerated in animals at plasma exposures substantially in excess of those required for nonsense suppression[2]. To induce nonsense suppression and increase PPT1 enzyme activity, the read-through drug Ataluren (PTC124) is given via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection to male Cln1R151X mice at 2 months of age. These treatments are performed four times daily for 2 consecutive days in a proof-of-principle study. Used at 10 mg/kg, Ataluren (PTC124) increased PPT1 enzyme activity (P=0.0001 by unpaired t-test) and protein level (P=0.0014 by unpaired t-test) in the liver, but did not increase PPT1 enzyme activity or protein level in the cortex. This tissue-specific effect is likely due to the inability of Ataluren (PTC124) to breach the blood brain barrier (BBB), which decreased the bioavailability of Ataluren (PTC124) within the brain, and prevented Ataluren (PTC124) from reaching an efficacious concentration within the therapeutic window[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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (8.80 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.32 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 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 (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Duplicate samples of HEK293 cells harbouring LUC-190 (UGA) are incubated in the presence of 5 μM Ataluren (PTC124) (treated) or 1% DMSO (untreated) for 20 h. The cells are collected, washed twice in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), resuspended in sample buffer (Bio-Rad) and shipped on dry ice to Kendrick Laboratories for two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis Isoelectric focusing (pH 3.5-10) is carried out in glass tubes for 20,000 V-hours. One μg of a tropomyosin internal standard is added to each sample. Second dimension SDS slab gel electrophoresis is carried out for approximately 6 h at 25 mA per gel. After electrophoresis, gels are transferred to PVDF paper. Computerized analysis of spot mobility used Phoretix software[2].

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Mice[3]
    Male mice are randomly assigned to either a treatment group or vehicle control group. Six to eight mice per group are treated with 10 or 100 mg/kg Ataluren (PTC124) dissolved in PBS containing DMSO (2% for 10 mg/kg and 20% for 100 mg/kg) and (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (22%) via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections four times daily for 2 consecutive days. Six to eight control mice are treated with the vehicle of the drug: PBS containing DMSO (2% or 20%) and (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (22%). Immediately following the last injection on the second day, tissues are collected and stored at −80°C for further use.

    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.
