Beloranib
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Beloranib (ZGN-440; CKD-732 free base) is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of methionine aminopeptidase MetAP2 that suppresses appetite and increases energy expenditure. Beloranib blocks the enzymatic cleavage of N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins by forming a covalent bond with MetAP2, thereby regulating fatty acid metabolism, adrenergic signaling, and hypothalamic NF-κB expression. Beloranib significantly reduces food intake, body weight, and fat accumulation, while improving glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. Beloranib also elevates energy expenditure and fat oxidation levels, without affecting body temperature, spontaneous activity, or the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Beloranib can be used in research on obesity and hypothalamic obesity.

MetAp2 |
Beloranib potently inhibits endothelial cell proliferation via selective inhibition of MetAP2[2].
Beloranib (24 h pre-incubation; 3 h norepinephrine treatment) enhances norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in primary rat brown adipocytes, increasing glycerol release to 4- to 5-fold relative to vehicle[3].
Beloranib (24 h pre-incubation) enhances norepinephrine-induced energy expenditure in primary rat brown adipocytes, increasing the %OCR AUC relative to vehicle[3].
Beloranib (24 h concurrent treatment) reverses norepinephrine desensitization in primary rat brown adipocytes, sustaining ucp1 gene expression at 177-fold after 24 h of norepinephrine treatment[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Beloranib (0.1 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once daily; for 14 consecutive days) induces significant weight loss and reduces food intake by 28% in young adult male MC4rKO obese rats[1].
Beloranib (0.1 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection, once daily for 21 consecutive days) induces a 10% body weight loss, reduces food intake, and improves insulin sensitivity in weight-stable aged male MC4rKO obese rats[1].
Administration of Beloranib to nude mice with xenografts inhibits angiogenesis and tumorigenesis[2].
Beloranib (1 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once daily; for 12 consecutive days) reduces body weight by 20-23% over 12 days in high-fat diet-induced obese male C57BL/6 mice[3].
Beloranib (1 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once daily; for 14 consecutive days) reduces body weight by 22-25% within 14 days in high-fat diet-induced obese C57BL/6 mice, while decreasing fat mass and increasing lean mass, but exerts minimal effects on body weight and body composition in lean mice[3].
Beloranib (0.3 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; administered twice at 9:00 a.m. on Day 1 and Day 2) inhibits MetAP2 activity in brown adipose tissue of C57BL/6 mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet[3].

Animal Model:Sprague Dawley (male, juvenile, 75-100 g at arrival, 246.4 ± 1.8 g at surgery, combined medial hypothalamic lesion induced)[1]
-
Dosage:0.1 mg/kg
-
Administration:subcutaneously; daily; 12 days
-
Result:Reduced mean daily body weight gain to 0.2 g/d and total body weight gain to 4.2 g over 12 days; body weight was significantly lower after 8 days of treatment.
Reduced mean 24-hour food intake by 30%, with consistent reductions across light and dark cycles.
Reduced mean 24-hour water intake by 28%, while the water-to-food intake ratio remained unchanged.
Lowered fasting insulin levels significantly; reduced fasting blood glucose significantly relative to pretreatment levels.
Increased circulating α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) levels significantly; increased the α-MSH-to-leptin ratio significantly.
Reduced Lee index (adiposity marker) from pretreatment levels, while vehicle-treated CMHL rats showed an increase.
Downregulated hypothalamic NF-κB mRNA expression significantly; SOCS-3 expression remained unchanged relative to vehicle.
Did not affect body temperature, locomotor activity, or serum lipid levels (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL).
