Ensifentrine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ensifentrine (RPL-554) is an inhaled dual inhibitor of PDE3 and PDE4 with IC50s of 0.4 nM and 1479 nM, respectively. Ensifentrine blocks PDE3 and PDE4 enzymes, thereby increasing the levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in lung cells, dilating the bronchi, and inhibiting the activation and migration of inflammatory cells. Ensifentrine can be used in the research of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Ensifentrine (RPL-554) inhibits, in a concentration-dependent manner, lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α release from human monocytes (IC50 of 0.52 μM) and proliferation of human mononuclear cells to phytohemagglutinin (IC50 of 0.46 μM)[1].
Electrical field stimulation-induced contraction of guinea pig superfused isolated tracheal preparations is significantly inhibited by Ensifentrine (10 μM). Contractile responses are suppressed for up to 12 h after termination of superfusion with RPL-554 demonstrating a long duration of action[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
The inhalation of dry powder containing Ensifentrine by conscious guinea pigs (25% in micronized lactose) 1.5 h before antigen exposure significantly inhibits the recruitment of eosinophils to the airways[1].
Exposure of conscious guinea pigs to inhalation of dry powder containing Ensifentrine (2.5%) in micronized lactose significantly inhibits histamine-induced plasma protein extravasation in the trachea and histamine-induced bronchoconstriction over a 5.5-h period[1].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.62 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 1.25 mg/mL (2.62 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 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 (12.5 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.
