Laflunimus (HR325) is an immunosuppressive agent and an analogue of the Leflunomide-active metabolite A77 1726. Laflunimus is an orally active inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Laflunimus suppresses immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion, with IC50 values of 2.5 and 2 µM for IgM and IgG, respectively. Laflunimus also is a prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase (PGHS) -1 and -2 inhibitor.

Description

Laflunimus (HR325) is an immunosuppressive agent and an analogue of the Leflunomide-active metabolite A77 1726. Laflunimus is an orally active inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Laflunimus suppresses immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion, with IC50 values of 2.5 and 2 µM for IgM and IgG, respectively. Laflunimus also is a prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase (PGHS) -1 and -2 inhibitor[1][2].

In Vitro

Ig secretion from mouse splenocytes was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 5 days. Laflunimus inhibited the secretion of IgM and IgG with IC50 values of 2.5 and 2 µM , respectively. Adding Uridine (50 µ M) increased these values to 70 and 60 µ M, respectively. Laflunimus inhibits LPS-induced kappa light-chain cell surface expression on 70Z/3 cells, a property also reversed by uridine[1].
Laflunimus (HR325) is more potent than A77 1726 as an inhibitor of PGHS in guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (IC50= 415 and 4400 nM, respectively) and on isolated ovine PGHS-1 (IC50=64 and 742 µM) and PGHS-2 (IC50=100 and 2766 µM)[2].

In Vivo

HR325 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; days 14-18 after being injected with SRBC) inhibits the secondary anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibody response with ID50 values of 38 mg/kg[1].

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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.06 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
