NS-181
NS-181 is an orally active MetAP2 inhibitor and antiamebic agent with oral effectiveness.NS-181 functionally inhibits methionine aminopeptidase 2, a protein critical for Entamoeba histolytica proliferation. NS-181 exerts antiamebic activity against Entamoeba histolytica, leading to resolution of amebic liver abscess. NS-181 can be used for the research of amebiasis.

Biological Activity
NS-181 (30 min) resists hamster liver microsome-mediated metabolism and retains potent antiamebic activity (ED50 of 14.6 nM) after 30 min of microsomal incubation[1].
NS-181 (10 μM) exhibits no cytotoxicity against Huh-7 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells[1].

Result:Achieved complete resolution of amebic liver abscess, with abscess weight proportion relative to whole liver reduced to near 0%, amebic mRNA levels in liver reduced, and inflammation levels decreased to match noninfected controls.
Significantly reduced amebic liver abscess size, with abscess weight proportion relative to whole liver markedly decreased compared to vehicle controls.
