Description

TAK-418 is a selective, orally active LSD1 (KDM1A) enzyme inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.9 nM. TAK-418 unlocks aberrant epigenetic machinery and improves autism symptoms in neurodevelopmental disorder models[1][2].

In Vivo

TAK-418 (1 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 14 days) ameliorates some autism spectrum disorder (ASD) -like behaviors in neurodevelopmental disorder model rodents[1].
TAK-418 increases H3K4me1/2/3 and H3K9me2 levels at the Ucp2 gene and induced Ucp2 mRNA expression in primary cultured rat neurons. TAK-418 also increases H3K4me1/2/3 at the Bdnf gene. TAK-418 avoids the steric interference with GFI1B in the binding pocket through the generation of a compact formylated adduct form of coenzyme flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). TAK-418 shows a good pharmacokinetic profile in rodents and inhibits LSD1 enzyme activity in the brain without causing hematological toxicity in rodents[1].
Single administration of TAK-418 at 1 or 3 mg/kg increases H3K4me2 levels at Ucp2 gene in the mouse brain[1].
TAK-418 can ameliorate neurological problems at the cellular, molecular, gene expression, and functional levels in a mouse model of KS (Kmt2d+/βGeo mice)[2].

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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (15.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (55.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (15.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (55.0 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.

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.
