Description

ACY-738 is a potent, selective and orally-bioavailable HDAC6 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1.7 nM; ACY-738 also inhibits HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3, with IC50s of 94, 128, and 218 nM.

IC50 & Target[1]

HDAC6

1.7 nM (IC50)

HDAC1

HDAC2

128 nM (IC50)

HDAC3

218 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

ACY-738 (2.5 μM) increases the acetylated (lysine 40) fraction of α-tubulin in RN46A-B14 cells[1]. ACY-738 (10 μM) induces cell death comparable to LBH589 and FK228[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

ACY-738 (5 mg/kg) leads to significant increase in α-tubulin acetylation in whole-brain lysates. ACY-738 (50 mg/kg) fails to produce an enhancement of locomotor activity in WT mice tested in a home cage environment[1]. ACY-738 (5 mg/kg) reaches a maximum plasma concentration of 1310 ng/mL at 0.0830 h following treatment. ACY-738 (5 mg/kg BW) alters BM B cell differentiation, but shows no significant effect on IgG and C3 deposition in NZB/W mice. ACY-738 (20 mg/kg) significantly attenuates the severity of proteinuria in NZB/W F1 mice. ACY-738 (5 mg/kg) shows a significant decrease in anti-dsDNA production in NZB/W mice as they aged. ACY-738 (5, 20 mg/kg) attenuates sera IL-1β production as the NZB/W mice aged. ACY-738 (5 mg/kg) significantly reduces glomerular IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA levels by more than 50% while treatment with 20 mg/kg ACY-738 reduced IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA to non-detectable levels[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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.70 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.70 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice are injected i.p. 5 days/week with the vehicle control (DMSO), ACY-738 treatment at 5 mg/kg (low-dose), or ACY-738 treatment at 20 mg/kg (high-dose) beginning at 22-weeks-of-age until euthanasia at 38 weeks-of-age. The total volume injected is 80 μL. Proteinuria and weight are measured every 2 weeks and blood is collected every four weeks for sera analysis. Proteinuria is measured by a standard semi-quantitative test using Siemens Uristix dipsticks. Results are quantified and scored as follows: dipstick reading of 0 mg/dL = 0, trace = 1, 30-100 mg/dL = 2, 100-300 mg/dL = 3, 300-2000 mg/dL = 4, and 2000 + mg/dL = 5[2].

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.
