Description

Brequinar (DUP785) is a potent inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) with an IC50 of 5.2 nM for human DHODH. Brequinar has potent activities against a broad spectrum of viruses. Brequinar also has an anti-SARS2 activity.

In Vitro

Brequinar reduces virus progeny production by >90%, with EC50 of 17 nM. Brequinar (5 μM) also inhibits other orthopoxviruses, and blocks virus DNA replication. Brequinar does not affect virus early gene expression, but has a severe effect on the late stage of the virus cycle[1]. Brequinar reduces the level of envelope protein production and the viral titer in a dose-dependent manner, with EC50 of 78 nM in the CFI assay. Brequinar (5 μM) inhibits viral RNA synthesis. Brequinar has antiviral effect, but the effect is reversed by pyrimidine. Brequinar-resistant viruses can be selected in cell culture. Brequinar (5 μM) suppresses the luciferase activities from both the WT and NS5 mutant replicons[2]. Brequinar sodium effectively prevents the increase in PyNTP levels with an IC50 of 0.26 μM. Brequinar sodium effectively inhibits cell proliferation with an IC50 of 0.26 μM. Brequinar sodium inhibits autophosphorylation of p56lck with IC50 of 70 μM; inhibition is 39, 41, and 60% for 25, 50, and 100 μM Brequinar sodium, respectively. Brequinar sodium also inhibits the phosphorylation by p56lck of the exogenous substrate, histone 2B, with an IC50 of 70 μM; inhibition is 10, 43, 59, and 86% for 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM Brequinar sodium, respectively. Brequinar sodium inhibits autophosphorylation of p59fyn with an IC50 of 105 μM; inhibition is 0, 17, 48, and 65% for 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM Brequinar sodium, respectively. Brequinar sodium also inhibits the phosphorylation by p59fyn of histone 2B with an IC50 of 20 μM; inhibition is 26, 54, 79, 83, and 84% for 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM Brequinar sodium, respectively[3].

In Vivo

Brequinar sodium-treated (10-20 mg/kg/day) mice has a 31% reduction in percentage of packed cell volume compared with untreated BALB/c mice. Brequinar sodium reduces UTP and CTP levels in bone marrow cells by 30 and 25%, respectively. Brequinar sodium (10-20 mg/kg/day) in combination with uridine (1000-2000 mg/kg/day) prevents anemia, and the hematocrits remain at levels (61-63%) comparable with those of untreated controls[3].

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 (5.54 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 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 (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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.54 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 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 (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[3]

Immunoprecipitated p59fyn or p56lck from CTLL-4 cells or LSTRA cells (5×106) is preincubated with various concentrations of BQR in the PTK buffer (50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2, and 10 mM MnCl2) on ice for 10 min. Exogenous substrate, histone 2B (2 μg), is added and, after 10 min, the reaction is initiated by addition of 10 μCi [γ-32P]ATP. After incubation at 20°C for 10 min, the reaction mixture is subjected to electrophoresis in a 12.5% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Phosphorylation of the kinase and the exogenous substrate is analyzed by autoradiography.

Cell Assay
[1]

The neutral-red uptake assay is used to evaluate cell viability. BSC-40 cells are seeded in 96-well plates in the presence of concentrations of Brequinar ranging from 0.01 μM to 75 μM for 24 h. Control cells are incubated with 0.1% DMSO. Neutral red is methanol/acetic acid-extracted from cells and is quantitated at an absorbance of 490 nm (A490). All measurements expressed the average of four independent assays.

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration
[3]

Brequinar is administered once daily by i.p. injection, while uridine is administered twice daily. Mice are bled through the orbital vein using a microhematocrit capillary tube, and the blood is centrifuged for 10 min at 550 × g. The percentage of packed cell volumes is determined with a microhematocrit capillary tube reader. All mice are killed 4 h after receiving their last dose of Brequinar or uridine.

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.
