Description

Lotamilast (RVT-501; E6005) is a selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.8 nM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 2.8 nM (human PDE4)[1]

In Vitro

Lotamilast potently and selectively inhibits human PDE4 activity with an IC50 of 2.8 nM and suppresses the production of various cytokines from human lymphocytes and monocytes with IC50 values ranging from 0.49 to 3.1 nM[1].

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

In Vivo

Lotamilast is currently in phase 2 development for patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. In mice models, the topical application of Lotamilast produces an immediate antipruritic effect as well as an anti-inflammatory effect with reduced expression of cytokines/adhesion molecules. On the basis of these observed effects, topical RVT-501 ameliorates the appearance of atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in two types of AD models, hapten- and mite-elicited models, exhibiting inhibitory effects comparable to that of tacrolimus[1]. A single topical application of Lotamilast significantly inhibits spontaneous scratching during 1–2 h after application in mice with chronic dermatitis; the inhibition is partial and similar between 0.01% and 0.03%. Topical application of 0.03% Lotamilast to the rostral back significantly inhibits the increased activity of the cutaneous nerve in mice with chronic dermatitis. The cutaneous concentration of cAMP is significantly decreased in mice with chronic dermatitis, and this decrease is reversed by topical Lotamilast application[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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.29 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 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 (25.0 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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

PDE isoenzyme activities are quantified by measuring the formation of [3H]5′-AMP or [[3H]5′-GMP from [[3H]cAMP or [[3H]cGMP using an enzyme isolated from bovine brain (for PDE1), differentiated U-937 cells (for PDE2), human platelets (for PDE3 and PDE5), and U-937 cells (for PDE4). The test compounds (RVT-501), reference compounds, or vehicle (water) is added to a reaction buffer. The reaction is initialized by addition of the enzyme, and the mixture is incubated for 60 minutes at 22°C. After incubation, the reaction is stopped by heating the plate to 60°C for 3 minutes, after which time scintillation proximity assay beads are added. After 20 minutes of shaking at 22°C, the amount of [[3H]5′-AMP or [[3H]5′-GMP is quantified with a scintillation counters[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice: Lotamilast is applied to the hair-clipped rostral back. Observation of hind-paw scratching and electrophysiological recording of the cutaneous nerve branch are conducted. The effects of topical application of E6005 are evaluated 1 h after application, because topical application of the vehicle elicited hind-paw scratching for 40 min. The cutaneous concentration of cAMP is measured by enzyme immunoassay[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.
