COA Handling Instructions

Zamicastat (BIA 5-1058) est un inhibiteur de la dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) et peut traverser la barrière hémato-encéphalique (BHE) pour provoquer des effets centraux et périphériques. Zamicastat est également un double inhibiteur de P-gp et de BCRP concentration-dépendant avec des valeurs IC50 de 73,8 μM et 17,0 μM, respectivement. Zamicastat réduit l’hypertension.

Zamicastat (BIA 5-1058) is a dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor and can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to cause central as well as peripheral effects. Zamicastat is also a concentration-dependent dual P-gp and BCRP inhibitor with IC50 values of 73.8 μM and 17.0 μM, respectively. Zamicastat reduces high blood pressure.

Description

Zamicastat (BIA 5-1058) is a dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor and can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to cause central as well as peripheral effects. Zamicastat is also a concentration-dependent dual P-gp and BCRP inhibitor with IC50 values of 73.8 μM and 17.0 μM, respectively[1]. Zamicastat reduces high blood pressure[2].

IC50 & Target

Dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH)[1]
IC50: 73.8 μM (P-gp), 17.0 μM (BCRP)[1]

In Vitro

Following 4 hours of incubation (5, 10, 20, 50, 80, 100 μM), a significant loss of cell viability is verified with 100 μM Zamicastat (p=0.010) in MDCK-BCRP cells. No significant losses of cell viability are observed after 4 h of incubation for other concentrations in all cell lines. By decreasing the incubation period to 30 min, there is no significant loss of cell viability (p>0.05) at 100 μM in all cell lines[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDCK II, MDCK-MDR1 and MDCK-BCRP cells
Concentration: 5, 10, 20, 50, 80, 100 μΜ
Incubation Time: 4 hours (5, 10, 20, 50, 80, 100 μM) or 30 min (only 100 μM)
Result: A significant loss of cell viability was verified with 100 μM in MDCK-BCRP cells.
In Vivo

Zamicastat (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day; oral bolus, 7 days) is tested acutely against salt-induced hypertension in the Dahl SS rat. Zamicastat produces a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure. 24 h after Zamicastat administration mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) decrease is -12.6±4.1 mm Hg (P=0.0284), -15.2±2.7 mm Hg (P=0.0026) and -19.0±3.7 mm Hg (P=0.0036) for the 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg body weight dose, respectively. Zamicastat administration also produces a significant 24-h average decrease in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of - 14.6±3.4 mm Hg (P=0.0073) with 10 mg/kg body weight dose, -13.0±4.5 mm Hg (P=0.0347) with 30 mg/kg body weight dose and -15.0±3.1 mm Hg (P=0.0046) with 100 mg/kg body weight dose. Zamicastat administration leads to a decrease in the 24h post-dose mean arterial pressure (MAP) of -13.4±3.8 mm Hg (P=0.0162), -14.0±3.5 mm Hg (P=0.0101) and -20.6±3.7 mm Hg (P=0.0026) for the 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg body weight dose, respectively. There is a small, but significant, effect of Zamicastat on the 24-h mean heart rate (HR) post-dose for all tested doses (10 mg/kg: -19.1±3.2 beats/min, P=0.0019; 30 mg/kg: -13.0±4.5 beats/min, P=0.0347; 100 mg/kg: -21.6±6.6 beats/min, P=0.0235)[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.23 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.23 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    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.

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.
