Emixustat (ACU4429) is a novel and potent inhibitor of the visual cycle isomerase with an IC50 value of 4.4 nM in vitro.
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, emixustat significantly reduces isomerase activity (IC50=4.4 nM). The synthesis of 11-cis-ROL is reduced when emixustat is used [1], in a concentration-dependent manner. Emixustat has an IC50 value of 232±3 nM, which indicates a significant inhibition of 11-cis retinol production[2].

| ln Vivo |
After a single oral dosage of emixustat (ED50=0.18 mg/kg), the synthesis of the visual chromophore (11-cis retinal) is decreased in wild-type mice. Emizustat has demonstrated efficacy in mitigating the loss of photoreceptor cells in albino mice exposed to high light levels. A single dose of 0.3 mg/kg of emixustat administered prior to photoreceptor cell loss has a 50% protective effect; higher doses (1-3 mg/kg) yield approximately 100% protection. Chronic (3-month) emixustat therapy significantly lowers lipofuscin autofluorescence and reduces A2E levels in Abca4-/- mice by 60% (ED50=0.47 mg/kg). Treatment with emixustat during the time of ischemia and reperfusion injury in the mouse model of retinopathy of prematurity results in a 30% reduction in retinal neovascularization (ED50=0.46 mg/kg)[1].

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.39 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% EtOH + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 30.0 mg/mL clear EtOH stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.39 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% EtOH + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 30.0 mg/mL clear EtOH stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
