Product Description
Asp-AMS is an analog of aspartate adenylate, an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, and a potent competitive inhibitor of mitochondrial enzymes.
Asp-AMS (CAS#: 828288-98-8) is an analogue of aspartyl-adenylate that functions as a potent competitive inhibitor of mitochondrial aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) and mitochondrial enzymes. It is a small molecule inhibitor extensively used in biochemical research to study protein synthesis and mitochondrial function. Asp-AMS exhibits strong inhibitory activity with Ki values in the nanomolar range. This compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Asp-AMS is aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS), an enzyme essential for protein synthesis that catalyzes the attachment of aspartic acid to its cognate tRNA. Asp-AMS also acts as a potent competitive inhibitor of mitochondrial enzymes. The compound exhibits differential selectivity, showing stronger inhibitory effects on bacterial AspRS from organisms such as E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to human cytosolic AspRS. Additionally, Asp-AMS targets the mitochondrial isoform of AspRS with high affinity.
ln Vitro
Compared to aspartate-AMP (10 nM), which is a 500-fold more effective inhibitor of mitochondrial enzymes, Asp-AMS is 35 times less competitive than human and bovine cytochrome-AspRSs (300 nM). With Ki in the nanomolar (nM) range, Asp-AMS is a potent inhibitor. The greatest inhibitory effect on mitochondrial enzymes was similarly observed with Asp-AMS. With Ki values in the nanomolar range, Asp-AMS is the most potent inhibitor and is more effective against bacterial AspRS (such as E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) than against human cytosolic AspRS [1].
Asp-AMS demonstrates potent in vitro inhibitory activity against aspartyl-tRNA synthetase. It is a 500-fold stronger competitive inhibitor of the mitochondrial enzyme than aspartol-AMP (10 nM). Against human and bovine cytosolic AspRS, Asp-AMS is a 35-fold weaker competitor (300 nM). The compound exhibits Ki values in the nanomolar range, establishing it as one of the most active inhibitors for mitochondrial AspRS. Asp-AMS shows greater potency against bacterial AspRS compared to the human cytosolic enzyme, indicating species selectivity.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Asp-AMS are currently limited, as the compound is primarily utilized in biochemical and cell-based assays rather than animal models. Based on its potent in vitro inhibition of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase and mitochondrial enzymes with nanomolar Ki values, Asp-AMS is anticipated to disrupt protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in living systems. However, comprehensive pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies in animal models have not been extensively reported. The compound remains a research tool for studying aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase biology and mitochondrial enzyme function rather than a therapeutic candidate with established in vivo efficacy.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for Asp-AMS typically involves measuring its inhibitory activity against aspartyl-tRNA synthetase using enzymatic activity assays. The assay system includes purified AspRS enzyme, its natural substrate aspartic acid, ATP, and tRNA, with reaction progress monitored via ATP consumption or aminoacylation of tRNA. Asp-AMS is added at varying concentrations to determine IC50 or Ki values. Ki determination is performed using Lineweaver-Burk or Dixon plot analyses by measuring enzyme activity at different substrate and inhibitor concentrations. The assay buffer typically contains Tris-HCl, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and DTT at physiological pH. Reactions are incubated at 37degC and terminated by addition of trichloroacetic acid or SDS, followed by quantification of product formation.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cell-based assay for Asp-AMS involves culturing relevant cell lines (e.g., mammalian or bacterial cells) and treating them with varying concentrations of the compound. Cells are typically seeded in multi-well plates and incubated for 24-72 hours in appropriate growth media at 37degC with 5% CO2. Following treatment, cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT, CCK-8, or ATP-lite to determine IC50 values. Additionally, the compound's effect on protein synthesis can be evaluated by measuring incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids or by Western blot analysis of specific protein expression levels. Mitochondrial function can be assessed via oxygen consumption rate measurements or mitochondrial membrane potential assays using fluorescent dyes such as JC-1.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Asp-AMS have not been extensively documented in the literature. Based on the compound's mechanism as an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor, potential animal studies would typically involve administration of the compound via intraperitoneal, intravenous, or oral routes in rodent models. Dosing would be determined based on preliminary pharmacokinetic data and solubility profiles. Common endpoints in such studies would include evaluation of enzyme inhibition in target tissues, assessment of protein synthesis inhibition, and monitoring of general toxicity parameters. However, as Asp-AMS is primarily a research reagent for biochemical studies, comprehensive in vivo animal efficacy and toxicity studies have not been widely reported.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Asp-AMS have not been fully characterized in the literature. Based on its physicochemical properties, the compound has a molecular weight of 461.41 g/mol, a LogP of -6.5 indicating high hydrophilicity, and 6 hydrogen bond donors and 14 hydrogen bond acceptors. The compound shows good solubility in DMSO (100 mg/mL) and has been formulated for in vivo studies using 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% saline. The high polarity (LogP -6.5) suggests limited oral bioavailability and potential challenges with membrane permeability. The compound is stable when stored as powder at -20degC for 3 years or at 4degC for 2 years, and in solution at -80degC for 6 months or -20degC for 1 month.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for Asp-AMS are not extensively documented in the available literature. As a research-use compound intended for in vitro biochemical and cell-based studies, comprehensive toxicological profiling in animal models has not been reported. Based on its mechanism as an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor, potential toxicity would likely relate to disruption of protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in cells. The compound's high polarity (LogP -6.5) may limit cellular uptake and reduce systemic toxicity. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. As with all research chemicals, proper waste disposal procedures should be observed and exposure should be minimized.
