Product Description
DPQ (also known as PARP Inhibitor III) is a novel and potent inhibitor of PARPs [The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases] which inhibits PARP1 activity with an IC50 value of 40 nM. It is approximately 10-fold less potent against PARP2. DPQ can be used in either cells or in animals. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) form a family of enzymes with roles in DNA repair and apoptosis, particularly in response to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

Introduction: DPQ (3,4-Dihydro-5-[4-(1-piperidinyl)butoxy]-1(2H)-isoquinolinone), also known as PARP Inhibitor III, is a potent, selective, and cell-permeable inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). It is a small molecule that mimics nicotinamide to competitively inhibit PARP at the NAD+ binding site. DPQ is primarily used as a research tool to study the role of PARP-1 in DNA repair, apoptosis, inflammation, and neurodegeneration. It has demonstrated significant neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects in various preclinical models. The compound is not clinically approved and is intended for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Target: DPQ specifically targets poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a nuclear enzyme involved in DNA repair and apoptosis. It inhibits PARP-1 with an IC50 of 40 nM, and is approximately 10-fold less potent against PARP-2. DPQ does not compete with ATP and its inhibition is reversible. By inhibiting PARP-1, DPQ blocks PARP-1-mediated DNA damage repair and limits NAD+/ATP depletion, thereby reducing excessive inflammatory responses and preventing PARP-1 mediated apoptosis under ischemic conditions.
ln Vitro
In Vitro Activity: DPQ demonstrates potent inhibition of PARP-1 enzymatic activity with an IC50 of 40 nM. It reduces N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced PARP activation and restores ATP to near-normal levels in neuronal cells. DPQ significantly attenuates neuronal injury in severe NMDA exposure models. It suppresses macrophage-mediated inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (such as TNF-α and IL-6) and oxidative stress. DPQ also inhibits PARP-1-mediated apoptosis under ischemic conditions.
ln Vivo
In Vivo Activity: DPQ has demonstrated significant in vivo efficacy in several disease models. In a rat focal cerebral ischemia model (middle cerebral artery occlusion), administration of DPQ (15 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) both before and after the onset of ischemia led to a significant reduction of infarct volume. DPQ mitigates acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in mice. It also exhibits cardiac protective effects and has been used in in vivo studies to determine the loss of γ-H2AX upon irradiation.
Enzyme Assay
In Vitro Enzyme/Receptor Binding Protocol: PARP-1 enzymatic activity assays typically use recombinant PARP-1 enzyme and [3H]NAD+ as substrate. The incorporation of radiolabeled ADP-ribose into acceptor proteins (such as histones) is measured in the presence of varying concentrations of DPQ. Alternatively, biotinylated NAD+ substrates can be used with colorimetric or chemiluminescent detection. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. The compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer to appropriate concentrations.
Cell Assay
In Vitro Cell-Based Assay Protocol: For neuroprotection studies, neuronal cell cultures are exposed to NMDA to induce excitotoxicity and PARP activation. Cells are treated with DPQ at various concentrations (typically 1-100 µM), and PARP activity, ATP levels, and cell viability are measured. For inflammation studies, macrophage or fibroblast-like synoviocyte cultures are treated with DPQ (e.g., 120 µM) 2 hours before TNF-α stimulation. NF-κB activity, cytokine expression, and oxidative stress markers are assessed.
Animal Protocol
In Vivo Animal Assay Protocol: For the rat focal cerebral ischemia model, rats are treated with DPQ (15 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection at 24 hours before ischemic injury. Ischemia is induced by middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Infarct volume is measured after reperfusion. For the LPS-induced acute lung injury model, mice are challenged with LPS and DPQ is administered via appropriate routes. Lung inflammation, injury markers, and survival are assessed. For in vivo formulation, DPQ can be prepared in 5% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 50% ddH2O or 5% DMSO + 95% corn oil.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics: Detailed pharmacokinetic properties of DPQ have not been fully characterized in publicly available sources. The compound has molecular formula C18H26N2O2 and molecular weight 302.41. It is soluble in DMSO (up to 60-100 mg/mL) and ethanol, but insoluble in water. LogP is 2.25, suggesting moderate lipophilicity. The compound is cell-permeable and is expected to cross the blood-brain barrier. Storage conditions: powder at -20°C for up to 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity: DPQ is classified as harmful (toxicity category C). Safety data indicate that it is toxic and contains a pharmaceutically active ingredient; handling should only be performed by trained personnel. It poses a risk of serious damage to eyes (R41) and danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure (R48). It is irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Hazard statements include H315 (skin irritation), H319 (serious eye irritation), and H335 (may cause respiratory irritation). The compound should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment (dust mask, eyeshields, gloves).
