Product Description

Emricasan (formerly also known as IDN-6556 and PF 03491390) is a potent, first-in-class and irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor. It is being tested in clinical studies to treat liver diseases. In a murine model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, emricasan lessens liver damage and fibrosis. In a porcine islet autotransplant model, emricasan promotes marginal mass islet engraftment. Patients with chronic hepatitis C who take Emricasan orally may have less active aminotransferases. In a mouse model of alpha-fas-induced liver injury, oral PF-03491390 is retained in the liver for an extended amount of time with minimal systemic exposure, acting as a hepatoprotective agent.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Caspase
ln Vitro
Emricasan, also known as IDN-6556 or PF-03491390, is a sub- to nanomolar active inhibitor of activated caspases. While Emricasan exhibits neuroprotective activity for hNPCs, ZIKV replication is not prevented[2].
ln Vivo
Emricasan reduces NASH-related liver damage but not metabolic disturbance. It lessens inflammation as well. The pan-caspase inhibitor Emricasan reduces hepatic fibrogenesis and stellate cell activation in the murine NASH model[1]. Phase 2 clinical trials are currently being conducted on emricasan to determine whether it can lessen the hepatic damage and liver fibrosis brought on by chronic HCV infection[2].
Cell Assay
Astrocytes are mock-infected, treated with DMSO, or treated with 2 M niclosamide, 92 M PHA-690509, 9 μM emricasan, or a combination of 92 μM PHA-690509 and 9 M emricasan for 1 h prior to infection with PRVABC59 (MOI = 0.5). Following infection for 24 hours, cells are fixed and stained for ZIKVE and nuclei.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~175.6 mM)
Ethanol: ~25 mg/mL (~43.9 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (4.39 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO 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: 2.5 mg/mL (4.39 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO 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.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
