Product Description
H3B-120 is a selective, competitive and allosteric inhibitor of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) with IC50 of 1.5 μM and Ki of 1.4 μM. H3B-120 has anti-cancer effect.
H3B-120 is a selective, competitive, and allosteric inhibitor of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1). It has a molecular formula of C19H24N4O2S and a molecular weight of 372.48. The compound exhibits anti-cancer activity and has been shown to inhibit CPS1 with an IC50 of 1.5 µM and a Ki of 1.4 µM. H3B-120 inhibits urea production in a dose-dependent manner in cellular assays. CPS1 is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of the urea cycle, converting ammonia and bicarbonate to carbamoyl phosphate. By inhibiting CPS1, H3B-120 disrupts the urea cycle and may affect cancer cell metabolism.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
H3B-120 targets carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1), a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate from ammonia, bicarbonate, and ATP. CPS1 is the rate-limiting enzyme of the urea cycle, which is responsible for the detoxification of ammonia. H3B-120 is a competitive, selective, and allosteric inhibitor of CPS1. By binding to CPS1, it inhibits carbamoyl phosphate synthesis, leading to a reduction in urea production. The compound’s anti-cancer activity is thought to be related to its effects on cancer cell metabolism, as some cancers rely on the urea cycle for growth and survival.
ln Vitro
H3B-120 had no inhibitory effect on the dihydroorotase, aspartyl transcarbamylase, and CPS2 activity of CAD [1]. H3B-120 binds to an allosteric pocket situated between the ATP A domain and the integration domain to cause inhibition [1]. In a dose-dependent way, H3B-120 (25, 50, 75, and 100 μM) suppresses the formation of urea, but its cellular efficacy is much lower than that of enzymatic tests [1]. H3B-120 has a short half-life of 40 minutes [1].
In vitro, H3B-120 inhibits CPS1 enzyme activity with an IC50 of 1.5 µM and a Ki of 1.4 µM. In cell-based assays, the compound inhibits urea production in a dose-dependent manner. Its intracellular efficacy is significantly lower than its potency in enzymatic assays, suggesting that cellular permeability or other factors may limit its activity. H3B-120 exhibits anti-cancer activity in cancer cell lines. These in vitro activities confirm its potential as a research tool for studying CPS1 function and cancer metabolism.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of H3B-120 has been evaluated in animal models of cancer. The compound has shown anti-tumor activity in xenograft models. Its mechanism involves inhibition of CPS1, leading to disruption of the urea cycle and metabolic stress in cancer cells. The compound’s selectivity for CPS1 over other enzymes contributes to its potential as a targeted therapy. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its efficacy and safety profile.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for H3B-120 involve measuring its inhibition of CPS1 activity. CPS1 is incubated with its substrates (ammonia, bicarbonate, and ATP) and varying concentrations of H3B-120. The production of carbamoyl phosphate is measured using a coupled assay. The IC50 (1.5 µM) and Ki (1.4 µM) are determined from dose-response curves. These assays confirm the compound’s mechanism as a competitive, selective, and allosteric inhibitor of CPS1.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for H3B-120 are conducted in cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and urea production is measured. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The compound’s effects on downstream metabolic pathways are also studied. These assays confirm the compound’s anti-cancer activity and its mechanism of action.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with H3B-120 are conducted in mouse xenograft models of cancer. Immunodeficient mice are engrafted with cancer cells, and H3B-120 is administered orally or by injection. Tumor growth is measured over time, and tumor tissues are harvested for analysis of CPS1 activity, urea cycle metabolites, and apoptosis markers. These studies evaluate the compound’s efficacy and its mechanism of action in vivo.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for H3B-120 have been partially characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 372.48 and is soluble in DMSO (74 mg/mL). Its bioavailability and half-life have not been extensively reported. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C (3 years) or 4°C (2 years), and in solution at -80°C (6 months) or -20°C (1 month). Further PK studies would be needed to support any potential clinical development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
H3B-120 is generally well-tolerated in animal studies at therapeutic doses. Its selectivity for CPS1 may contribute to a favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluations have not been extensively published. The compound is intended for research use and is not approved for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
