Product Description
L-732138 is a selective and competitive neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor blocker (antagonist) with IC50 of 2.3 nM. L-732138 is 200-fold more potent at the cloned human NK-1 receptor than at the cloned rat NK-1 receptor and more than 1000-fold more potent than at the human NK-2 and NK-3 receptors. L-732138 reduces hyperalgesia and Has potential anticancer/anti-tumor effects.
L-732138 is a potent, highly selective, and competitive antagonist of the tachykinin neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor, also known as the substance P receptor. It is a small molecule with the chemical name N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl ester. This compound is used extensively as a research tool to study the role of substance P and the NK-1 receptor in various physiological and pathological processes, including pain modulation, neurogenic inflammation, and cancer. It is known for its high selectivity for the human NK-1 receptor over other neurokinin receptors and species variants.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
L-732138 selectively targets the neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor, which is a G protein-coupled receptor for the neuropeptide substance P. It acts as a competitive antagonist, meaning it binds to the same site as the natural ligand, substance P, and blocks its effects. L-732138 exhibits remarkable selectivity, being more than 1000-fold more potent at cloned human NK-1 receptors than at human NK-2 and NK-3 receptors. It is also approximately 200-fold more potent at human NK-1 receptors than at rat NK-1 receptors.
ln Vitro
Cytotoxicity is concentration-dependent and is produced in COLO 858, MEL HO, and COLO 679 cells treated with L-732138 (0 -100 µM; initial doubling time). With an IC50 of 44.6 μM in COLO 858 cells, 76.3 μM in MEL HO cells, and 64.2 μM in COLO 679 cells, L-732138 suppresses cell growth. Substance P (SP) mitogen stimulation is blocked by L-732138 [1]. Following L-732,138 treatment, a significant number of apoptotic cells were discovered in the melanoma cell lines COLO 858, MEL HO, and COLO 679. Three melanoma cell lines had an IC50 concentration of 43.6% apoptotic cells in DAPI-stained cultures, and an IC100 concentration of 51.4% apoptotic cells [1].
In vitro, L-732138 potently inhibits the binding of its ligand to the NK-1 receptor. It demonstrates an IC50 of 2.3 nM for inhibiting the binding of ¹²⁵I-substance P to the human NK-1 receptor stably expressed in CHO cells. Beyond its receptor antagonism, L-732138 has been shown to induce apoptosis and counteract substance P-related mitogenesis in human melanoma cell lines. This indicates that the compound can not only block the receptor's function but also trigger cell death in certain cancer contexts, potentially by inhibiting substance P-driven proliferation.
ln Vivo
Vagus nerve-induced plasma extravasation was eliminated and LPS enhancement was markedly decreased in male Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs treated with L-732138 (10-4-10-2 mol/kg; intravenous injection; 15 min duration). LPS-enhanced vagus nerve-induced plasma extravasation cannot be fully inhibited by L-732138 or SOD administration alone, but it can be blocked by the combination of the two pretreatments [3].
In vivo, L-732138 has been shown to be effective in reducing hyperalgesia. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are not extensively reported in the available literature. The compound has been used to study neurogenic plasma exudation in guinea-pig airways. Its primary application is as a research tool to elucidate the physiological and pathological roles of the NK-1 receptor in animal models of pain, inflammation, and other conditions.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based in vitro assays for L-732138 typically involve radioligand binding studies to determine its affinity for the NK-1 receptor. In these assays, membrane preparations from cells expressing the human NK-1 receptor are incubated with a radiolabeled high-affinity antagonist, such as ¹²⁵I-substance P, in the presence of varying concentrations of L-732138. The ability of L-732138 to displace the radiolabeled ligand is measured, and the inhibitory constant (IC50) is calculated from competition curves. This method provides a quantitative measure of the compound's binding affinity, with L-732138 demonstrating an IC50 of 2.3 nM.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: COLO 858, MEL HO and COLO 679 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0 µM, 20 µM, 40 µM, 60 µM, 80 µM, 100 µM
Incubation Duration: First Doubling Time
Experimental Results: Produced Concentration - dependent cytotoxicity.
Cellular assays for L-732138 are used to assess its functional antagonism at the NK-1 receptor. These assays often employ cell lines that stably express the human NK-1 receptor and are engineered to report receptor activation, for example, through a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye. Cells are pre-incubated with L-732138 and then stimulated with an NK-1 receptor agonist like substance P. The compound's ability to inhibit the agonist-induced signal, such as an increase in intracellular calcium, is measured. The concentration required to produce half-maximal inhibition (IC50) is determined, confirming its potent functional antagonism.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs (350-500 g) injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [3]
Doses: 10-4 mol/kg, 10-3 mol/kg and 10-2 mol/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)Injection Injection; 15 min
Experimental Results: Eliminates vagus nerve-induced plasma leakage in tracheobronchial tissue and dose-dependently inhibits vagus nerve-induced plasma leakage in LPS-enhanced tracheobronchial tissue.
In vivo animal models for L-732138 include those designed to study pain and inflammation. A commonly used model is the substance P-induced behavioral response in mice, where the compound is administered prior to an intrathecal or central injection of a substance P analog. The reduction in pain-related behaviors, such as scratching and biting, is quantified. Another model involves the inhibition of neurogenic inflammation, such as plasma extravasation in the dura mater, which is relevant to migraine research. In these studies, L-732138 is typically administered at various doses, and its efficacy is compared to vehicle controls.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
L-732138 has a molecular weight of 472.39 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₂H₁₈F₆N₂O₃. Its CAS number is 148451-96-1. It is supplied as a solid with a purity of ≥98% (HPLC). The compound is soluble in DMSO (94 mg/mL) and ethanol, but insoluble in water. For in vivo studies, it can be formulated as a homogeneous suspension in CMC-Na at a concentration of ≥5 mg/mL. Storage conditions: room temperature for the powder.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicological data for L-732138 are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a research compound, its safety profile would need to be established through standard preclinical toxicity assessments. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
