| Targets |
Leelamine HCl targets multiple cellular pathways and proteins. It is a cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor agonist, an inhibitor of SREBP1-regulated fatty acid/lipid synthesis, and an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) with an IC50 of 9.5 µM. It also acts as an inhibitor of intracellular cholesterol transport and an inducer of cytochrome P450 2B5. It has been reported to inhibit the androgen receptor (AR). This multi-target profile contributes to its diverse biological effects, including the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Leelamine HCl demonstrates potent anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. It induces apoptosis in breast cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer cells. In prostate cancer cells, it inhibits SREBP1-regulated fatty acid and lipid synthesis independent of androgen receptor status. The compound causes cancer cell death through the inhibition of intracellular cholesterol transport. It also induces apoptosis in K562/A02 leukemia cells. However, detailed IC50 values for these activities are not extensively reported in the available literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Leelamine HCl has demonstrated efficacy in suppressing the growth of 22Rv1 xenograft tumors in mice. This confirms its potential as an anticancer agent. The compound's mechanism of action in vivo is attributed to its ability to inhibit cholesterol transport and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data, including dosing regimens and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships, are not extensively reported in the available literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for Leelamine HCl include measuring its inhibitory activity against pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). The enzyme is incubated with a substrate in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound, and the kinase activity is measured. The compound's ability to inhibit SREBP1-regulated fatty acid/lipid synthesis can also be assessed in cell-based assays by measuring the expression of SREBP1 target genes or lipid accumulation.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Leelamine HCl are performed in various cancer cell lines to assess its cytotoxic and apoptotic effects. Cells are treated with various concentrations of the compound, and cell viability is assessed using assays such as MTT or resazurin reduction. Apoptosis is measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V staining or by measuring caspase activity. The compound's effects on cholesterol transport are assessed by measuring cholesterol accumulation in lysosomes using fluorescent cholesterol analogs.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with Leelamine HCl have been performed in mouse xenograft models. Human cancer cells (e.g., 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells) are implanted subcutaneously into immunodeficient mice. Once tumors are established, Leelamine HCl is administered, typically via intraperitoneal injection. Tumor growth is monitored over time, and at the end of the study, tumors are excised and analyzed for apoptosis and other biomarkers.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for Leelamine HCl are not extensively reported. The compound is a tricyclic diterpene with a molecular weight of 321.9 (as the HCl salt). It is expected to be lipophilic and cell-permeable. However, detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, half-life, and bioavailability are not available in the literature for this research compound.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Leelamine HCl has been studied in cell-based assays and in animal models and appears to have a manageable safety profile at therapeutic doses. However, comprehensive toxicology data for this compound are not extensively reported. The compound is classified as a research-use-only chemical and is not intended for human consumption. Specific toxicological data, including acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and target organ effects, are not reported in the available literature.

*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.
