| Targets |
Menbutone does not have a well-defined molecular target. Its primary action is as a choleretic, promoting the flow of bile and aiding in the digestion of fats. Its mechanism of action involves stimulation of bile secretion, which may be mediated through effects on the liver and biliary system. It also acts as trypsinogen and pepsinogen, potentially affecting digestive processes.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, menbutone is characterized as a choleretic agent. Its activity is typically assessed by its ability to stimulate bile secretion in isolated liver perfusion models. Its effects as trypsinogen and pepsinogen may be evaluated in enzymatic assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, menbutone acts as a choleretic, stimulating bile secretion. It has a rapid onset of action, reaching its maximum plasma level within 1 hour and lasting for roughly 10 hours. It is used to promote the flow of bile and aid in fat digestion. Its potential therapeutic applications have been studied in hepatic and gastrointestinal disorders.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies are not applicable to menbutone, as its mechanism is not based on enzyme or receptor binding. Its choleretic activity is evaluated using functional assays measuring bile flow in isolated liver preparations. Its effects on trypsinogen and pepsinogen may be assessed using standard enzymatic activity assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for menbutone are not commonly performed, as it is a choleretic agent. Studies may involve culturing hepatocytes and measuring bile acid production or secretion in response to the compound. Cytotoxicity may be assessed using standard viability assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for menbutone are conducted in animal models to assess its choleretic effects. Standard protocols involve administering the compound and measuring bile flow and composition. Its effects on digestive processes may be evaluated by measuring the activity of trypsinogen and pepsinogen. These studies confirm its efficacy as a choleretic agent.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of menbutone include a rapid onset of action, with maximum plasma levels achieved within 1 hour and lasting for roughly 10 hours. It has a molecular weight of 258.27 and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₁₄O₄. It is soluble in DMSO (>40 mg/mL). Its IUPAC name is 4-(4-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)-4-oxobutanoic acid.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for menbutone indicate that acute toxicity occurs at accidental high doses in rabbits, with a lethal dose of about 50. Cardiac muscle, liver and kidneys are the main target organs for menbutone toxicity. It is not recommended for use in rabbits suffering from any cardiac and hepatic disorders, especially in overdosing situations.
|
| Additional Infomation |
Menbutone is a type of butanone.
Menbutone (Genabilic acid) is an oxobutyric acid derivative that acts as a choleretic agent. It is also known as Genabilin and Naftobil. It stimulates bile secretion and has activity as trypsinogen and pepsinogen. It has been studied for its potential in treating hepatic and gastrointestinal disorders. It is not approved for human therapeutic use in many jurisdictions. |

| Solubility (In Vitro) |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
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 (9.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. 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 corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
