| Targets |
ML198 targets glucocerebrosidase (GCase), a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of glucocerebroside. Mutations in the GCase gene cause Gaucher disease, leading to the accumulation of glucocerebroside in lysosomes. ML198 acts as a non-inhibitory chaperone, binding to GCase and facilitating its proper folding and translocation to the lysosome, without inhibiting its enzymatic activity.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
For more than 48 hours, ML198 remains stable in D-PBS pH 7.4 at room temperature [1]. In human fibroblasts, ML198 enhances GCase translocation to lysosomes (20% cellular translocation at 5 µM vs. 5% in DMSO) [1]. ML198 has low water solubility, high microsomal stability, and Caco-2 permeability [1].
In vitro, ML198 activates GCase with an EC50 of 0.4 μM. In human fibroblasts, ML198 enhances GCase translocation to lysosomes, with 20% cellular translocation at 5 µM compared to 5% in DMSO. The compound shows promising microsomal stability and Caco-2 permeability, indicating good drug-like properties. However, it has low water solubility. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
