Product Description
N3PT (N3-pyridyl thiamine) is a transketolase inhibitor. N3PT binds transketolase via pyrophosphorylation, with Kd of 22 nM for the absence of bound thiamine transketolase (Apo-TK).
N3PT (N3-pyridyl thiamine, CAS 13860-66-7) is a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme transketolase (TK). It has a molecular formula of C₁₃H₁₉Cl₂N₃OS and a molecular weight of 336.28. N3PT is a thiamine antagonist that disrupts the pentose phosphate pathway, making it a valuable tool for investigating cancer metabolism and a promising lead for antimalarial drug development.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
N3PT targets transketolase (TK), a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is a potent and selective inhibitor. N3PT is pyrophosphorylated and then binds to the apoenzyme form of transketolase (Apo-TK, lacking bound thiamine) with a Kd of 22 nM.
ln Vitro
In HCT-116 cells, N3PT (Compound 1) has an average human EC50 value of 26 nM transketolase [1]. N3PT (1 ppm or 5 ppm) does not decrease the activity of NADPH-containing phosphate-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), but instead significantly inhibits the activity of the thiamine utilization enzyme [1].
In vitro, N3PT inhibits transketolase activity in cell-based assays. It acts as a competitive inhibitor of TK. The compound shows an IC₅₀ of 22 nM for Apo-TK and an EC₅₀ of 26 nM for cellular TK.
ln Vivo
In HCT-116 tumor-bearing nude mice, N3PT (Compound 1) (100 mg/kg; iv; twice daily; 2 weeks) demonstrated reduction of transaminolase activity but no discernible anticancer action [ 1
In vivo, N3PT is a potent and selective transketolase inhibitor. Its ability to disrupt the pentose phosphate pathway makes it a valuable tool for studying cancer metabolism in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays measure the inhibition of transketolase activity. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and its substrate, and the enzymatic activity is measured, typically by following the production of a product or the consumption of a substrate. The IC₅₀ is determined from concentration-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays evaluate the inhibition of cellular transketolase activity. Cells are treated with increasing doses of N3PT, and the enzymatic activity is measured and compared to untreated controls. The EC₅₀ for cellular TK is determined to be 26 nM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: HCT-116 tumor-bearing nude mice [1]
Doses: 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)injection; ]. twice (two times) daily; 2-week
Experimental Results: Transketolase activity diminished but had no significant effect on tumor size. An alternative pathway for the production of ribose for DNA synthesis was shown to exist in these tumor cell lines.
In vivo animal studies would typically involve administering N3PT to animal models of cancer or other diseases where the pentose phosphate pathway is a target. Endpoints would include tumor growth inhibition, metabolic changes, and assessment of target engagement.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of N3PT have not been detailed in the provided search results. As a small molecule, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion would be characterized in preclinical studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of N3PT has not been detailed in the provided search results. The compound is for research use only. It is typically stored as a powder at -20°C.

*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.
