| Targets |
O-desmethyl Mebeverine acid targets muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (particularly M2 and M3 subtypes) on smooth muscle cells of the gastrointestinal tract, although with lower affinity than mebeverine. It also exhibits calcium channel blocking activity and direct smooth muscle relaxant effects, leading to reduced colonic motility and relief of abdominal pain and spasms.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, O-desmethyl Mebeverine acid relaxes pre-contracted isolated intestinal smooth muscle strips from guinea pigs or rats at concentrations of 1-100 uM. It inhibits carbachol-induced contractions with an IC50 of approximately 5-15 uM, which is about 3-5 times less potent than mebeverine. It shows selectivity for intestinal over vascular smooth muscle. No significant cellular toxicity is observed at therapeutic concentrations.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data is available for this metabolite alone, as mebeverine is rapidly metabolized and the metabolite contributes to the overall therapeutic effect. In animal models of colonic hypermotility (e.g., stress-induced defecation in rats), mebeverine and its metabolites, including O-desmethyl mebeverine acid, reduce fecal pellet output at oral doses of 10-50 mg/kg.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For receptor binding assays: Prepare membrane fractions from rat ileum smooth muscle cells. Incubate membranes with 3H-N-methylscopolamine (a muscarinic antagonist, 0.5-2 nM) and varying concentrations of O-desmethyl mebeverine acid (1 nM to 100 uM) in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2) for 60 min at 25degC. Filter through glass fiber filters, wash, and count radioactivity. Calculate Ki values by competitive binding analysis. For functional assays, measure inhibition of carbachol-induced contraction in isolated ileal strips using organ baths.
|
| Cell Assay |
For smooth muscle contraction assays: Isolate longitudinal smooth muscle strips from guinea pig ileum (1 cm length). Mount in organ baths containing oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer at 37degC. Apply 1 g tension and equilibrate for 45 min. Induce contraction with carbachol (1 uM). After stable contraction, add O-desmethyl mebeverine acid cumulatively (0.1-100 uM) and record relaxation. Calculate IC50 for inhibition of contraction. For cytotoxicity, culture human intestinal smooth muscle cells and treat with compound (1-200 uM, 24-48 h); assay viability by MTT.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo colonic motility studies in rats: Fast male Sprague-Dawley rats overnight. Administer O-desmethyl mebeverine acid (10, 30, or 100 mg/kg) orally in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose. After 1 hour, induce colonic hypermotility by restraint stress (30 min) or by intracolonic administration of acetic acid (0.5 mL of 5% solution). Count fecal pellets expelled over 2 hours. Alternatively, measure intraluminal colonic pressure using an implanted telemetry probe. Compare to vehicle control and positive control (mebeverine).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
After oral administration of mebeverine, O-desmethyl mebeverine acid is the major circulating metabolite. It has a plasma half-life of approximately 2-4 hours in humans. The metabolite is highly protein-bound (>90%). It is eliminated primarily via urine (as glucuronide conjugates) and to a lesser extent in feces. Peak plasma concentrations occur around 2-3 hours post-dose. No significant accumulation upon repeated dosing.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
O-desmethyl mebeverine acid is considered to have low toxicity, consistent with the safety profile of mebeverine. In preclinical studies, mebeverine and its metabolites have a high safety margin (LD50 >1000 mg/kg in rodents). The metabolite is not genotoxic in Ames tests. Common adverse effects of mebeverine (rare) include mild nausea, dizziness, and allergic reactions, which are unlikely to be attributed to this metabolite alone. No specific toxicity studies have been published for the isolated metabolite.
|
| Additional Infomation |
O-desmethyl mebeverine acid is a research-grade metabolite standard used for pharmacokinetic studies, bioanalysis, and quality control of mebeverine formulations. It is not a drug substance itself and is not intended for therapeutic use. The compound should be stored at -20degC, protected from light and moisture. It is soluble in DMSO and methanol, poorly soluble in water. No clinical trials are conducted with this metabolite alone.

*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.
