Product Description
Obtucarbamate A is extracted from Disporum cantoniense and has anti-tussive activity.
Obtucarbamate A (CAS 6935-99-5), also known as Dimethyl 4-methylbenzene-1,3-dicarbamate or NSC 36549, is a bioactive compound isolated from Disporum cantoniense. With a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₄N₂O₄ and a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol, it has drawn attention for its diverse pharmacological properties. Obtucarbamate A exhibits significant inhibitory effects against neuroinflammation with an IC₅₀ value of 10.57 µM. It also has antitussive activity. It is considered a promising lead candidate in drug discovery and disease management.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Obtucarbamate A targets neuroinflammation pathways, showing significant inhibitory effects. Its primary target is nitric oxide (NO) synthase, suggesting that it exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by modulating the production of nitric oxide, a key inflammatory mediator. This makes it a compound of interest for studying conditions associated with neuroinflammation. It is also associated with the Immunology/Inflammation class of compounds.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Obtucarbamate A exhibits significant inhibitory effects against neuroinflammation, with an IC₅₀ value of 10.57 µM. This activity is likely mediated through its inhibition of NO synthase, reducing the production of nitric oxide. It also has antitussive activity. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and potential anticancer activities have been reported.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the therapeutic potential of Obtucarbamate A is being explored, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and antitussive properties. Its ability to inhibit neuroinflammation suggests potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases and other conditions associated with central nervous system inflammation. However, specific in vivo efficacy data are not detailed in the provided search results.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for Obtucarbamate A likely involve measuring its inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production. This can be done using a cell-free system where the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is incubated with the compound and its substrate, L-arginine. The amount of NO produced is then measured using a colorimetric assay (e.g., Griess reaction). The IC₅₀ value (10.57 µM) is determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Obtucarbamate A use immune cells, such as microglia or macrophages, stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce an inflammatory response. Cells are treated with the compound, and the production of nitric oxide (NO) and other inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) is measured. The compound's ability to reduce these inflammatory markers, as demonstrated by its IC₅₀ of 10.57 µM, is used to quantify its anti-neuroinflammatory activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Obtucarbamate A would likely employ models of neuroinflammation, such as LPS-induced neuroinflammation in rodents, or models of cough to evaluate its antitussive activity. The compound would be administered, and parameters such as inflammatory cytokine levels in the brain, behavioral changes, and cough frequency would be assessed to evaluate its efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Obtucarbamate A has a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₄N₂O₄. It is a powder that is soluble in Chloroform, Dichloromethane, Ethyl Acetate, DMSO, and Acetone. It should be stored desiccated at -20°C. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters, such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), are not widely published.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Obtucarbamate A is not extensively detailed in the provided search results. As a bioactive natural product, it is considered to have a manageable safety profile for research use, but comprehensive toxicological studies are likely required for therapeutic development. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
