Product Description

Pradigastat (formerly also known as LCQ-908; LCQ908) is a novel, potent and orally bioavailable diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome. It is also being studied in phase II clinical trials as an anti-obesity and anti-diabetic agent. Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare lipid disease caused by complete lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency resulting in fasting chylomicronemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia. Inhibition of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), which mediates chylomicron triglyceride (TG) synthesis, is an attractive strategy to reduce TG levels in FCS .

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In human ovarian cancer cell lines that overexpress BCRP, prediastat suppresses the protein's dose-dependent efflux activity, with an IC50 value of 5 μM. Estimated IC50 values for pradigastat's concentration-dependent inhibition of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OAT3 are 1.66 μM, 3.34 μM, and 0.973 μM, respectively [2].
ln Vivo
In rats, dogs, and monkeys, digastat (LCQ-908) lowers their postprandial triglyceride levels. Rats with no longer having lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity have less postprandial plasma triglyceride buildup when given pradigastat. Pradigastat reduces the size of chylomicrons and the postprandial rate of chylomicron triglyceride (CM -TG) secretion into the lymphatic duct[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~62.5 mg/mL (~137.22 mM)

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.49 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
