| Targets |
(Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne targets Bruton‘s tyrosine kinase (BTK). Ibrutinib (and its alkyne analog) bind covalently to cysteine residue 481 (Cys-481) in the active site of BTK. This irreversible binding blocks the kinase activity, preventing B-cell receptor signaling. The alkyne group does not interfere with binding but acts as a tag. This probe is used to pull down BTK (using alkyne-biotin) or to visualize BTK in cells (using alkyne-fluorophore). It also interacts with other kinases (e.g., ITK, TEC, EGFR) due to the presence of a conserved cysteine, making it a broad-spectrum probe for kinases with active-site cysteines.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne retains the ability to bind and inhibit BTK. In an enzymatic activity assay using purified BTK, the alkyne probe inhibits kinase activity with an IC50 in the single-digit nanomolar range (similar to Ibrutinib). Its primary application, however, is as a reporter. When incubated with cell lysates (10 nM-1 uM), it covalently binds to BTK. The lysates can then be subjected to "click chemistry" with biotin-azide. The biotinylated protein can be captured on streptavidin beads and detected by Western blot using an anti-BTK antibody. This validates target engagement. It is also used to label live cells (1 uM, 1 h), followed by fixation and click reaction with a fluorescent dye for imaging.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne is not used as a drug but as a probe to study drug distribution. It can be injected into tumor-bearing mice (e.g., 10 mg/kg, IP) to evaluate the biodistribution of BTK occupancy. After a defined period (1-24 h), tissues are harvested, homogenized, and the probe is "clicked" with a fluorophore. Fluorescence imaging or flow cytometry can then be used to identify which cells or tissues the drug has penetrated. Alternatively, it is used to trace protein targets in animal tissues. It is a versatile tool for chemoproteomics.

| Enzyme Assay |
General protocol for in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular): For a kinobeads or pull-down assay, incubate 100 uL of cell lysate (1 mg/mL protein) with 1 uM of (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne for 1 h at 4degC. Add 10 uM biotin-azide, 50 uM THPTA (ligand), 1 mM CuSO4, and 2 mM sodium ascorbate for 30 min at room temperature (click reaction). Add 30 uL of streptavidin-agarose beads and incubate for 1 h. Wash beads, elute with SDS buffer, and run on a Western blot. Probe with anti-BTK antibody to confirm pulldown. For competition, pre-incubate with unlabeled Ibrutinib (10 uM) to block binding.
|
| Cell Assay |
General protocol for in vitro cell-based experiments: Culture Ramos (B-cell lymphoma) cells in RPMI + 10% FBS. Treat live cells with (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne (0.1-10 uM) for 1-2 h. Harvest cells, wash to remove unbound probe. Fix cells with 4% PFA for 15 min. Permeabilize with 0.1% Triton X-100. Perform the CuAAC (click) reaction using 5 uM TAMRA-azide (fluorophore) for 30 min. Wash cells and analyze by flow cytometry (PE channel) or image by confocal microscopy (Ex/Em 550/570 nm). Fluorescence intensity indicates the amount of the probe bound to intracellular targets (BTK). For a competition assay, pre-treat cells with 10 uM unlabeled Ibrutinib to block the signal.
|
| Animal Protocol |
General protocol for in vivo animal experiments: Use 6-8 week old female BALB/c nude mice bearing xenografts (Ramos cells). Administer (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne (10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection. After 2 hours, sacrifice the mice, harvest the tumor tissue, and homogenize in PBS. Centrifuge to pellet debris. Incubate the supernatant with biotin-azide and click chemistry reagents as described. Capture biotinylated proteins on streptavidin beads, and elute for Western blotting. This measures target occupancy in the tumor. Alternatively, treat mice with the probe, then perform ex vivo click chemistry on tissue sections for imaging to visualize drug distribution.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
General pharmacokinetic properties: (Rac)-Ibrutinib alkyne is a small molecule (MW ~440 g/mol). It has a LogP ~3. It is soluble in DMSO. It is metabolized by CYP3A4. In mice, oral bioavailability is moderate (~40%), with a terminal half-life (t1/2) of 2-4 h. It is highly protein bound (>95%). For storage, it is supplied as a powder and should be stored at -20degC. It is stable in DMSO for several months.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
General toxicity profile: The probe is chemically similar to Ibrutinib, which is an approved drug. At concentrations used for labeling (1 uM), it is not cytotoxic to cells. In animal studies, single doses up to 50 mg/kg are generally well-tolerated. However, as a covalent inhibitor, caution should be used, and gloves should be worn. It is not a controlled substance.
