IC50: 7 nM (TPP II) and 10 μM (TPP I)[1]
The compound specifically targets tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP II), a large serine protease responsible for the stepwise removal of tripeptides from the N-terminus of protein substrates. It is also known as the CCK-inactivating peptidase that degrades the neuropeptide cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8), which regulates satiety, digestion, and anxiety. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
TPP II activity of cerebral membranes is inhibited by butabindide (UCL-1397; 0-24 nM; membranes of rat cerebral cortex) oxalate[2].
In biochemical assays, Butabindide oxalate shows potent inhibition of TPP II with a Ki value of 7 nM. It is highly selective for TPP II over TPP I, exhibiting a Ki of 10 microM for TPP I (over 1,400-fold selectivity). This selectivity makes it an ideal tool for dissecting the specific roles of TPP II in peptide metabolism, particularly for protecting CCK-8 against inactivation. |
| ln Vivo |
Inhibiting the breakdown of CCK-8 in the gastrointestinal tract, butabindide (UCL-1397; 10 mg/kg; iv; for 20 min) oxalate enhances mice's satiety[2].
In vivo, Butabindide oxalate inhibits TPP II activity in the gastrointestinal tract. Following intravenous administration, it has an ID50 of 1.1 mg/kg for inhibiting liver TPP II and 6.8 mg/kg for brain TPP II. By protecting CCK-8 from degradation, it enhances satiety and reduces food intake in animal models, as demonstrated when administered at 10 mg/kg iv for 20 minutes. |
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cellular protease assay is used to determine TPP II activity. Recombinant human TPP II (or purified rat liver enzyme) is incubated with a fluorogenic tripeptide substrate (e.g., H-Ala-Ala-Phe-AMC or succinyl-Ala-Ala-Ala-AMC) in assay buffer at pH 7.4. Butabindide oxalate is added at varying concentrations (0.1-1000 nM), and the reaction is monitored by fluorescence (ex/em ~380/460 nm). The Ki value is calculated from competitive inhibition kinetics.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for TPP II activity involve the use of cell lysates. Tissues or cells (e.g., neurons, glial cells, or gastrointestinal epithelial cells) are homogenized in buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100. The lysate is clarified by centrifugation, and the supernatant is incubated with a fluorogenic TPP II substrate (e.g., Ala-Ala-Phe-AMC) at 37degC for 30-60 minutes. Butabindide oxalate is added to the lysate to confirm the specificity of TPP II-mediated substrate cleavage.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Mice (25-30 g)[2]
Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; for 20 minutes Experimental Results: Reduces food intake and elicits other behavioral concomitants of satiation. In vivo, Butabindide oxalate is used in a mouse satiety/food intake model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats or C57BL/6 mice are fasted overnight. Butabindide oxalate (1-10 mg/kg) is administered via intravenous (iv) injection or intraperitoneally (ip) 15-30 minutes before refeeding. Food intake is measured at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours post-refeeding. A reduction in cumulative food intake indicates TPP II inhibition and increased CCK-8 bioavailability. To measure enzyme inhibition directly, animals are euthanized at 20-60 minutes post-dose, and liver and brain tissues are harvested for ex vivo TPP II activity assays. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Butabindide oxalate has a molecular weight of 393.44 (C17H25N3O2·C2H2O4). As a peptide-derived inhibitor, it is likely to have poor oral bioavailability due to proteolytic degradation in the GI tract. Therefore, it is typically administered intravenously in research models. It is stable as a powder when desiccated at -20degC. Its plasma half-life is expected to be short (on the order of minutes to an hour).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data for Butabindide oxalate is limited. In animal studies at effective doses (1-10 mg/kg iv), it was well-tolerated with no reported acute mortality. As a selective protease inhibitor, it is not expected to be highly cytotoxic. However, chronic effects on CCK-8 signaling have not been extensively studied. The compound is for research use only and not for human clinical therapy.

| Additional Infomation |
Butabindide oxalate is a lead compound developed by University College London (UCL) for studying TPP II. It is also known as UCL-1397 and is sold with the permission of INSERM and UCL. Its IUPAC name is (S)-1-((S)-2-aminobutanoyl)-N-butylindoline-2-carboxamide oxalate. It has been used in studies of c-MYC-induced centriole overduplication and antigen processing, demonstrating utility beyond neuropeptide regulation.
