IC50: 0.6 µM (Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase)[1] STAT4[1]
(R)-Lisofylline targets lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of lysophosphatidic acid and other bioactive lipids, with an IC₅₀ of 0.6 μM. The compound also modulates inflammatory pathways, including suppression of IFN-γ production. As the (R)-enantiomer of the Pentoxifylline metabolite, (R)-Lisofylline exhibits anti-inflammatory activities that are distinct from the parent compound. The compound's effects on insulin secretion and glucose metabolism suggest it may target pathways involved in pancreatic β-cell function and immune regulation. The compound's multi-target profile contributes to its diverse biological activities. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
(R)-Lisofylline has no effect on IL-12 release from APCs ex vivo or in vitro, but it inhibits IL-12-driven Th1 differentiation and T cell proliferation in vitro[3].
In vitro studies have demonstrated that (R)-Lisofylline is an inhibitor of LPAAT with an IC₅₀ of 0.6 μM. The compound lessens the impairment of insulin secretion induced by IL-1β in cultured rat islet cells. (R)-Lisofylline suppresses IFN-γ production, indicating its anti-inflammatory activity. In cell-based assays, the compound shows protective effects on pancreatic β-cells against cytokine-induced damage. The compound's activity is concentration-dependent and enantiomer-specific, with the (R)-enantiomer showing distinct biological properties compared to the (S)-enantiomer or the racemic mixture. (R)-Lisofylline has been used to study the mechanisms of β-cell dysfunction and inflammation in diabetes. |
| ln Vivo |
(R)-Lisofylline enhances insulin response and lowers glucose levels in Streptozotocin-treated rats after the oral glucose tolerance test. It also lessens the impairment of insulin secretion induced by IL-1β in cultured rat islet cells, suppresses IFN-γ production, the onset of diabetes, and macrophage infiltration into islets from NOD mice[1]. (R)-Lisofylline inhibits STAT4 phosphorylation, which stops IL-12 signaling, preventing β cell dysfunction in NOD mice. In mice, (R)-Lisofylline reduces the symptoms of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis[1]. (R)-Lisofylline also lessens sepsis-induced lung damage in minipigs and increases survival in mice given a fatal dosage of LPS injections. While pretreatment with (R)-Lisofylline lowers lung leak in rats given IL-1 intratracheally, it does not lessen the concentration of neutrophils in the lungs[1]. (R)-Lisofylline also inhibits the release of TNF-α when endotoxins from Salmonella or Escherichia coli are triggered in vivo in mice and ex vivo in human blood[1].
In vivo studies have demonstrated that (R)-Lisofylline enhances insulin response and lowers glucose levels in streptozotocin-treated rats after oral glucose tolerance testing. In NOD (non-obese diabetic) mice, the compound suppresses IFN-γ production, delays the onset of diabetes, and reduces macrophage infiltration into islets. These findings suggest that (R)-Lisofylline has protective effects against the development of autoimmune diabetes. The compound's anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities contribute to its in vivo efficacy. (R)-Lisofylline has been investigated in animal models of diabetes and inflammation. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free biochemical assays for (R)-Lisofylline typically measure inhibition of LPAAT activity. A standard protocol involves incubating recombinant LPAAT or lysates from cells expressing LPAAT with varying concentrations of (R)-Lisofylline (0.01-100 μM), a lysophosphatidic acid substrate, and acyl-CoA in appropriate buffer. Product formation is detected by radiometric methods using [¹⁴C]-labeled substrates or by mass spectrometry. IC₅₀ values are determined from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression analysis. Assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls. The compound's enantiomeric purity is verified by chiral HPLC.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for (R)-Lisofylline typically use pancreatic β-cell lines or primary islet cells to assess effects on insulin secretion and cell survival. A standard protocol involves culturing rat islet cells or β-cell lines (e.g., INS-1, MIN6) in 96-well plates, treating with (R)-Lisofylline at concentrations ranging from 1-100 μM for 1-48 hours, and stimulating with glucose or cytokines (e.g., IL-1β). Insulin secretion is measured by ELISA or RIA. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or apoptosis assays. Cytokine-induced damage is assessed by measuring nitric oxide production or caspase activity. IFN-γ production is measured in immune cell cultures by ELISA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for (R)-Lisofylline are typically conducted in rodent models of diabetes. A standard protocol for streptozotocin-treated rats involves administration of streptozotocin to induce diabetes, followed by treatment with (R)-Lisofylline (typically 10-50 mg/kg) by oral or intraperitoneal administration for several weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests are performed to assess insulin response and glucose clearance. For NOD mouse studies, the compound is administered prophylactically or therapeutically, and the onset of diabetes is monitored by blood glucose measurements. Pancreatic tissues are collected for histopathological analysis of islet inflammation and macrophage infiltration.
