Product Description
Diisopropyl adipate is an alternative plasticizer and TRPA1 activator. Diisopropyl adipate activates TRPA1 and enhances FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS). Diisopropyl adipate is also used as an ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations that are applied topically to the skin. Diisopropyl adipate could be utilized as pharmaceutical excipients, such as emollient and plasticizer. Pharmaceutical excipients or pharmaceutical auxiliaries refer to other chemical substances other than drug ingredients used in the pharmaceutical process. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients can also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs.
Diisopropyl adipate (Adipic acid diisopropyl ester) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C12H22O4 and a molecular weight of 230.30. It is an alternative plasticizer and a TRPA1 activator. Diisopropyl adipate activates TRPA1 and enhances FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS). The compound is also used as an ingredient in cosmetics and drug formulations topically applied to the skin. It serves as a pharmaceutical excipient, functioning as an emollient and plasticizer. The compound is primarily used as a plasticizer and solvent in various industrial applications, but its biological activity has garnered attention in recent research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Diisopropyl adipate targets the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel, functioning as a TRPA1 activator. Activation of TRPA1 by diisopropyl adipate enhances FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS). TRPA1 is a non-selective cation channel involved in pain sensation, inflammation, and sensory perception. The compound's interaction with TRPA1 has been demonstrated through its ability to activate the channel and potentiate immune responses. As an excipient, it also interacts with various pharmaceutical formulations without specific receptor binding.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that diisopropyl adipate activates TRPA1 and enhances FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS). The compound serves as an alternative plasticizer with biological activity that has garnered attention in recent research. It is known to interact with certain proteins and enzymes, including activation of the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1). The compound is utilized extensively as an alternative plasticizer in various formulations and as an excipient in pharmaceutical applications. It is also used as an ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations applied topically to the skin.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of diisopropyl adipate are limited in publicly available literature. The compound has been shown to enhance FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS), indicating its ability to modulate immune responses in vivo. As a TRPA1 activator, it may have effects on pain sensation, inflammation, and sensory perception in animal models. The compound is also used as an ingredient in cosmetics and drug formulations topically applied to the skin, suggesting topical absorption and local effects. However, specific in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for this compound are not extensively reported in the available sources.
Enzyme Assay
For TRPA1 receptor binding and activation assays, cells expressing TRPA1 channels (e.g., HEK293 cells) are cultured and loaded with calcium-sensitive fluorescent dyes. Diisopropyl adipate is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer to varying concentrations. Cells are treated with the compound and calcium flux is measured using fluorescence plate readers to assess TRPA1 activation. For contact hypersensitivity assays, FITC is applied to mouse skin followed by diisopropyl adipate treatment. Ear swelling or skin inflammation is measured as an indicator of CHS. Assays are performed in replicate with appropriate vehicle and positive controls (e.g., known TRPA1 agonists). IC50 or EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, cell lines of interest (e.g., TRPA1-expressing HEK293 cells or sensory neurons) are cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). Diisopropyl adipate is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to desired concentrations. Cells are treated with compound for specified durations. TRPA1 activation is assessed by measuring intracellular calcium flux using fluorescent indicators. For contact hypersensitivity studies, skin cells or immune cells may be used. Cell viability and inflammatory marker expression can also be measured. Each concentration is tested in replicate wells with appropriate vehicle controls and positive controls.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, diisopropyl adipate has been studied in FITC-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS) models. Mice are sensitized with FITC on the skin, followed by challenge with FITC and treatment with diisopropyl adipate. Ear swelling is measured as an indicator of CHS response. The compound is typically administered topically or via appropriate routes in suitable formulations. Dosage regimens vary by study objective. Tissue samples may be collected for histopathological examination and biomarker analysis. Body weight and clinical signs are monitored throughout. All procedures follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines. The compound is also used in topical cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of diisopropyl adipate are characteristic of a small lipophilic ester. The compound has a molecular weight of 230.30, formula C12H22O4, and CAS number 6938-94-9. It is used as a pharmaceutical excipient and can affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs. As a topical ingredient, it is absorbed through the skin. Storage: typically at room temperature in a dry place. Solubility: soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and oils.
