Product Description
Aurantiamide acetate is a selective and orally bioactive cathepsin inhibitor extracted from Portulaca oleracea L. Aurantiamide acetate exhibits anti-inflammatory effect and may be utilized in the study of inflammation-related diseases.
Aurantiamide acetate (Asperglaucide) is a naturally occurring dipeptide isolated from Aspergillus species and Portulaca oleracea. It is a selective and orally active cathepsin inhibitor, known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-glioma, and antibacterial properties.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
cathepsin L
Cathepsin B, Cathepsin L, potentially CTSK and MMP9.
ln Vitro
With an IC50 of 12 μM and 49 μM, respectively, aurantiamide acetate inhibits cathepsin B (3.4.22.1) and cathepsin L (3.4.22.15)[1].
Aurantiamide acetate exhibits potent cathepsin inhibitory activity. It inhibits cathepsin L and cathepsin B with IC50 values of 12 microM and 49 microM, respectively. In vitro, it decreases the viability of U87 and U251 glioma cancer cells at concentrations of 10-100 microM. It also inhibits NO production.
ln Vivo
In vivo, aurantiamide acetate has shown anti-inflammatory activity. In a rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis, subcutaneous administration at 10 mg/kg effectively inhibited hind paw swelling. In a U87 mouse xenograft model, intratumoral injection of 1 mg slowed tumor growth.
Enzyme Assay
A common enzyme inhibition assay uses fluorogenic substrates like Z-Phe-Arg-AMC for cathepsin L and Z-Arg-Arg-AMC for cathepsin B. The compound is pre-incubated with the enzyme in an activation buffer (e.g., 100 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.5, 5 mM DTT) at 37degC for 5 minutes. Substrate is added, and fluorescence is measured (Ex/Em = 380/460 nm).
Cell Assay
General in vitro cellular protocols use U87 and U251 human glioma cell lines. Cells are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS and treated with the compound (10, 30, 100 microM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assay. Apoptosis can be evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase-3 activation by western blot.
Animal Protocol
A rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis is used: male rats receive an intradermal injection of Freund's complete adjuvant into the hind paw to induce arthritis. Aurantiamide acetate is administered subcutaneously at 10 mg/kg daily for 20 days. Paw swelling is measured with a plethysmometer, and inflammatory cytokine levels are measured in serum.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As an orally active compound, aurantiamide acetate is expected to have good bioavailability. General PK data for similar dipeptides suggests it may be susceptible to rapid hydrolysis by peptidases, though oral activity indicates reasonable stability. No detailed PK parameters are available for this specific compound.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Current research data indicates low toxicity. In a U87 mouse xenograft model, intratumoral injection of 1 mg showed no reported systemic toxicity. No acute oral LD50 or specific toxicology data is available, but it is generally considered safe for research use at the described concentrations.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 50 mg/mL (112.48 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.62 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.62 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
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 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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.

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
