| Targets |
micro-Calpain (Ki = 0.26 +/- 0.03 microM) and m-calpain (Ki = 5.33 +/- 0.77 microM), with approximately 20-fold selectivity for micro-calpain. PD 151746 is a cell-permeable, competitive calpain inhibitor.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
PD 151746 inhibits micro-calpain with a Ki of 0.26 microM, showing about 20-fold selectivity over m-calpain (Ki = 5.33 microM). It decreases oxLDL-induced cytotoxicity in cell culture models and inhibits calpain-dependent cleavage of substrates such as alpha-spectrin, making it a standard tool for studying calpain function in vitro.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for PD 151746 are limited; it is primarily used as an in vitro and cell-based research tool. Some studies have investigated its effects in models of cardiovascular disorders and hypertension. Further research is ongoing to explore its potential therapeutic applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For enzyme inhibition assays, micro-calpain and m-calpain are activated by calcium in the presence of a fluorogenic substrate (e.g., Suc-LLVY-AMC or casein). PD 151746 is added at concentrations ranging from 0.01-100 microM. Proteolytic activity is measured by fluorescence (excitation 380 nm, emission 460 nm) or absorbance, and Ki values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, HMEC-1 or other cells are cultured in dishes and exposed to oxLDL (200 microg/mL) or staurosporine (200 nM) for up to 20 hours. PD 151746 is co-treated at 20 microM. Cells are harvested for analysis of calpain activity, substrate cleavage (e.g., alpha-spectrin), and cell viability (e.g., MTT or LDH release assays).
|
| Animal Protocol |
For animal studies, PD 151746 is administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection or oral gavage (typically 1-30 mg/kg). Formulations commonly use DMSO/PEG300/Tween-80/saline. Tissues are collected for measurement of calpain activity, assessment of protein cleavage, and evaluation of tissue damage or functional outcomes.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PD 151746 is cell-permeable with moderate solubility in DMSO (≥50 mg/mL). For in vivo administration, it can be formulated using 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% saline. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life, bioavailability) have not been extensively reported; it is primarily used as an in vitro tool.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Comprehensive toxicological studies for PD 151746 have not been published. As a research chemical with sub-micromolar calpain inhibitory activity, it should be handled with standard laboratory precautions. It is not intended for human therapeutic use.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.77 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.77 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (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.
