Product Description
11β-HSD1-IN-8 (compound c6a) is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of 11β-HSD1 with IC50 of 2.3 μM for human 11β-HSD1. 11β-HSD1-IN-8 may be utilized to study diabetes and cognitive decline.
11β-HSD1-IN-8 (CAS#: 386704-15-0) is a small-molecule inhibitor of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), an enzyme that converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol. Also referred to as compound c6a, the compound has a molecular formula of C10H8F3NO3 and a molecular weight of 247.17. 11β-HSD1-IN-8 is used in research to study the role of 11β-HSD1 in diabetes, cognitive decline, and other conditions associated with glucocorticoid excess. The compound is a solid and is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL (404.58 mM) with ultrasonic assistance.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IC50: 2.3 μM (human 11β‑HSD)[1]
The primary target of 11β-HSD1-IN-8 is 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), a key enzyme in glucocorticoid metabolism that regenerates active cortisol from inactive cortisone. The compound inhibits human 11β-HSD1 with an IC50 value of 2.3 μM. Against rat 11β-HSD1, the compound shows significantly weaker inhibition, with an IC50 value greater than 50 μM. This species selectivity makes the compound a useful tool for studying human 11β-HSD1 in research settings.
ln Vitro
11β-HSD1-IN-8 (0-50 μM) inhibits 11β‑HSD1 in rats and humans, with IC50 values of >50 μM and 2.3 μM, respectively[1].
In vitro, 11β-HSD1-IN-8 (0-50 μM) inhibits human 11β-HSD1 with an IC50 value of 2.3 μM. Against rat 11β-HSD1, the compound shows an IC50 value greater than 50 μM, indicating significant species selectivity. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL (404.58 mM). These in vitro data suggest that 11β-HSD1-IN-8 is a moderately potent inhibitor with preferential activity against the human enzyme.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 11β-HSD1-IN-8 are not extensively reported in the available literature. However, based on its mechanism of action as a 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, the compound is expected to reduce local cortisol production in target tissues, which may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce hepatic gluconeogenesis, and attenuate glucocorticoid-mediated cognitive impairment in animal models. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for 11β-HSD1 inhibitors typically involves measuring the conversion of cortisone to cortisol using recombinant human or rat 11β-HSD1 enzyme. The assay is performed in a suitable buffer system (e.g., Tris-HCl, pH 7.4) containing NADPH as a cofactor. Test compounds are incubated with the enzyme and substrate at various concentrations (e.g., 0-50 μM), and the reaction is terminated after a specified incubation period. The amount of cortisol produced is quantified using ELISA, mass spectrometry, or radiometric detection methods. IC50 values are calculated by fitting dose-response curves to the inhibition data.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for 11β-HSD1 inhibitors typically use cell lines that endogenously express 11β-HSD1, such as hepatocytes (e.g., HepG2) or adipocytes. Cells are treated with the test compound at various concentrations in the presence of cortisone substrate. After incubation, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol is measured in the cell culture medium using ELISA or LC-MS/MS. The cellular IC50 reflects the compound's ability to inhibit the enzyme in a physiologically relevant cellular context, accounting for cell permeability and intracellular metabolism.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 11β-HSD1 inhibitors typically involve oral or intraperitoneal administration of the test compound to rodent models (e.g., mice or rats) that are either healthy or have diet-induced obesity or diabetes. Following treatment, blood and tissue samples are collected to measure cortisol levels, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and hepatic enzyme expression. The compound's ability to reduce tissue-specific cortisol production and improve metabolic parameters is assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a small-molecule inhibitor, the pharmacokinetic properties of 11β-HSD1-IN-8 would depend on its physicochemical characteristics. The compound has a molecular weight of 247.17 and is soluble in DMSO. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution are not available in the public domain. For research purposes, the compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C (up to 3 years) or in solution at -80°C (up to 6 months).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
There is no specific toxicity data reported for 11β-HSD1-IN-8 in the available literature. As a research chemical, the compound is intended for laboratory use only and should be handled with standard safety precautions. Toxicity studies, including acute and sub-chronic dosing in animal models, would be required to establish a safety profile if the compound were to be developed further.
