pKi: 7.6 (MCT-1) and 6.6 (MCT-2)[1]
AR-C141990 hydrochloride specifically targets the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1, also known as SLC16A1). It acts as a selective inhibitor, demonstrating a pKi value of 7.6 for MCT1, which translates to a Ki value of approximately 25 nM. It also shows affinity for MCT2 (pKi = 6.6; Ki ≈ 250 nM), indicating it has approximately 10-fold selectivity for MCT1 over MCT2. It has no significant activity against MCT3 or MCT4, making it a selective MCT1 inhibitor.. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
There is no discernible efficacy of AR-C141990 hydrochloride against MCT-3 (pIC50<5) or MCT-4 (pIC50<5)[1]. With IC50s of 0.21 µM and 2.32 µM, respectively, AR-C141990 hydrochloride reduces the absorption of [3H]HOCPCA in oocytes expressing MCT1 or 2 in a concentration-dependent manner[2].
In vitro, AR-C141990 hydrochloride is a potent MCT1 inhibitor with a pKi of 7.6. It exhibits approximately 10-fold selectivity for MCT1 over MCT2 and no significant activity against MCT3 or MCT4.. This compound is designed to inhibit the import of lactate and other monocarboxylates into cells, which is a key metabolic pathway for cancer cells that rely on oxidative metabolism. |
| ln Vivo |
In male NMRI mice (18-22 g), AR-C141990 hydrochloride (10 mg/kg; SC) has a half-life of around 20 minutes and decreases in plasma concentrations concurrently [2]. The use of AR-C141990 hydrochloride at relevant plasma concentrations (0.3-90 mg/kg) causes a concentration-dependent reduction in HOCPCA's B/P, with an EC50 of 860 ng/ml[2]. In PVG rats receiving DA heart transplants, AR-C141990 (100 mg/kg; sc) exhibits a moderate extension of graft survival for 40 days[1].
Specific in vivo activity data for AR-C141990 hydrochloride has not been detailed in the provided search results. As a potent and selective MCT1 inhibitor, it is hypothesized to suppress tumor growth in animal models of cancer (e.g., xenograft models) where the cancer cells express high levels of MCT1. By blocking lactate import, the compound would deprive the tumor of a critical fuel source, potentially leading to reduced proliferation and necrosis. It may also be studied in models of exercise physiology or neurobiology due to the role of MCTs in lactate shuttling. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The standard in vitro protocol for MCT inhibition is a radiolabeled substrate uptake assay using cells expressing the specific MCT isoforms. HEK-293 cells stably expressing human MCT1 (and its ancillary protein CD147, which is required for surface trafficking) are seeded in 24-well plates. After reaching confluency, the cells are washed and pre-incubated with varying concentrations of AR-C141990 hydrochloride (0.1-10000 nM) in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 1 mM CaCl2, 140 mM NaCl) for 15 minutes. The reaction is initiated by adding 100 uM of L-[14C]-lactic acid (1 uCi/mL) and incubated for 2-5 minutes. The uptake is terminated by washing the cells three times with ice-cold PBS containing 0.1 mM of a non-specific MCT inhibitor (e.g., AR-C155858). The cells are lysed with 0.2 N NaOH, and the radioactivity is counted. The pKi (7.6) is calculated by converting the Ki value derived from the inhibition curve.

| Cell Assay |
The in vitro cellular assay for AR-C141990 hydrochloride involves the use of cancer cell lines that are known to be highly dependent on lactate import for survival and proliferation, such as the human colon cancer cell line HCT-116 or the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 (which rely on oxidative metabolism). Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in glucose-free medium containing 10 mM lactate as the primary carbon source. Varying concentrations of AR-C141990 hydrochloride (0.01-10000 nM) are added to the cells for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured using a standard MTT assay or CellTiter-Glo assay. The reduction in viability indicates the degree of metabolic reliance on MCT1-mediated lactate import. Alternatively, extracellular lactate levels in the culture medium can be measured using a lactate assay kit.

| Animal Protocol |
An in vivo protocol for AR-C141990 hydrochloride would involve a subcutaneous xenograft model of a cancer known to rely on MCT1. For example, female BALB/c nude mice are inoculated with HCT-116 colon cancer cells. When tumors reach an average volume of 150-200 mm3, mice are randomized into groups. AR-C141990 hydrochloride is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO/40% PEG300/5% Tween-80/45% saline) and administered orally (PO) by gavage at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, twice daily (BID). Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly with calipers. Tumor tissues are harvested at the end of the study and analyzed for ATP levels, lactate concentration, and markers of apoptosis (e.g., cleaved caspase-3 by Western blotting or immunohistochemistry). The primary endpoint is the reduction in tumor volume. AR-C141990 is selective for MCT1, so it would be active only in tumors that do not upregulate MCT4 as a compensatory mechanism.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) data for AR-C141990 hydrochloride is not provided. As a small molecule with a molecular weight of 529.05 g/mol, it is likely designed for oral administration.. A standard PK study in mice would involve oral (PO) administration (10 mg/kg) and intravenous (IV) administration (1 mg/kg). Serial blood samples are collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of the compound are quantified by LC-MS/MS. Key parameters, including terminal half-life (T1/2), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC), and oral bioavailability (F%), would be calculated. The compound is likely metabolized by the liver.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicological data for AR-C141990 hydrochloride is not available. As an MCT1 inhibitor, the primary safety concern is the potential for lactic acidosis, particularly in the brain and heart, as these organs use lactate as a fuel source. Additionally, MCT1 is highly expressed on the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells, and inhibition could cause diarrhea or malabsorption. Standard safety assessment would include a 14-day repeat-dose oral toxicity study in rats to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL). Key endpoints would include monitoring of serum lactate and pH levels, neurological assessments (to detect CNS toxicity), and histopathological examination of the heart, brain, and intestine.

| Additional Infomation |
AR-C141990 hydrochloride is a research-grade chemical and is not approved for clinical use. It is a potent and selective inhibitor of the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), a protein responsible for the import of lactate into cells. Its selectivity for MCT1 over MCT2 (10-fold) and MCT3/4 (inactive) makes it a valuable tool for studying the role of lactate transport in cancer metabolism, exercise physiology, and neurobiology. It is for research use only.
