Product Description
Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 (Compound 8) is a proline endopeptidase (PEP) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 31.11 μM. Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases.
Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 (Compound 8) is a potent and selective inhibitor of prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, also known as PREP), a serine protease. It has an IC50 value of 31.11 microM for PEP inhibition. The molecular formula is C4₆H32Br2N₈O2, with a molecular weight of 888.61. This compound is used in research focused on neurodegenerative diseases due to the role of PEP in the metabolism of neuropeptides and other substrates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 targets prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26), also known as prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP). PEP is a serine protease that cleaves peptide bonds at the C-terminal side of proline residues in peptides smaller than 30 amino acids. Substrates include neuropeptides such as arginine-vasopressin, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and substance P, as well as peptides involved in learning, memory, and cell proliferation. Inhibition of PEP may influence these neuropeptide levels.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 (Compound 8) has been characterized as a prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 31.11 microM. This potency indicates that it is a relatively moderate inhibitor of PEP activity. No specific cellular activity data (e.g., effects on neuropeptide levels in neuronal cultures) are reported in the search results. The compound is a chemical tool for studying the biological roles of PEP in cellular models of neurodegenerative diseases.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity data for Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 are reported in the search results. However, based on its mechanism of action as a PEP inhibitor, it has potential applications in research models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In animal models, PEP inhibitors can affect memory and learning by increasing the levels of certain neuropeptides. Specific dosing and efficacy data are not available from the search results.
Enzyme Assay
The binding of Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 to PEP is measured by standard in vitro enzyme activity assays using purified recombinant PEP enzyme. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and a specific fluorogenic peptide substrate, typically Suc-Gly-Pro-AMC (succinyl-glycyl-proline-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin). Substrate cleavage by PEP releases the fluorescent AMC group, which is measured at λex=380 nm and λem=460 nm. The IC50 value (31.11 microM) is calculated from dose-response curves (0.1-1000 microM) by measuring the decrease in fluorescence over time.
Cell Assay
No cellular experiments for Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 are described in the search results. For cellular studies of PEP inhibition, human neuroblastoma cell lines (e.g., SH-SY5Y, IMR-32) or primary cortical neurons would be seeded in 6- or 96-well plates. Cells would be treated with the compound at graded concentrations (1-100 microM) for 24-72 hours. PEP activity in cell lysates would be measured using the Suc-Gly-Pro-AMC fluorogenic substrate. Cellular levels of PEP substrates such as substance P, TRH, or vasopressin would be measured by ELISA. Cell viability would be assessed by MTT or LDH assays.
Animal Protocol
No animal experiments for Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 are described in the search results. For in vivo evaluation of PEP inhibition in neurodegenerative disease models, 6-8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice or transgenic mouse models (e.g., 5xFAD for Alzheimer‘s disease, MPTP-treated for Parkinson‘s disease) would be used. The compound would be administered intraperitoneally (IP, 10-50 mg/kg) or orally (20-100 mg/kg) daily for 2-4 weeks. After treatment, brain regions (cortex, hippocampus, striatum) would be collected. PEP activity would be measured in brain homogenates using the fluorogenic substrate. Levels of neuropeptides (substance P, TRH, vasopressin) would be quantified by ELISA. Behavioral tests (Morris water maze for memory, rotarod for motor function) would be performed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 (C4₆H32Br2N₈O2, MW = 888.61, CAS 2362592-81-0) is a solid powder. For storage, the compound should be kept at 4degC and protected from light. For in vitro use, stock solutions in DMSO (10-50 mM) can be stored at -20degC for up to 1 month or at -80degC for up to 6 months. For in vivo use, it can be formulated in 10% DMSO / 40% PEG300 / 5% Tween-80 / 45% saline or 0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween-80. Purity is typically ≥98% (HPLC). No detailed PK parameters (oral bioavailability, Cmax, Tmax, half-life) are reported.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data for Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 are reported in the search results. As a research-grade compound, it is not intended for human or veterinary use. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling chemicals should be followed, including the use of gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. No LD50 or formal toxicology studies are available. The compound contains bromine atoms, which may contribute to potential toxicity.

Additional Infomation
Prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, also known as prolyl oligopeptidase, PREP) is a serine protease that cleaves proline-containing peptides. PEP is highly expressed in the brain and is thought to be involved in the metabolism of neuropeptides that regulate learning and memory. PEP inhibitors have been investigated as potential therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor 2 (Compound 8) is a research-use only tool for studying these conditions. It has not entered clinical trials or received regulatory approval. It is available from chemical suppliers with purity typically ≥98%.
