Product Description
T-518 is an orally active, selective and blood-brain barrier permeable HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 36 nM for human HDAC6. T-581 can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases.
T‑518 is an orally active, selective, blood‑brain barrier (BBB)‑permeable inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) with an IC₅0 of 36 nM for human HDAC6. It is a DFMO‑based non‑hydroxamate HDAC6 inhibitor. T‑518 is being researched for tauopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases, as HDAC6 inhibition may modulate tau pathology, improve axonal transport, and reduce neurodegenerative processes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
hHDAC6 36 nM (IC50)
HDAC6 (histone deacetylase 6). T‑518 is a selective, non‑hydroxamate, DFMO‑based HDAC6 inhibitor.
ln Vitro
In cell‑free enzymatic assays, T‑518 inhibits HDAC6 with an IC₅0 of 36 nM for human HDAC6. It is a selective HDAC6 inhibitor. In cellular assays, T‑518 increases acetylation of alpha‑tubulin (the primary substrate of HDAC6) and improves axonal transport. The compound is BBB‑permeable, making it suitable for central nervous system applications.
ln Vivo
T‑518 has been shown to improve axonal transport in cellular models and has the potential to modulate tau pathology in vivo. As a BBB‑permeable HDAC6 inhibitor, it can be used in research on tauopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases. HDAC6 inhibition may reduce tau aggregation and improve the clearance of pathological tau species.
Enzyme Assay
A general cell‑free protocol for HDAC6 inhibition is used as described for SE‑7552 (see V88666 field 5). Recombinant human HDAC6 enzyme (10‑50 nM) is incubated with a fluorogenic acetylated peptide substrate (Boc‑Lys(Ac)-AMC, 50 uM) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris‑HCl, pH 8.0, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mg/mL BSA) with varying concentrations of T‑518 (0.01 nM to 10 uM) at 37degC for 30 minutes. The reaction is stopped with developer solution containing trypsin. The AMC fluorescence is measured (excitation 380 nm, emission 460 nm). The IC₅0 (36 nM) is calculated. For selectivity profiling, T‑518 is tested against a panel of 11 HDAC isozymes.
Cell Assay
A general cellular protocol for BBB‑permeable HDAC6 inhibitors: Primary neurons (e.g., rat cortical neurons or human iPSC‑derived neurons) are seeded in 12‑well plates. Cells are treated with T‑518 at concentrations of 0.01‑10 uM for 24‑48 hours. For assessment of alpha‑tubulin acetylation, cells are lysed and subjected to Western blot with anti‑acetyl‑alpha‑tubulin (Lys40) and anti‑total‑alpha‑tubulin antibodies. For axonal transport assays, neurons are cultured in microfluidic chambers, and the transport of fluorescently labeled vesicles (e.g., mitochondria labeled with MitoTracker) is tracked by live‑cell imaging. The rate and distance of axonal transport are quantified. For tauopathy models, neurons expressing mutant tau (e.g., P301L tau) are treated with T‑518, and tau acetylation, tau aggregation, and cell viability are assessed.
Animal Protocol
A general animal protocol for T‑518 in a tauopathy model: Male transgenic mice expressing mutant human tau (e.g., P301S mice (PS19 line) or rTg4510 mice) are used as a model of tauopathy and Alzheimer‘s disease. At 3‑6 months of age, before the onset of significant tau pathology, mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=10‑12 per group). T‑518 is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween‑80, 45% saline) and administered via oral gavage at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg once daily for 3‑6 months. Alternatively, for acute studies, T‑518 can be administered intraperitoneally (IP) at 10 mg/kg. At the end of the study, mice are euthanized, and brain and spinal cord tissues are harvested. Tau pathology is assessed by IHC (anti‑phospho‑tau antibodies: AT8, AT180, PHF1), biochemical fractionation (sarkosyl‑insoluble tau), and ELISA (total tau, phospho‑tau). Acetylated alpha‑tubulin levels are measured by Western blot. Axonal integrity is assessed by IHC for neurofilament proteins. Behavioral tests (Morris water maze, Y‑maze, rotarod) are performed to assess cognitive and motor function.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General PK protocol for T‑518: Male Sprague‑Dawley rats are administered T‑518 via oral gavage (PO, 10 mg/kg) and intravenous (IV, 2 mg/kg). Blood samples are collected at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours. Additionally, brain tissue is collected at selected time points to assess the brain‑to‑plasma ratio (Kp). Plasma and brain homogenate concentrations are quantified by LC‑MS/MS. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t½, clearance, Vd, oral bioavailability, Kp) are calculated. The compound is BBB‑permeable, so significant brain exposure is expected.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity protocol for T‑518: A 28‑day repeat‑dose oral toxicity study is performed in Sprague‑Dawley rats. T‑518 is administered via oral gavage at doses of 5, 15, and 50 mg/kg/day for 28 days. Parameters include clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, functional observation battery (neurobehavioral assessment), hematology (complete blood count, differential), serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine, CK), and histopathology of major organs with special attention to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscle. Because HDAC6 is involved in immune function, potential effects on the spleen and thymus are also examined.

Additional Infomation
HDAC6 is a class IIb deacetylase that primarily deacetylates alpha‑tubulin, tau, and other cytoplasmic proteins. Inhibition of HDAC6 increases alpha‑tubulin acetylation, which enhances microtubule stability and axonal transport. In tauopathies (including Alzheimer‘s disease), HDAC6 is upregulated and contributes to tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation. T‑518 is a DFMO‑based non‑hydroxamate HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC₅0 of 36 nM. The molecular formula is C1₉H1₆F₇N₅O3, and the molecular weight is 495.35 g/mol. The compound is stored at -20degC as a powder. For research use only; not for human use.
