IC50: 20 nM (hARG1), 39 nM (hARG2), 39 nM (mARG1), 28 nM (rARG1)
Arginase 1 (ARG1) and Arginase 2 (ARG2), which are enzymes in the urea cycle that hydrolyze L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free enzymatic assays, OATD-02 hydrochloride has IC50 values of 20 nM for human ARG1, 39 nM for human ARG2, 39 nM for mouse ARG1, and 28 nM for rat ARG1, demonstrating its potent inhibitory activity across species.
|
| ln Vivo |
In cancer cells, OATD-02 hydrochloride eliminates tumor immunosuppression induced by both arginases. In vitro, it has been shown to interfere with multiple immunosuppressive mechanisms driven by ARG1 and ARG2, thereby restoring effective antitumor immune responses.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A general protocol for evaluating ARG1 and ARG2 inhibition involves a colorimetric enzyme assay. Recombinant human ARG1 or ARG2 enzyme is incubated with various concentrations of the inhibitor (e.g., OATD-02 hydrochloride) in a reaction buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5) at 37degC for 10 minutes. The substrate, L-arginine, is then added to a final concentration of 3 mM, and the reaction is further incubated at 37degC for 60 minutes. The reaction is terminated by the addition of a colorimetric detection reagent, which reacts with the produced urea to form a colored product. The absorbance is measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The IC50 value is calculated from the inhibition curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
A general protocol for evaluating the cellular activity of arginase inhibitors is to measure L-arginine consumption and urea production in cancer cells or macrophages, which are known to upregulate arginase expression. Cells (e.g., melanoma or myeloid-derived suppressor cells) are seeded in 24-well plates and treated with various concentrations of the test compound (e.g., OATD-02 hydrochloride) for 24 to 72 hours. Cell culture supernatants are collected, and arginase activity is measured by quantifying the amount of urea produced using colorimetric assays. The effect on L-arginine levels can also be measured. A decrease in urea production and an increase in L-arginine levels indicate cellular arginase inhibition.

| Animal Protocol |
A general protocol for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of OATD-02 hydrochloride involves a mouse xenograft model of melanoma. Immunocompromised or syngeneic mice are subcutaneously injected with B16-F10 melanoma cells. When the tumor volume reaches approximately 100-200 mm3, the mice are randomized into treatment and control groups. OATD-02 hydrochloride is administered orally once or twice daily at a dose of 10-100 mg/kg for 14-21 days. Tumor volume and body weight are measured every 2-3 days. At the end of the study, tumors are collected for Western blot analysis to assess arginase expression and for flow cytometry to analyze the tumor immune microenvironment (e.g., T-cell infiltration).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
A general protocol for evaluating the pharmacokinetic properties of OATD-02 involves administering a single dose orally (PO) and intravenously (IV) to male CD-1 mice. Blood samples are collected at various time points (e.g., 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours) post-dose. Plasma concentrations of OATD-02 are quantified by a validated LC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and oral bioavailability (F%), are calculated using non-compartmental analysis. OATD-02 is described as orally available, so this data would confirm its absorption and exposure profile.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
General toxicity studies for OATD-02 would be performed in rodents. Sprague-Dawley rats would be administered OATD-02 hydrochloride orally at various dose levels (e.g., 50, 150, and 300 mg/kg/day) for 14 consecutive days. Clinical observations, body weight, and food consumption would be recorded daily. At the end of the study, blood samples would be collected for hematology and clinical chemistry analysis. Vital organs (liver, kidney, heart, etc.) would be harvested and weighed for histopathological examination. The no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) would be determined based on the results.

| Additional Infomation |
OATD-02 is developed by OncoArendi Therapeutics. It is the first-in-class dual arginase inhibitor to enter human clinical trials. Phase I clinical trials have been initiated in patients with advanced solid tumors, including melanoma, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
