| Targets |
TPCK targets serine proteases, particularly chymotrypsin and related enzymes. It acts as an irreversible inhibitor by alkylating the active site histidine residue of the enzyme. The chloromethyl ketone moiety reacts covalently with the histidine residue, resulting in irreversible enzyme inactivation. It is used to study protease function and inhibition mechanisms.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, TPCK has been demonstrated to irreversibly inhibit chymotrypsin and related serine proteases. It is widely used in biochemical research to study protease function and to inhibit proteolytic activity in cell lysates and protein preparations. The compound shows specificity for chymotrypsin-like proteases.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data are limited. TPCK is primarily used as a research tool for in vitro studies. It is not used as a therapeutic agent. Its irreversible inhibition mechanism and potential toxicity limit its in vivo applications. It may be used in preclinical studies to investigate protease function.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For enzyme inhibition assays, TPCK is dissolved in DMSO or appropriate organic solvent and diluted in assay buffer. The target protease is incubated with varying concentrations of TPCK (0.1-100 µM) at 25-37°C for 15-60 minutes. Residual enzyme activity is measured using chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates. Inhibition kinetics and IC₅₀ values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based studies, cells are cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS at 37°C in 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with TPCK at 1-100 µM for 1-24 hours. Protease inhibition is assessed by measuring enzyme activity in cell lysates. Cellular effects are assessed using appropriate assays including viability, apoptosis, and protein expression analysis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
TPCK is not typically used for in vivo animal studies as a therapeutic agent. It may be used in preclinical studies to investigate the role of serine proteases in disease models. For such studies, it is formulated in suitable vehicles and administered to rodents. Efficacy and toxicity are monitored.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
TPCK has a molecular weight of 351.85 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₇H₁₈ClNO₃S. It appears as a white to off-white solid powder. It has a PubChem CID of 9824. It is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. Storage: at -20°C.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Acute toxicity: TPCK is a reactive alkylating agent and should be handled with extreme care. It may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. It is potentially toxic and may be mutagenic. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed. Proper personal protective equipment should be used.
|

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).

Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
