Product Description
CBT-295 is an orally active Autotaxin (ATX) inhibitor. CBT-295 significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TGF-β, TNF-α, and IL-6, also reduced the bile duct proliferation marker CK-19, and alleviated liver fibrosis. CBT-295 reverses liver fibrosis resulting in lower blood and brain ammonia levels. CBT-295 also reduced ammonia-induced neuroinflammation. CBT-295 holds promise for research into cirrhosis and related encephalopathies.
CBT-295 (Chemical Name: 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-7-methyl-8-pentylimidazo[1,2-a] Pyrimidin-5(8H)-one) is an orally active, small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme autotaxin (ATX) [2L4-L6, L29-L30]. Autotaxin is a secreted lysophospholipase D that generates the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which is involved in various inflammatory processes and fibrosis. CBT-295 has been evaluated in preclinical models of chronic liver disease and associated hepatic encephalopathy [2L13-L16].
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CBT-295 specifically targets and inhibits autotaxin (ATX) [2L24-L25, L29-L30]. By inhibiting ATX, CBT-295 reduces the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a signaling molecule involved in inflammation, cell proliferation, and fibrosis. This mechanism of action positions CBT-295 as a potential therapeutic for treating chronic liver diseases and the neuroinflammatory complications associated with hepatic encephalopathy [2L29-L32].
ln Vitro
CBT-295 treatment results in a significant reduction in the levels of key pro-inflammatory cytokines, including transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cell-based and tissue models [2L7-L9]. It also reduces the expression of the bile duct proliferation marker CK-19, indicating an effect on cholangiocyte proliferation [2L8-L9]. These in vitro data demonstrate the compound's potent anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activity.
ln Vivo
In a rat model of bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced chronic liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy, oral administration of CBT-295 (20 mg/kg, twice daily for 28 days) lowered liver fibrosis, as evidenced by reduced collagen deposition and improved liver function test parameters (ALT, AST, ALP) [2L7-L10, L42-L44]. Furthermore, CBT-295 reduced blood and brain ammonia levels and diminished neuroinflammation, characterized by a significant reduction in brain cytokine levels [2L10-L12, L31-L32].
Enzyme Assay
The binding affinity of CBT-295 to autotaxin can be determined using a fluorescence-based enzymatic assay. Procedure: Purified human autotaxin (ATX) enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of CBT-295 (e.g., 0.1 nM to 10 microM) in a 96-well black plate. The substrate (e.g., FS-3, a fluorogenic LPA analog) is added to initiate the reaction. After incubation at 37degC for 30-60 minutes, the fluorescence intensity is measured (excitation 485 nm, emission 530 nm). The IC50 value is calculated by plotting percent inhibition versus log inhibitor concentration using a non-linear regression analysis.
Cell Assay
Anti-inflammatory activity can be assessed in primary macrophage cultures. Procedure: Bone marrow-derived macrophages are isolated from mice and seeded in 96-well plates. Cells are pre-treated with various concentrations of CBT-295 for 1 hour, then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Cell culture supernatants are collected, and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta, and TGF-beta) are quantified using commercial ELISA kits. Cytotoxicity is assessed using the MTT or LDH assay to ensure that observed cytokine reductions are not due to cell death.
Animal Protocol
Chronic liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy rat model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats undergo bile duct ligation (BDL) surgery to induce chronic liver injury and secondary hepatic encephalopathy. One week post-surgery, rats are orally administered CBT-295 (20 mg/kg, twice daily) or vehicle control for 28 days. At the end of the treatment period, blood samples are collected for liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP, albumin) and ammonia levels. Brain tissues are harvested for analysis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Liver tissues are collected for histological analysis (collagen staining, CK-19 immunohistochemistry) to assess fibrosis and bile duct proliferation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As an orally active compound, CBT-295 is designed for oral administration [2L24-L25, L29-L30]. While specific PK parameters (t1/2, Cmax, AUC, oral bioavailability) are not detailed in the search results, the demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a 28-day oral dosing study at 20 mg/kg BID confirms that the compound has sufficient systemic exposure to exert its pharmacological effects. This suggests favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties following oral administration in rats.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for CBT-295 from the 28-day BDL rat study showed that the compound was tolerated at the tested dose of 20 mg/kg BID. The study did not report any overt signs of systemic toxicity or adverse effects on overall animal health, as indicated by the analysis of plasma samples for liver function (ALT, AST, ALP) and albumin levels [2L42-L44]. However, a comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for further development.

Additional Infomation
CBT-295 represents a potential therapeutic strategy for chronic liver disease and associated hepatic encephalopathy by targeting the ATX-LPA pathway [2L29-L32]. Activation of the ATX-LPA axis is implicated in liver fibrosis, neuroinflammation, and the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy. By inhibiting ATX, CBT-295 reduces LPA production, leading to decreased inflammation and fibrosis. The research on CBT-295 highlights the therapeutic potential of ATX inhibitors for treating both the peripheral (liver) and central nervous system (CNS) complications of chronic liver disease. CBT-295 is a research-use only compound and is not yet an approved drug for human use.
