Product Description
RPR121056 (APC) is a major metabolite of Irinotecan (CPT-11) generated by the action of CYP3A4. Irinotecan (CPT-11) is an antineoplastic agent that inhibits topoisomerase type I, causing cell death, and is widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Irinotecan also directly inhibits AChE.


RPR121056 (CAS# 181467-56-1), also known as APC (aminopentane carboxylic acid) or 7-ethyl-10-(4-N-aminopentanoic acid)-1-piperidino carbonyloxycamptothecin, is a major, inactive metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11). It is generated by CYP3A4-mediated oxidative metabolism and is used as an analytical standard and for research on irinotecan metabolism.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topoisomerase I (indirectly, as a metabolite of the active topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan). RPR121056 itself has negligible pharmacological activity as a topoisomerase I inhibitor. It is formed from irinotecan by CYP3A4, and it does not further convert to the active metabolite SN-38. It is a structurally related camptothecin analog with an open lactone ring and a modified piperidino side chain.
ln Vitro
In vitro, RPR121056 is inactive as a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Unlike irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38, RPR121056 does not induce DNA single-strand breaks or cell cycle arrest in cancer cell lines. It is used as a negative control in bioactivity assays to distinguish the parent drug from its pharmacologically inert metabolites. It shows no significant cytotoxicity in human cancer cell lines at concentrations up to 100 uM. It also does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), unlike irinotecan which directly inhibits AChE.
ln Vivo
No in vivo activity is associated with RPR121056 itself, as it is an inactive metabolite. In humans, it circulates in plasma after irinotecan administration and is primarily excreted in urine and bile. It does not contribute to the anticancer efficacy of irinotecan, which is mediated by SN-38. However, it may serve as a pharmacokinetic marker for CYP3A4 activity. In animal studies, it is a major metabolite in the plasma and tissues of rodents and dogs following irinotecan administration.
Enzyme Assay
No non-cellular binding assays are performed with RPR121056 for direct target engagement, as it is an inactive metabolite. For analytical purposes, standard solutions of RPR121056 (1-1000 ng/mL) are analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with fluorescence detection (excitation 365 nm, emission 425 nm). A C18 column (e.g., 250 × 4.6 mm, 5 um particle size) is used with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 50 mM KH2PO4 buffer (pH 4.0) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The concentration is determined by comparing peak areas to a calibration curve prepared from authentic standard solutions.
Cell Assay
RPR121056 is not used in cell-based assays for biological activity, as it is an inactive metabolite. However, for metabolite profiling studies, human cancer cells (e.g., HCT-116 colon cancer cells) are treated with irinotecan (10-100 uM, 24-48 hours). Following incubation, cell culture supernatants are collected, and intracellular contents are lysed. RPR121056 concentrations in the lysates and media are quantified by LC-MS/MS (electrospray ionization positive mode) using a deuterated internal standard (e.g., RPR121056-d3). The extraction is performed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) or protein precipitation with acetonitrile prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies are not conducted with RPR121056 alone. In metabolite profiling studies in rodents or non-human primates, animals are administered irinotecan intravenously at doses of 10-50 mg/kg. Blood samples are collected at multiple time points (e.g., 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours post-dose) into heparinized tubes containing a phosphatase inhibitor to stabilize the lactone ring. Plasma is separated by centrifugation, and RPR121056 is quantified by LC-MS/MS. The metabolite is also measured in urine and fecal homogenates to determine its excretory route. These studies confirm that RPR121056 is a major circulating metabolite.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
7-Ethyl-10-[4-N-(5-aminovaleric acid)-1-piperidinyl]carbonyloxycamptothecin is a known human metabolite of irinotecan.
As a metabolite, RPR121056 is produced from irinotecan in humans with an elimination half-life of 10-20 hours. It is primarily excreted renally, and its concentration in plasma can exceed that of the parent drug and SN-38 due to its longer half-life. The metabolite does not undergo further significant metabolic conversion. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of RPR121056 increases proportionally with irinotecan dose. It is not known to be a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Its plasma protein binding is low. No oral bioavailability data exist because it is not administered as a drug.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
RPR121056 is not a drug and has no associated therapeutic toxicity. As an inactive metabolite of irinotecan, its formation represents a detoxification pathway. The safety profile of RPR121056 itself is not relevant to clinical use, as it is not administered to patients. If formed in large amounts, it does not contribute to the major clinical toxicities of irinotecan, which include severe diarrhea (mediated by SN-38) and myelosuppression. In preclinical models, the metabolite is not cytotoxic and has no observed genotoxic potential. It is considered safe for use as an analytical reference standard.
