Product Description

Sacubitril (formerly known as AHU-377; Entresto) is a novel and potent NEP (neutral endopeptidase 24.11) inhibitor used in combination with valsartan (as LCZ696) for heart failure. It inhibits NEP with an IC50 of 5 nM. Sacubitril is a component of the heart failure medicine LCZ696 (sacubitril in combination with valsartan). Sacubitril is a prodrug that can be activated to LBQ657 by de-ethylation via esterases. LBQ657 inhibits the enzyme neprilysin, which is responsible for the degradation of atrial and brain natriuretic peptide, two blood pressure lowering peptides that work mainly by reducing blood volume.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The compound sacubitril (AHU-377) is a neprilysin inhibitor that is composed of the molecular moieties of valsartan (an ARB) and sacubitril (AHU-377) in a 1:1 ratio. Sacubitril (AHU-377) undergoes enzymatic cleavage of the ethyl ester to generate the active enkephalinase-inhibiting metabolite LBQ657 [2]. There is no inhibition of collagen formation in fibroblasts or cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by the inactive NEPi precursor Sacubitril (AHU-377). Active NEPi LBQ657 did not appear to have any effect on cardiac fibroblasts. Conversely, LBQ657 inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy to a moderate extent [3].
ln Vivo
ANF raised urine natriuresis in dogs treated with a vehicle from 17.3±3.6 to 199.5±18.4 pequivkglmin. The effects of sacubitril (AHU-377) were markedly amplified in the animals. Urine production is similarly increased in animals given intravenous Sacubitril (AHU-377) [1]. Sacubitril (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg, PO) pretreatment raised ANP-induced plasma cGMP levels in normotensive rats by 2.4, 3.3, and 4.0 folds, respectively (4-hour AUC compared to vehicle)[4]. In Dahl-SS rats, sacubitril (30 and 100 mg/kg, PO) has dose-dependent antihypertensive effects [4].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. 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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
