| Targets |
TES-991 targets human alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde decarboxylase (ACMSD), a key enzyme in the tryptophan catabolism pathway that regulates NAD+ biosynthesis. ACMSD catalyzes the decarboxylation of alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde, diverting tryptophan metabolites away from the de novo NAD+ synthesis pathway. TES-991 inhibits ACMSD with an IC50 of 3 nM, thereby blocking this diversion and increasing flux through the NAD+ biosynthesis pathway, leading to elevated intracellular NAD+ levels.

| ln Vitro |
The ability of TES-991 (compound 21) to dramatically raise intracellular NAD+ levels provides more evidence for its mode of action. Cytochrome P450 2C19 is inhibited by TES-991, indicating that the 2H-tetrazole motif may be implicated in this interaction [1].
In vitro, TES-991 potently inhibits human ACMSD with an IC50 of 3 nM. The compound's potent inhibition of ACMSD leads to increased intracellular NAD+ levels by modulating tryptophan metabolism. TES-991 is a novel, potent, and selective ACMSD inhibitor. Its in vitro activity has been characterized in enzymatic assays using purified recombinant ACMSD. The compound is used as a research tool to study NAD+ metabolism and its role in cellular physiology. |
| ln Vivo |
TES-991 (compound 21) demonstrated low blood clearance, low volume of distribution, and half-lives (t1/2) of roughly 4.0 and 5.0 hours following an intravenous injection of 0.5 mg/kg; however, following oral administration of 5 mg/kg, TES- Blood concentrations of 991 can be measured for up to 8 hours. Good systemic exposure was documented with the free acid, while moderate systemic exposure was noted with the 2H-tetrazole analogue TES-991 [1].
Detailed in vivo activity data for TES-991 are not extensively documented in publicly available literature. As an ACMSD inhibitor that increases NAD+ levels, TES-991 is being investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in aging, metabolic diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. By increasing NAD+ levels, the compound may activate sirtuins and other NAD+-dependent enzymes that play roles in cellular metabolism, stress resistance, and longevity. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Enzyme activity assays for TES-991 are performed using purified recombinant human ACMSD. ACMSD activity is measured by monitoring the decarboxylation of alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde (ACMS) to picolinic acid. TES-991 is incubated with the enzyme and substrate at varying concentrations in appropriate assay buffer. The reaction is stopped, and product formation is quantified by HPLC or LC-MS. IC50 values are calculated from concentration-response curves. Nonspecific activity is determined in control reactions without inhibitor.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for TES-991 are performed using cell lines that express ACMSD, such as hepatocytes or neuronal cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with TES-991 at varying concentrations for defined time periods. Intracellular NAD+ levels are measured using enzymatic cycling assays or LC-MS. The effects on NAD+-dependent processes such as sirtuin activity are assessed by measuring the acetylation status of sirtuin substrates by Western blot. Cell viability and proliferation may also be assessed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with TES-991 are conducted in animal models to evaluate the compound's ability to increase NAD+ levels and modulate metabolism. TES-991 is administered via appropriate routes (e.g., oral or intraperitoneal) at defined doses and schedules. NAD+ levels in tissues such as liver, brain, and muscle are measured by LC-MS. Metabolic parameters such as glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity may be assessed. The compound's effects on aging and age-related diseases are being investigated.
