Alogliptin (SYR-322)

Cell lines

U937 histiocyte

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.

Reaction Conditions

5 nM, 48h, inhibited cell proliferation 1 nM, 48h, inhibited MMP-1 secretion

Applications

Alogliptin inhibited cell proliferation by 53% at concentration of 5 nM. At 1 nM, alogliptin inhibited MMP-1 secretion significantly, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of alogliptin on MMP is not associated with that on cell proliferation.

Animal models

Zucker fa/fa rats

Dosage form

Eight-week-old male Zucker fa/fa rats were divided into 5 groups based on body weight and fasting plasma glucose levels and administered vehicle alone (0.5% carboxymethylcellulose) or alogliptin at 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg by single bolus oral gavage (5 ml/kg dose volume). At 30 min postdose, rats were given a glucose solution (1 g/kg, 2ml/kg dose volume). Blood glucose concentrations were analyzed up to 90min after glucose load using the Accu-Chek glucometer and plasma insulin concentrations were analyzed up to 60 min after glucose load using an insulin ELISA kit.

Applications

Early-phase insulin secretion was increased after a single dose of alogliptin compared with vehicle alone. Alogliptin increased about 1.5, 1.5, and 1.8 fold for the 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg doses. Significant decreases in blood glucose excursion were observed for all alogliptin doses compared with vehicle alone after an oral glucose load. Mean baseline-adjusted blood glucose AUC0–90 min was decreased by approximately 31%, 37%, and 41% for the 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg doses, respectively.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
