Bioactivity | UC-1728 is a potent rabbit soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2 nM on rabbit liver. |
Target | IC50: 2 nM (rabbit sHE). |
In Vivo | Miotic, fixed pupils are observed in the treated eyes of both groups receiving LPS injections but the difference in pupillary light reflex scores is only significantly increased in the UC-1728/LPS treated group relative to the PBS group at 6 h post-injection[1]. Pretreatment with UC-1728 (t-TUCB) at 10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o., significantly prevents ISO induced increase in heart weight and elevation of CK-MB and LDH levels (p<0.05), indicating its cardioprotective effect against ISO induced cardiac injury. At 3 mg/kg, p.o. UC-1728 only shows significant protection against heart weight changes. Pretreatment with UC-1728 at 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o., significantly reduces the ISO induced infarct size (p<0.05) when compared to control. The calculated percentage reductions for these doses are found to by 15.90, 46.60 and 40.44%, respectively[2]. Inhibition of sEH with UC-1728 is associated with a significant improvement in pain scores in one horse with laminitis whose pain is refractory to the standard of care therapy. No adverse effects are noticed[3]. |
