Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Carphenoxyproline (6 mM; 0–10 days; pH=6.0) has been shown in long-term culturing of fibroblasts from patients with prolinase deficiency (PD) 33% to promote mitochondrial depolarization and accelerate cell death[1]. Fibroblast prolinase (FBP) is hydrolyzed by carphenoxyproline (0, 1, 3, 6 mM; 1 min; pH=6.0), exhibiting linear competitive inhibition [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In a mouse model, carphenoxyproline (60 mg/kg; injection; once daily; 3 weeks) inhibits erythrocyte prolinase in vivo [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57Bl/6J mice (4 weeks old) [1] Doses: 60 mg/kg Route of Administration: injection; one time/day for 3 weeks. Experimental Results: Result in a significant decrease in erythrocyte prolinase activity. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~401.19 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
