Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | GGsTop, also known as Nahlsgen or compound 5a, is a strong, extremely selective, and irreversible inhibitor of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), exhibiting a Ki of 170 μM for human GGT [1]. GGsTop demonstrates a pKa of 9.71 and Kons against the GGT of E. coli and humans, which are 150±10 and 51±3 M-1 s-1, respectively[1][2]. GGsTop is a non-toxic substance that, at 1 mM, totally inhibits WT human GGT in less than a minute [2]. However, it is less efficient against the K562S mutant. |
| ln Vivo | Rats' ALT, AST, and γ-GT levels can be decreased by GGsTop (1 mg/kg) at 12, 24, and 48 hours following ischemia-reperfusion [3]. Moreover, GGsTop can lessen rat liver necrosis and the generation of 4-HNE and TNF-α [3]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male rats (9 weeks old) [3] Doses: 1 mg/kg Route of Administration: Inferior vena cava injection for 12, 24, 48 hrs (hrs (hours)) Experimental Results: Reduce serum ALT and AST levels, prevent serum elevation IR-GGsTop γ-GT levels in the group. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~301.88 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.55 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 (7.55 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 (7.55 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.) |
