DAPT (GSI-IX)
DAPT, N-[N-(3,5-Difluorophenacetyl)-L-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl Ester, is a potent and specific inhibitor of? γ-secretase, a multimeric membrane protein complex that catalyzes proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) resulting in the accumulation of amyloi-β (Aβ) peptides which is associated with early on-set of familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It directly binds to the C-terminal fragment of the catalytic center of γ-secretase, presenilin (PS), especially within the transmenbrane domain 7 or more C-terminal region, resulting in the synthesis of a photoactivable DAPT derivative. Through oral administration, DAPT? dose-dependently reduced Aβ peptides levels in vivo in Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in young (6 months old, plaque-free) and aged (17 months old, plaque-bearing) Tg2576 mice.

General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
SHG -44 human glioma cell line |
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 |
5d; 1.0 μM |
Applications |
Cell viability in each group was detected by MTT. Compared with those in group A (control), proliferation of SHG -44 cells in group B (0.5 μM), C (1μM), D (5 μM) and E (10 μM) were inhibited by DAPT. For group B and A, the results were significantly different (P0.05). It indicated that DAPT is a concentration-dependent inhibitor that may obviously inhibit SHG-44 cells proliferation. As concentration of DAPT higher than 1.0 μmol/L showed no more obvious disparities in cell inhibition, concentration of 1.0 μmol/L was our prioriy. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
Male Balb/C mice |
Dosage form |
10 mg/kg/day; subcutaneously injected |
Applications |
CT26 colon adenocarcinoma cells (5 × 105 cells) in 500 μL of Phosphate buffer solution (PBS) were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsum of all mice. Administration of DAPT significantly reduced serum sVEGFR1, while could not change serum VEGF concentration in control mice. Immunohistochemical study of the tumors showed that CD31 positive cells were reduced after DAPT administration (280.6 ± 81 vs. 386 ± 59.9 CD31 positive cells/mm2), although it was not statistically significant. |
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. |
