Product Description

Sodium phenylbutyrate (4-Phenylbutyric acid sodium; 4-PBA sodium), an orphan drug marketed by Ucyclyd Pharma, is a novel and potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor used as an as adjunctive therapy for chronic treatment of urea cycle disorders involving deficiencies of argininosuccinic acid synthetase (AS), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), or carbamylphosphate synthetase (CPS). Because metabolites of sodium phenylbutyrate offer an alternative pathway to the urea cycle for the excretion of excess nitrogen. It has strong anti-cancer properties as well.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HDAC/Histone Deacetylases
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Phenylbutyrate is a well-known HDAC inhibitor that has neuroprotective properties in addition to increasing the transcription of several genes. In the substantia nigra, phenylbutyrate significantly reduces the effects of MPTP-induced striatal dopamine depletion and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neuronal loss.[1] In prostate cancer cells, phenylbutyrate reduces the expression of the pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor, the pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor, the prostate progression marker caveolin-1, and the double-strand break repair protein DNA-dependent protein kinase. It is discovered that phenylbutyrate and ionizing radiation work together to cause prostate cancer cells to undergo apoptosis.[2]

ln Vivo
Phenylbutyrate greatly increases survival and improves both the clinical and neuropathological phenotypes in G93A transgenic ALS mice. Administration of phenylbutyrate reduces the expression of cytochrome c and caspase, but ameliorates the histone hypoacetylation seen in G93A mice and induces the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) p50, the phosphorylated inhibitory subunit of NF-kappaB (pIkappaB), and beta cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2). Phenylbutyrate either directly acetylates NF-kappaB p50 or phosphorylates IkappaB, causing NF-kappaB p50 to be translocated to the nucleus.[3] Phenylbutyrate increases brain histone acetylation and decreases histone methylation levels as determined by immunocytochemistry and Western blots. in a transgenic mousemodel of Huntington's disease (HD). Phenylbutyrate down-regulated caspases linked to apoptotic cell death, increased mRNA for ubiquitin-proteosomal pathway components, and increased caspase 3 immunoreactivity in the striatum.[4]
Enzyme Assay
Phenylbutyrate (PB) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that has been shown to induce differentiation and apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. Although these effects are most likely due to modulation of gene expression, the specific genes and gene products responsible for the effects of PB are not well characterized. In this study, we used cDNA expression arrays and Western blot to assess the effect that PB has on the expression of various cancer and apoptosis-regulatory gene products. We show that PB attenuates the expression of the apoptosis antagonist Bcl-X(L), the double-strand break repair protein DNA-dependent protein kinase, the prostate progression marker caveolin-1, and the pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor. Furthermore, PB was found to act in synergy with ionizing radiation to induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. Taken together, our results point to the possibility that PB may be an effective anti-prostate cancer agent when used in combination with radiation or chemotherapy and for the inhibition of cancer progression.[2]
Cell Assay
In brief, viable cells are seeded at a density of 4 × 104 cells/mL in 60-mm dishes in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum and 0.35% agarose on a base layer of 0.7% agarose. Viable cells are determined by trypan blue dye exclusion. Additions of DMSO, TSA, or PB are made to the upper and lower agarose layers. Colonies are counted after 10–14 days, and assays are run in triplicate at least three times.
Animal Protocol
Mice: 10-week-old female IRC's pathogen-free animal facility is home to C57BL/6J mice. The animals are divided into four groups at random: LPS (n=6), vehicle+Benzenebutyric acid (n=6), vehicle control (n=5), and LPS+Benzenebutyric acid (n=6). For three weeks, mice are given 200 μL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) once a week at a dose of 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally. Mice are given a daily intraperitoneal injection of 200 μL PBS (or PBS as a vehicle) containing 240 mg/kg of sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (Benzenebutyric acid) solution, which is made by titrating equimolecular amounts of Benzenebutyric acid and sodium hydroxide to reach pH 7.4. The injections last for three weeks. Mice are killed by asphyxia with CO2. The right femur is scanned in order to ascertain the long bone's microarchitecture and bone mineral density (BMD). A 6.9 μm effective detector pixel size and a 77–255 mg/cc threshold are used for the scans. A region of 1.6 mm in length, situated 0.1 mm below the distal femur growth plate, is the subject of analysis for trabecular bone.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of sodium phenylbutyrate or the combination of sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol during breastfeeding. Both sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol are highly protein bound and therefore unlikely to enter milk in clinically important amounts. If sodium phenylbutyrate with or without taurursodiol is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Until more data become available, these products should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Monitoring the breastfed infant for neurotoxicity (excessive sedation, vomiting) during maternal therapy may be advisable.

Additional Infomation
Sodium phenylbutyrate is the organic sodium salt of 4-phenylbutyric acid. A prodrug for phenylacetate, it is used to treat urea cycle disorders. It has a role as a prodrug, an EC 3.5.1.98 (histone deacetylase) inhibitor, a neuroprotective agent, an orphan drug and a geroprotector. It contains a 4-phenylbutyrate.
Sodium Phenylbutyrate is the sodium salt of phenylbutyrate, a derivative of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, with potential antineoplastic activity. Phenylbutyrate reversibly inhibits class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACs), which may result in a global increase in gene expression, decreased cellular proliferation, increased cell differentiation, and the induction of apoptosis in susceptible tumor cell populations.

Drug Indication
Ammonaps is indicated as adjunctive therapy in the chronic management of urea cycle disorders, involving deficiencies of carbamylphosphate synthetase, ornithine transcarbamylase orargininosuccinate synthetase. It is indicated in all patients with neonatal-onset presentation (complete enzyme deficiencies, presenting within the first 28 days of life). It is also indicated in patients with late-onset disease(partial enzyme deficiencies, presenting after the first month of life) who have a history of hyperammonaemic encephalopathy.
