Tarenflurbil [(R)-Flurbiprofen], the R-enantiomer of flurbiprofen, is a novel and potent activator of c-Jun N terminal kinase. Also reduce Aβ secretion, but at the same time, increases the level of intracellular Aβ. May be used for Alzheimer's disease.
ln Vitro |
(R)-Flurbiprofen, or tartenflurbil, has the ability to dramatically lower Aβ release while simultaneously raising intracellular Aβ levels. Both 9-cis-RA and unlabeled (R)-flurbiprofen competitively block the interaction of [3H]9-cis-RA with RXRα. (9-cis-retinoid acid, or 9-cis-RA) inhibits Tarenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen)'s lowering of Aβ secretion, and (R)-Flurbiprofen can interfere with the interaction between RXRα and 9-cis-RA). The intracellular Aβ species levels are markedly increased upon treatment with tartenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen)[1]. It is evident that second generation GSMs and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-based GSMs have different mechanisms of action with regard to Notch processing because Tarenflurbil ((R) )-Flurbiprofen, a well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, affects only Aβ and does not affect Notch β formation[2].

ln Vivo |
In C57BL6/J mice that develop a non-remitting form of the disease and in SJL mice that develop a relapsing-remitting (RR)-EAE, the effects of both an early and late start of treatment with Tarenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen) are evaluated. When administered within three days of immunization, tartenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen) totally prevents the development of clinical EAE scores in C57BL6/J mice. We call this regimen "preventive treatment." Since the effect is dose-dependent, 5 mg/kg/day is the minimal daily dose required for full prevention. The positive control, Fingolimod (FTY720, 0.5 mg/kg/day), has effects similar to those of Tarenflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen). In C57BL6/J mice, tareflurbil ((R)-Flurbiprofen) also significantly lowers clinical EAE scores when treatment is started just prior to the onset of clinical manifestations, a strategy known as semi-therapeutic (10 mg/kg/day), and when treatment is started on day 13 (5 mg/g/day), after the disease has fully developed[3].

Additional Infomation |
(R)-flurbiprofen is a flurbiprofen. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-flurbiprofen.
Tarenflurbil is an investigational drug that was studied in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. It is a selective amyloid lowering agent (SALA) that reduces levels of the toxic peptide amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) in cultured human cells and in animal models. Aβ42 is the primary initiator of neurotoxicity and amyloid plaque development in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. In June 2008 development of the drug for Alzheimer's disease was discontinued. Tarenflurbil has also been used in trials studying the treatment of Prostate Cancer. Tarenflurbil is an orally active synthetic enantiomer of flurbiprofen. Tarenflurbil activates c-Jun N terminal kinase, increases AP-1 binding to DNA, and downregulates cyclin D1 expression, resulting in arrest of tumor cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and apoptosis. This agent also affects the expression of nuclear factor kappa B, a rapid response transcription factor that stimulates the immune response to tumor cells. R-flurbiprofen does not inhibit the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase. Drug Indication Investigated for use/treatment in alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer. Mechanism of Action MPC-7869 is not an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). The compound modulates the signal transduction and transcription activation pathways associated with nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), a principle transcription factor in the expression of many molecules involved in cell growth, cell death and inflammation. In addition, MPC-7869 has recently been shown to modulate gamma-secretase and selectively lower levels of Abeta42 peptide in vitro and in vivo, and to reduce amyloid pathology in the brain. MPC-7869 has an excellent safety profile and is very potent in animal models of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In transgenic mouse studies, MPC-7869 reduced brain amyloid levels and prevented memory loss. |

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 (10.23 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.

For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
