MedKoo CAT#: 201360

CAS#: 168682-53-9 (free base)

Description: Ezatiostat is a liposomal small-molecule glutathione analog inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase (GST) P1-1 with hematopoiesis-stimulating activity. After intracellular de-esterification, the active form of ezatiostat binds to and inhibits GST P1-1, thereby restoring Jun kinase and MAPK pathway activities and promoting MAPK-mediated cellular proliferation and differentiation pathways. This agent promotes the proliferation and maturation of hematopoietic precursor cells, granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes and platelets. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus).

Biological target: Ezatiostat (TER199, TLK199, Telintra), a tripeptide analog of glutathione, is a peptidomimetic inhibitor of Glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GSTP1-1).
In vitro activity: The IC50 values were 22 μM for TLK199 in HT29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells line that express high levels of GSTP1-1. Similar IC50 values (26–28 μM) for TLK199 were obtained with other human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, e.g., SW620, LoVo, and Caco2. TLK199 is easily taken up by the cells, rapidly converted to phenylglycine monoethyl ester TLK236, and then gradually converted to TLK117. TLK199 undergoes deesterification to glutamyl monoethyl ester TLK235 as well, but this metabolite is only produced in very limited quantities (Figs. 1 and 2). Reference: Handb Exp Pharmacol. 2021;264:71-91. https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/164_2020_392
In vivo activity: The absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination properties of TLK199 were characterized in rat and dog. The primary metabolites are TLK236 and TLK117. Unchanged TLK199 was not detected in the blood, although the metabolites TLK117 and TLK236 were, indicating that the systemic clearance of the parent compound was both rapid and extensive. TLK199 has a half-life in rodents of <1 min and in monkeys of ~15 min. Reference: Handb Exp Pharmacol. 2021;264:71-91. https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/164_2020_392
