  8. Why use membrane affinity? 2. comparison with physiological membranes Influence of cholesterol content has to be considered

  9. Why use membrane affinity? Influence of cholesterol C. Tradum et al.:Biophysical J. 78 2496-2492

  10. Why use membrane affinity? Influence of cholesterol

  11. Why use membrane affinity? Influence of cholesterol • Influence on passive permeation expected to be strong • flexibility of plasma membrane is strongly influence by cholesterol, content usually about 80 mol% of phospholipids content • Influence on distribution expected to be low • 80% of all membranes are intracellular with a cholesterol content about 4 mol% of phospholipids content

  12. Comparison of solubility methods • precipitation • all compounds • small amounts • fast analytics • compound dissolved in organic solvent • oversaturated solutions possible • from powder • selected compounds • large amounts (two samples) • specific analytics • sensitive to morphology • sensitive to purity • sensitive to solvent impurities

  13. Comparison of solubility methods • precipitation • Dissolve compound in DMSO (2mg/40µl) • Add 10µl of this solution to 1000µl buffer (1% DMSO) • Shake for 24h at room temperature • Centrifuge to get supernatant • Establish LC/MS/MS method • Measure calibration standards and probe • from powder • Weight an appropriate amount of compound as solid • Add 1000µl buffer • Shake for 24h at room temperature • Centrifuge to get supernatant • Establish LC/MS/MS method • Measure calibration standards and probe

  16. Lessons learned from solubility comparisons • method differences not really critical • physical form very important differences between research and development result from: • morphology differences • impurities • solvent content • counter-ions and buffers are important when compound is charged in solution

  17. Case Histories: The Use of Physicochemical Properties Two different projects as examples: 1. Reducing lipophilicity and HSA binding to increase fraction unbound: erectile disfunction 2. Influence of solubility on in vivo efficacy: the HSV project

  18. Reducing Lipophilicity and Protein Binding to Increase Fraction Unbound Starting point: initial compound moderate effective IC50 PDE-5: 530nM DP1 compound: Vardenafil highly effective IC50 PDE-5: 2nM Insufficient physicochemical properties: high membrane affinity: 16500 high protein binding: 1.7e-5 mol/l solubility: below detection limit fraction unbound: <1% no in vivo efficacy improved physicochemical properties: reduced membrane affinity: 580 reduced protein binding: 1.2e-4 mol/l solubility: 220 mg/l fraction unbound: 14% excellent in vivo efficacy
