Thiorphan-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of thiorphan (Item No. 15600) by GC- or LC-MS. Thiorphan is an inhibitor of neprilysin (NEP; IC50 = 0.007 µM).1 It selectivity inhibits NEP over NEP2 (IC50 = 22 µM), as well as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and endothelin-converting enzyme 1 (ECE1; Kis = >0.1 and >10 µM, respectively, in cell-free assays).1,2 Thiorphan (10 µM) increases bradykinin-induced relaxation of isolated porcine coronary artery rings precontracted with potassium chloride under hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions.3 Thiorphan reduces increases in gastric acid output induced by pentagastrin (Item No. 28546) by 64% in rats when administered intracerebroventricularly at a dose of 50 µg, but not when administered intravenously at doses of 1.7 and 17 mg/kg.4 Thiorphan (2 mg/ml, i.c.v.) increases cortical levels of insoluble amyloid-β (1-40) (Aβ40) and decreases time spent in the platform quadrant in the Morris water maze, indicating impaired reference memory, in rats.5
