Description

Butyric acid is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, with anti-tumor effects in several cancers.


Sodium butyrate is a compound with formula Na(C3H7COO). It is the sodium salt of butyric acid. It has various effects on cultured mammalian cells including inhibition of proliferation, induction of differentiation and induction or repression of gene expression. As such, it can be used in lab to bring about any of these effects. Specifically, butyrate treatment of cells results in histone hyperacetylation, and butyrate itself inhibits class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity, specifically HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8. Butyrate has been an essential vehicle for determining the role of histone acetylation in chromatin structure and function. Inhibition of HDAC activity is estimated to affect the expression of only 2% of mammalian genes.


Liquid


Sodium butyrate is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the carboxy group of butyric acid by a sodium ion. It has a role as an EC 3.5.1.98 (histone deacetylase) inhibitor and a geroprotector. It contains a butyrate.|Sodium Butyrate is the sodium salt of butyrate with potential antineoplastic activity. Butyrate, a short chain fatty acid, competitively binds to the zinc sites of class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACs). This binding affects hyperacetylation of histones, resulting in a modified DNA conformation, which subsequently leads to the uncoiling or relaxing of chromatin. Enhanced accessibility of chromatin to transcription-regulatory complexes leads to increased transcriptional activation of various epigenetically suppressed genes. Butyrate, a HDAC inhibitor, induces cell cycle arrest in G1 or G2/M and also increases the expression of other genes and proteins involved in cellular differentiation and apoptotic signaling.|A four carbon acid, CH3CH2CH2COOH, with an unpleasant odor that occurs in butter and animal fat as the glycerol ester.

Toxicity

THE INDUCTION OF HELA CELL ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY BY SODIUM BUTYRATE COULD BE INHIBITED BY THE COADMINISTRATION OF CAFFEINE OR THEOPHYLLINE.|SODIUM BUTYRATE AND DIMETHYL SULFOXIDE HAD MARKED EFFECTS ON THE GROWTH, MORPHOLOGY, AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF 2 HUMAN COLONIC ADENOCARCINOMA CELL LINES IN CULTURE. DOUBLING TIMES WERE INCR BETWEEN 18% & 660% WHEREAS CELL VIABILITY WAS UNAFFECTED.|SODIUM BUTYRATE TOGETHER WITH INTERFERON ENHANCED THE ANTITUMOR EFFECT OF INTERFERON IN VIVO. WHEN SARCOMA 180 TG CELLS WERE INOCULATED IN MICE, THE MEAN SURVIVAL TIME AND FINAL SURVIVAL RATE WERE GREATLY INCR COMPARED TO THOSE TREATED WITH INTERFERON ALONE.|THE COMBINATION OF THE SODIUM BUTYRATE WITH A THERAPEUTIC AGENT (X-RAYS, FLUOROURACIL, LOMUSTINE, VINCRISTINE, ADRIAMYCIN SULFATE, 5-(3,3-DIMETHYL-1-TRIAZENO)IMIDAZOLE-4-CARBOXAMIDE, OR METHOTREXATE) OR A CYCLIC AMP-STIMULATING AGENT (RO 20-1724, THEOPHYLLINE, PAPAVERINE, OR PROSTAGLANDIN E1) RESULTED IN A GREATER REDUCTION OF THE CELL NUMBER IN MOUSE NEUROBLASTOMA CULTURES THAN THAT OBSERVED WITH EACH AGENT ALONE.|Epstein-Barr virus producer and nonproducer cell lines were treated with a combination of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and n-butyrate (sodium salt). These inducers caused a massive hypomethylation of the Epstein-Barr virus producer line P3HR-1 DNA (approx 30%) at the time when DNA replication was inhibited.

Drug Information

Drugs that bind to but do not activate histamine receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine or histamine agonists. Classical antihistaminics block the histamine H1 receptors only. (See all compounds classified as Histamine Antagonists.)

Since cancer may be regarded as a disease of differentiation and sodium butyrate induces differentiation of malignant cells in vitro, a study of the clinical pharmacology of sodium butyrate was undertaken. Nine patients with acute myeloid (n= 1), acute monocytic (n= 1), acute myelomonocytic (n= 6) and acute undifferentiated (n= 1) leukemia were treated. Their median age was 52 (range, 27-78) years. Six of the nine patients were pretreated with cytostatic agents. Sodium butyrate was administered iv at a dosage of 500 mg/kg/day as continuous infusion over 10 days. A sensitive and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatographic separation was developed after derivatization of sodium butyrate with 2,4'-dibromoacetophenone employing crown ether catalysts. Plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of sodium butyrate were monitored during the 10 days of continous infusion and for 2 days thereafter. During infusion, plasma concentrations increased 6-fold over the endogenous butyrate level and reached 39-59 uM. The area under the curve of the exogenous butyrate was 384 + or - 50 uM X day (mean + or - standard deviation). After the end of infusion, concentrations declined rapidly with a half-life of 6.1 + or - 1.4 min, and reached pretreatment values within 1 hr. The total clearance rate was 83 + or - 12 ml/kg/min and the volume of distribution 738 + or - 245 ml/kg. The excreted amounts of butyrate in the urine were minmal as compared to the infused dose. Although excretion by other organs was not ruled out, it is suggested that the infused sodium butyrate was rapidly metabolized. A significant increase in peripheral blast cells was observed, whereas bone marrow cytologies before and after treatment did not reveal a significant change in blasts. Differential counts of peripheral white blood cells did not show significantly changes. No toxicity was encountered. The apparent lack of clinical efficacy may be explained by the low plasma levels of sodium butyrate due to its short half-life in vivo. In comparison, concentrations reported for in vitro studies were at least 10 times higher.

SODIUM BUTYRATE INHIBITED INITIATION OF VIRAL AND CELLULAR DNA REPLICATION IN POLYOMA VIRUS-INFECTED MOUSE KIDNEY CELLS.|24 HR AFTER TREATMENT OF FRIEND ERYTHROLEUKEMIA CELLS WITH MILLIMOLAR CONCN OF SODIUM BUTYRATE, THE CHROMATIN HISTONES HAD BECOME HYPERACETYLATED. DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD, THE BUTYRATE-TREATED FRIEND CELLS ACCUMULATED A POPULATION OF APPROX 38% NEW RNA TRANSCRIPTS SYNTHESIZED FROM UNIQUE SEQUENCES OF MOUSE DNA.|F9 mouse teratocarcinoma stem cells differentiate into parietal endoderm cells in the presence of retinoic acid, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and theophylline. When F9 cells are exposed to 2-5 mM sodium butyrate plus retinoic acid, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and theophylline, they fail to differentiate. Butyrate inhibits differentiation only when added within 8 hr after retinoic acid addition. Thus an early event in retinoid action on F9 cells is butyrate-sensitive. Butyrate inhibits histone deacetylation in F9 cells, and this could be the mechanism by which butyrate inhibits differentiation.|Sodium butyrate treatment enhanced the development of colonic neoplasia and was associated with increased fecal butyric acid concentrations in rats given parenteral administration of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.|Inhibitors of DNA polymerase efficiently inhibit initiator induced amplification of SV40 DNA sequences in the SV40 transformed Chinese hamster cell line CO631.

Sodium butyrate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The composition from example 1b (25 mg, 0.16 mmol) was transferred from the Eppendorf tube to a sample cup and the sample cup was inserted into a DNP polariser. The composition was hyperpolarised under DNP conditions at 1.2 K in a 3.35 T magnetic field under irradiation with microwave (93.915 GHz). The sample was hyperpolarized for 75 min. (0243) The sample was dissolved in 4 ml water with added NaOH (50 μl of 12M solution). The pH of the dissolved sample was 12. The solution was collected directly into a 10 mm NMR tube and transferred to a 14.1 T magnet where a time series of 5 degree 1D 13C-NMR spectra were recorded with a total delay between the pulses of 1 s. The anhydride was quantitatively hydrolyzed (up to at least 95percent) after 10 s. The butyric anhydride polarized well and was easily hydrolyzed to butyrate during the time of the experiment.
