Hypotaurine is a precursor for the biosynthesis of taurine and is an endogenous inhibitory amino acid of the glycine receptor [1]. Hypotaurine inhibits the GABA transporters 1 (GAT1), 2 (GAT2), 3 (GAT3), and 4 (GAT4) in mice (IC50 values are 170, 240, 4.9, and 8.1μM respectively) and GAT1, 2, and 3 in rats (IC50 values are 1010, 52, and 73μM respectively) for the uptake of GABA [2]. As an antioxidant, Hypotaurine can effectively eliminate free radicals and reactive oxygen species [3].
In vitro, Hypotaurine (1mM; 24h) significantly reduced the concentration of hydroxyl radicals in rat placental trophoblast cells (TR-TBT 18d-1) treated with H2O2, and had a protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage [4]. Under high chloride conditions, Hypotaurine (30-3000μM; 100s) increased the inward current or upward deflection of membrane potential in glial cells (SG) neurons in the immature mouse tail trigeminal nucleus (Vc) in a concentration-dependent manner, with EC50 values of 663.8 and 337.6μM respectively [5].
In vivo, in rats subjected to tail swinging, paw pressing, and formalin test, Hypotaurine (100, 200, 400, and 600μg/10μL; intrathecal injection) prolonged the tail flick latency in a dose-dependent manner, alleviated mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia [6]. Hypotaurine (2.4mM/kg/2mL; intraperitoneal injection) pretreatment significantly attenuated the increase in ALT, AST, and LDH activities in rat plasma induced by acetaminophen (APAP), as well as the decrease in GR, GST, and GCS activities and the consumption of GSSG in the liver [7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | TR-TBT 18d-1 cells |
Preparation Method | TR-TBT 18d-1 cells were cultured at 37°C for 2 days and then test compound for a further 24h, if needed. The culture medium was replaced with fresh medium not containing the test compound, and the cells were exposed to H2O2 at the specified concentration and time. Cell viability was measured in terms of NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase activity (MTT assay) using a CellTiter 96 Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay. TR-TBT 18d-1 cells were treated with 1mM Hypotaurine solution for 24h at 37°C, and antioxidant capacities towards hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals in the cell lysates were also evaluated using the HORAC assay and ORAC assay, respectively, in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. |
Reaction Conditions | 1mM; 24h |
Applications | Hypotaurine significantly reduced the concentration of hydroxyl radicals in rat placental trophoblast cells (TR-TBT 18d-1) treated with H2O2, exerting a protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague–Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | For the intrathecal administration of drugs, lumbar catheters were implanted in all rats. Under anesthesia using pentobarbital sodium (60mg/kg, intraperitoneal), a stretched PE-10 polyethylene catheter (8.5cm) was inserted into the intrathecal space and advanced caudally to the rostral edge of the lumbar enlargement through an incision in the atlanto-occipital membrane. A recovery period of seven days was provided before intrathecal administration of Hypotaurine and behavioral assessment. Proper location of the catheter was confirmed by hind limb paralysis after the injection of 10μL of 2% lidocaine 2 days before the assessment. For assays, 10μL of the drugs or saline was administered intrathecally, followed by 10μL of saline to flush the catheter. The effects of Hypotaurine (100, 200, 400, and 600μg) on thermal nociception were assessed repeatedly for 120min post-injection. A radiant heat source was focused on the middle part of the rat’s tail. The time interval from the onset of the stimulus until the tail flick response was measured using a tail flick unit. |
Dosage form | 100, 200, 400, and 600μg/10μL; intrathecal injection |
Applications | Hypotaurine prolonged the latency of tail twitching in a dose-dependent manner, alleviating mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. |
