Thiorphan is a selective Neprilysin (NEP) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 6.9nM[1]. Thiorphan has antidiarrhoeal and neuroprotective effects[2][3].
The highest non-cytotoxic concentration of Thiorphan (500μM) enhanced the antiproliferative effect of osteosarcoma HOS cells and had a synergistic effect when used in combination with Alpha-ketoglutarate [4]. Thiorphan (10µM; 48h) decreased the OGR1-induced inhibition of A549 cell migration[5].
Thiorphan (50mg/kg) reduced Ibotenate-induced cortical lesions by to 57% and cortical caspase-3 cleavage by to 59%. This neuroprotective effect was long-lasting and was still observed when Thiorphan was administered 12h after the insult[3]. In a rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, the combination of Thiorphan (0.1mg/kg/d; po; 4 weeks) and Telmisartan attenuated inflammatory (NF-jB/MCP-1), profibrotic (TGF-b/Smad7), and apoptotic (PARP/Caspase-3) responses[6].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Guinea pig Clara cells |
Preparation Method | Guinea pig Clara cells were treated with Thiorphan (1mM) for 1-2h . |
Reaction Conditions | 1mM; 1-2h |
Applications | Treatment of Clara cells with Thiorphan (1mM), an inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase, decreased by 44 and 26% the levels of immunoreactive endothelin (ir-ET) in the cell supernatant respectively, after 1 and 2h incubation periods. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Diabetes model |
Preparation Method | Diabetes was induced by administration of Streptozotocin (55mg/kg, ip) in male Wistar rats. After 4 weeks, diabetic rats were subjected to either Thiorphan (0.1mg/kg/day, po) or Telmisartan (10mg/kg/day, po) monotherapy, or their combination, for a period of 4 weeks. |
Dosage form | 0.1mg/kg; po; 4 weeks |
Applications | Monotherapy with Thiorphan or Telmisartan reduced levels of PGL, CK-MB, and LDH to a certain extent, but the combination regimen additively improved metabolic perturbations in DC rats. |
