Biodistribution profiles of ACY-738, ACY-775, and tubastatin A are examined after acute dosing at 5 or 50 mg/kg over 2 h. At t=30 min after acute 50 mg/kg injection, respective plasma levels of ACY-738 and ACY-775 are 515 ng/mL (1.9 μM) and 1359 ng/mL (4.1 μM). Elimination from plasma is rapid, with plasmatic half-life of 12 min and concentration below 10 ng/mL after 2 h. Nevertheless, areas under concentration time curves for brain and plasm calculated over 2 h for both ACY-738 and ACY-775 lead to ratios >1. When ACY-738 (5 mg/kg) or ACY-775 (50 mg/kg) are administered repeatedly in wild-type mice at 24 h, 4 h, and 30 min before killing, significant increases in α-tubulin acetylation are observed in all tested brain regions.
