Description

Dibutyl sebacate is a solid that is insoluble in water. It is used as a pharmaceutical excipient for oral and parenteral drugs and as a solvent for paints, lacquers, and varnishes. Dibutyl sebacate has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzymes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). It has also been shown to inhibit the activity of human pharmacokinetic enzymes such as CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. These effects may be due to its ability to act as a competitive inhibitor or an allosteric enzyme inhibitor. The solubility of dibutyl sebacate in water can be increased by the addition of sodium citrate.
