luciferase-in-1

Luciferase-IN-1, a luciferase inhibitor, is utilized in the study of bacterial and fungal infections.

Firefly luciferase-IN-1 is a 2-benzylidene tetrahydronaphthone derivative and can be used as a firefly luciferase inhibitor in kit.

Fluc-IN-1 is a potent inhibitor of firefly luciferase (Fluc) (IC 50 = 25 nM) and further inhibits WNT/β-catenin through Fluc (IC50 ≈ 30 nM) without acting through Frizzled 7 or the WNT/β-catenin signaling amplifier.

pan-TEAD-IN-1 (Compound 3) is an orally active pan-inhibitor of TEAD, disrupting its interaction with coactivators YAP/TAZ by targeting the palmitoylation site of TEAD. This inhibition leads to the downregulation of oncogene transcription, such as Ctgf and Cyr61, within the Hippo signaling pathway. Demonstrating outstanding efficacy, pan-TEAD-IN-1 has an IC50 of 0.36 nM for luciferase and 1.52 nM for H226 cells, along with favorable pharmacokinetic properties (AUC0–∞= 228.7 μg/mL·min, T1/2= 183.9 min). The compound significantly inhibits tumor growth in xenograft models of TEAD-dependent cancers, indicating its potential for research in these cancer types.

YAP/TEAD-IN-2 (Compound T-1) is an inhibitor of YAP/TEAD. This compound suppresses luciferase activity driven by YAP/TEAD in 293T cells and exhibits strong antiproliferative effects on human pleural mesothelioma NCI-H226 cells. YAP/TEAD-IN-2 is applicable for studying diseases associated with disruptions in the Hippo pathway, particularly cancer.

2-Bromo-1-decanal was synthesized as an affinity labeling probe for the aliphatic aldehyde site of Vibrio harveyi luciferase. In the presence of excess amounts of this probe, the inactivation of bacterial luciferase occurred following apparent first order

MD001 is a dual agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ.1 It binds to PPARα and PPARγ (Kds = 9.55 and 0.14 μM, respectively) but does not bind to PPARβ/δ at concentrations up to 500 μM. It increases transcriptional activity of PPARα and PPARγ in a cell-based luciferase reporter assay when used at a concentration of 10 μM. MD001 (10 μM) increases expression of PPARα, PPARγ, and retinoid X receptor (RXR), as well as PPARα and PPARγ target genes, in HepG2 cells. It increases glucose consumption as well as expression of GLUT2 and GLUT4 in HepG2 and 3T3-L1 cells, respectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. MD001 (20 mg/kg) decreases levels of glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, triglycerides, LDL, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in blood and reduces the size and number of hepatic lipid droplets in diabetic db/db mice.References1.

GW841819X is an analogue of (+)-JQ1 and a novel inhibitor of BET bromodomains. GW841819X was a single enantiomer but of undefined chirality at the 4-position of the benzodiazepine ring3. GW841819X and JQ1 were recently discovered that bind to the acetyl-lysine binding pocket of BET bromodomains with Kd ranges from 50 to 370 nM [1]. GW841819X bounded to both the individual BD1 and BD2 domains with affinities of 46 and 52.5 nM, respectively. GW841819X-Brd3 interaction was estimated to be around 70 nM4. GW841819X displayed activity in vivo against NUT-midline carcinoma, multiple myeloma, mixed-lineage leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia1. It also potent induced the ApoA1 reporter gene with an EC50 of 440 nM. It had very little effect on LDL-R luciferase activity at the concentrations at which it induces ApoA1 expression, suggesting that the effect is indeed specific3. GW841819X competed directly with GATA1 site for BD1 binding and also specifically blocked the interaction between Brd3 and acetylated GATA14. Recent findings reported that GW841819X are chose as an interest compound to further develop into potential drugs against diseases including cancer, HIV infection and heart disease2.

20-HEPE, a metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid, is formed via ω-oxidation of EPA by cytochrome P450 (CYP) ω-oxidases, including human CYP4F3B. It activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in COS-7 cells expressing a luciferase reporter at a concentration of 10 μM. 20-HEPE also activates murine transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (mTRPV1) in vitro but lacks antinociceptive activity in rats.

N-(1-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)oleamide binds to the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor with a Ki value of 365 nM in a radioligand binding assay using rat brain homogenate. It has an EC50 value of 698 nM for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in a luciferase reporter assay and, in rats, it decreases food intake. It does not inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH).

MEISi-1 is a small-molecule inhibitor targeting the homeodomain of MEIS1 protein. MEISi-1 can significantly inhibit the activity of luciferase reporter genes containing MEIS binding sites, and promote the self-renewal of key hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in both mice and humans in vitro and in vivo. It can be used in research on hematological diseases, cardiac regeneration, cancer and other related fields.

AZ0108 is an orally bioavailable, potent PARP1,2,6 inhibitor that potently inhibits centrosome clustering and is suitable for in vivo efficacy and tolerability studies. AZ0108 has been utilized as in vitro tools and in vivo probes to investigate the biological consequences of inhibiting centrosome clustering through PARP enzymes. AZ0108 is more selective in its enzyme inhibition profile and effects on cellular pathways and phenotypes. Specifically, AZ0108 inhibits PARPs 1, 2, and 6 with approximately 100-fold selectivity against PARP3 and TNKS1. Consistent with this lack of potencytowards tankyrase, AZ0108 is not active in a DLD-1 Wnt luciferase reporter assay.

lucPpy-IN-1 (compound 9) is a potent inhibitor of the ATP-dependent luciferase from Photinus pyralis (lucPpy) with an IC50 value of 4.0 uM. Luciferase enzymes are widely utilized in bioluminescence-based reporter gene assays and high-throughput screening (HTS). lucPpy-IN-1 is primarily used to investigate the inhibitory effects of chemical libraries on firefly luciferase and to assist in assessing the druggability of targets, helping to identify and mitigate false-positive signals in HTS assays.

STAT6-IN-2 (Comp R-84) is a STAT6 inhibitor that effectively reduces the secretion of the chemokine eotaxin-3, which induces eosinophil infiltration. This compound is valuable for studying immune diseases [1].
