STING-IN-3 (C-171) is an inhibitor of stimulator of interferon genes (STING). It binds to STING, inhibits its palmitoylation, and prevents the recruitment and phosphorylation of TBK1.

2',3'-cGAMP sodium (2'-3'-cyclic GMP-AMP sodium) is a second messenger in cellular innate immunity, catalyzed by cGAMP synthase (cGAS) under DNA binding conditions. It binds to STING to form a dimer, inducing the production and expression of interferon-β and other cytokines.

MSA-2 is an orally available non-nucleotide STING agonist. The non-covalent dimer of MSA-2 binds to STING with nanomolar affinity. It shows anti-tumor activity in syngeneic mouse tumor models, synergizes with anti-PD-1, stimulates tumor secretion of interferon-β, induces tumor regression, and has long-lasting anti-tumor immunity.

2',3'-cGAMP is an endogenous cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) produced by cGAS (cGAMP synthase) in response to double-stranded DNA in the cytoplasm. It acts as a STING activator and ligand, inducing interferons (IFNs) via the TBK1/IRF3 pathway and pro-inflammatory factors via the NF-κB pathway.

Compound 3 (diABZI-V/C-DBCO) functions as an efficient STING agonist. This compound acts by releasing diABZI-amine under the action of cathepsin B to activate STING, thereby inducing the production of interferon and other immune-activating molecules, which enhances the immune system's response to tumors. In THP1-Dual cells, the EC50 values for STING activation by diABZI-V/C-DBCO and diABZI-amine are 1.47 nM and 0.144 nM, respectively, and in primary mouse splenic cells, the EC50 values are 7.7 µM and 0.17 µM, respectively. diABZI-V/C-DBCO is useful for research in the field of cancer immunotherapy.

cAIMP acts as a STING agonist and has been shown to more effectively activate STING-dependent IRF and NF-κB signaling pathways in mammalian cells in vitro when compared to standard murine (DMXAA) and human (2',3'-cGAMP) STING agonists. In ex vivo experiments with human blood, cAIMP analogs can induce the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

This compound effectively inhibits STING signaling induced by MSA-2 or 2',3'-cGAMP, as well as the levels of immune and inflammatory cytokines in human and mouse cells. STING-IN-8 shows significant potential for research in STING-related inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

endo-S-cGAFMP (Compound 3) is a STING agonist that enhances both innate and adaptive immune responses by activating the cGAS-STING pathway, leading to the production of interferon regulatory factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines. It exhibits strong immunostimulatory activity in THP1 monocytes and RAW macrophages, with EC50 values of 2.45 μM and 5.54 μM, respectively. endo-S-cGAFMP also demonstrates significant antitumor activity and holds potential as an immunotherapy agent for cancer, particularly in studies involving systemic administration.

3’,5’-DiOA-dC is a hydrophobic nucleotide lipid and acts as a ligand for the STING agonist c-di-GMP (CDG). It can assemble with CDG to form stable cyclic dinucleotide nanoparticles through molecular recognition-driven supramolecular forces. This interaction reduces tumor weight and volume while increasing the levels of CD8 T cells, neutrophils, and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, 3’,5’-DiOA-dC enhances TNF-α and IFN-γ levels in a mouse melanoma model.
