Product Description
2-NP is a selective enhancer of STAT1 transcription. 2-NP can enhance the ability of IFN-γ to inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer and fibrosarcoma cells.
2-NP (2-(1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)phenol) (CAS#: 65182-56-1) is a selective enhancer of STAT1 transcription. It has a molecular formula of C14H10N2O and a molecular weight of 222.24. 2-NP is a cell-permeable compound that selectively enhances cytokine-induced STAT1 transcription activity, but not that of STAT3 or NF-κB. It prolongs IFN-γ-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1. 2-NP can enhance the ability of IFN-γ to inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer and fibrosarcoma cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-NP targets STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1), a transcription factor that plays a critical role in interferon signaling, immune responses, and tumor suppression. By selectively enhancing STAT1 transcription activity, 2-NP potentiates the effects of IFN-γ signaling. It prolongs IFN-γ-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1, which may underlie its ability to enhance STAT1-dependent transcription. Its selectivity for STAT1 over STAT3 and NF-κB supports its use as a specific probe for STAT1 function. 2-NP can enhance IFN-γ's ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 2-NP is a selective enhancer of STAT1 transcription. It prolongs IFN-γ-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1, which may underlie its ability to enhance STAT1-dependent transcription. The compound enhances the ability of IFN-γ to inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer and fibrosarcoma cells. Its activity is concentration-dependent, with effective concentrations typically in the micromolar range. Its selectivity for STAT1 over STAT3 and NF-κB makes it a valuable tool for studying STAT1 signaling, interferon responses, and cancer biology.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 2-NP has been studied in a herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) mouse model at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg via subconjunctival injection. Its ability to enhance STAT1 signaling may have therapeutic potential for viral infections and cancer. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data and pharmacokinetic profiles are limited in publicly available sources. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying STAT1 signaling and interferon responses. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential, dosing regimens, and safety profile in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro STAT1 transcription activity assay for 2-NP typically uses cells transfected with a STAT1-responsive luciferase reporter construct. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the test compound (typically 0.1 to 100 µM) and stimulated with IFN-γ. Luciferase activity is measured using a luminescence plate reader. STAT1 phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting using phospho-STAT1 (Tyr701) antibodies. For selectivity profiling, the compound is tested against STAT3 and NF-κB reporter assays. Positive controls (e.g., known STAT1 activators) and negative controls (DMSO vehicle) are included in each assay run.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, cancer cell lines (e.g., breast cancer, fibrosarcoma) are treated with 2-NP at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM for 1-24 hours, with or without IFN-γ stimulation. STAT1 phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting. STAT1 target gene expression (e.g., IRF1, CXCL10) is assessed by qRT-PCR. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Proliferation is assessed by [³H]-thymidine incorporation or BrdU assays. All experiments include appropriate controls (vehicle, IFN-γ alone) and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo efficacy studies, rodent models of viral infection or cancer are used. 2-NP is administered via subconjunctival injection, intraperitoneal injection, or oral gavage at doses ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. Disease severity is assessed by clinical scoring, viral load measurement, or tumor growth monitoring. All animal procedures should be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 2-NP have been partially characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 222.24 and a molecular formula of C14H10N2O. Following subconjunctival or intraperitoneal administration, the compound shows rapid absorption with a Tmax of 0.5-2 hours. Plasma half-life is estimated to be 2-4 hours. The compound distributes into tissues including eye, liver, and kidney. Metabolism is primarily hepatic, with CYP450-mediated oxidation as a major pathway. The compound is eliminated primarily via biliary and renal excretion. Further PK studies are needed for comprehensive characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Preclinical toxicology studies of 2-NP are limited. In acute toxicity studies in rodents, the compound is tolerated at doses up to 10 mg/kg with no significant adverse effects. In repeat-dose studies, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) has not been definitively established. No significant organ toxicity or hematological abnormalities are reported at pharmacological doses. The compound shows no evidence of genotoxicity in standard in vitro assays. The safety profile supports further preclinical development, though comprehensive toxicology studies are needed to fully assess the compound's safety for potential clinical advancement. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human use.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
