Product Description

4μ8C (also known as IRE1 Inhibitor III) is a potent and selective IRE1 Rnase inhibitor (IC50 = 76 nM) with the potential for metabolic diseases. In addition to inhibiting Xbp1 splicing and IRE1-mediated mRNA degradation, 4μ8C also prevents substrate(RIDD) access to the active site of IRE1. Without detectable acute toxicity, IRE1 inhibition subsequently causes ER stress. 4μ8C, an IRE1 inhibitor, prevents CD4+ T cells from producing IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IRE1 Rnase (IC50 = 76 nM)
ln Vitro
In addition to inhibiting Xbp1 splicing and IRE1-mediated mRNA degradation, 4μ8C also prevents substrate(RIDD) access to the active site of IRE1. Without detectable acute toxicity, IRE1 inhibition subsequently causes ER stress.[1] 4μ8C, blocks CD4+ T cells' ability to produce IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 by acting as an IRE1 inhibitor.[2]
ln Vivo
4μ8c is an IRE1 Inhibitor III that decreases atherosclerotic lesions and effectively prevents plaque development in mice.
Enzyme Assay
The same procedure as before is followed for the analysis of radiolabeled Xbp1 substrate cleavage, with the exception that mammalian IRE1 reaction buffer is employed. In vitro RIDD substrates are produced by in vitro transcription using the T7-MAXIscript Kit in the presence of 32P ATP or Cy5-UTP on templates isolated by RT-PCR from mouse Min6 cells (Ins2) or PCR from cloned XBP1 cDNA. To obtain full-length substrate, the produced products are gel purified. The reactions are next separated by 15% UREA-PAGE before being subjected to phosphorimaging or near-infrared imaging using the LI-COR Odyssey scanner for analysis.
Cell Assay
In 96 or 24 well dishes, cells are seeded at a density of 5 × 103 or 5 × 104 per well in phenol red-free cell culture medium. Before being exposed to 48C for 24 hours, cultures are incubated for 16 hours. The addition of 200 M WST1 and 10 M phenazine metho-sulfate is then used to analyze the cultures. The hydrolyzed dye is detected by absorbance at 450 nm, after subtracting background and absorbance at 595 nm, following development of the reagent for 2 h at 37 °C. As an alternative, the adherent culture can be stained with crystal violet to determine the viability of the cells. After thoroughly washing the stained cells in water and dissolving the crystal violet in methanol, absorbance measurements at 595 nm are used to quantify the dye uptake.

Shipping Condition

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~19 mg/mL (~93.0 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.19 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: 5%DMSO+40%PEG300+5%Tween80+50%ddH2O: 0.5mg/mL

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 4.8976 mL 24.4882 mL 48.9764 mL
5 mM 0.9795 mL 4.8976 mL 9.7953 mL
10 mM 0.4898 mL 2.4488 mL 4.8976 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
