Product Description
(E/Z)-AG490 ((E/Z)-Tyrphostin AG490) is the racemate of (E)-AG490 and (Z)-AG490. (E)-AG490 is a tyrosine inhibitor that can suppress EGFR, Stat-3 and JAK2/3.
(E/Z)-AG490, also known as (E/Z)-Tyrphostin AG490, is a racemic mixture of the (E)- and (Z)-isomers of AG490, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been widely used as a research tool in cell signaling studies. The active (E)-isomer is a potent inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and Janus kinases 2 and 3 (JAK2/3). (E/Z)-AG490 has been used extensively in preclinical research to study the role of JAK/STAT signaling in various cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune regulation. The compound has been instrumental in elucidating the role of STAT3 in cancer and inflammation, and has been used as a reference compound in the development of more selective JAK/STAT inhibitors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(E/Z)-AG490 targets multiple tyrosine kinases including EGFR, STAT3, and JAK2/3. The active (E)-isomer inhibits EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in cell proliferation and survival, and is frequently overexpressed or mutated in various cancers. The compound also inhibits STAT3, a transcription factor that is activated by JAK kinases and plays a critical role in cell proliferation, survival, and immune regulation. STAT3 is constitutively activated in many cancers and contributes to tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. (E/Z)-AG490 also inhibits JAK2 and JAK3, members of the JAK family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases that are essential for cytokine signaling. By inhibiting these targets, (E/Z)-AG490 blocks multiple signaling pathways that are critical for cell proliferation, survival, and immune function. The racemic mixture contains both the active (E)-isomer and the less active (Z)-isomer, and is commonly used as a research tool for studying JAK/STAT signaling.
ln Vitro
In vitro, (E/Z)-AG490 demonstrates potent inhibition of EGFR, STAT3, and JAK2/3 signaling. The compound effectively inhibits EGFR autophosphorylation and downstream signaling at concentrations in the low micromolar range. (E/Z)-AG490 inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation (p-STAT3) and activation in various cell lines, leading to reduced expression of STAT3 target genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The compound inhibits JAK2/3-mediated STAT phosphorylation in cytokine-stimulated cells. (E/Z)-AG490 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of various cancer cell lines and to induce apoptosis in STAT3-dependent cancer cells. The compound has been used extensively to study the role of JAK/STAT signaling in cancer, inflammation, and immune regulation. The racemic mixture is commonly used in research, though the (E)-isomer is the more active form.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (E/Z)-AG490 has been used in preclinical models to study the role of JAK/STAT signaling in various diseases. In mouse models of cancer, administration of (E/Z)-AG490 (typically at doses of 5-50 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection) results in inhibition of tumor growth and induction of apoptosis in STAT3-dependent tumors. The compound has also been used in models of inflammation and autoimmune diseases, where it reduces inflammatory responses and disease severity. (E/Z)-AG490 inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation in target tissues, confirming target engagement and pathway inhibition. The compound is well-tolerated in these models at therapeutic doses, though its use is limited by its relatively modest potency and lack of selectivity. Despite these limitations, (E/Z)-AG490 has been a valuable tool for validating JAK/STAT as a therapeutic target and for generating proof-of-concept data for the development of more selective JAK/STAT inhibitors.
Enzyme Assay
The inhibitory activity of (E/Z)-AG490 against EGFR, STAT3, and JAK2/3 is assessed using biochemical and cellular assays. In biochemical assays, recombinant kinases are incubated with varying concentrations of (E/Z)-AG490 (0.1-100 μM) and a peptide substrate in the presence of ATP. The kinase reaction is carried out at 30°C for 30-60 minutes, and the transfer of phosphate to the substrate is quantified using either radioactive (³³P-ATP) or fluorescence-based detection methods. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. In cellular assays, EGFR phosphorylation, STAT3 phosphorylation (p-STAT3), and JAK-mediated STAT phosphorylation are measured by Western blot or ELISA after treatment with (E/Z)-AG490. IC50 values for inhibition of phosphorylation are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular activity of (E/Z)-AG490 is evaluated in various cancer cell lines and primary cells. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with (E/Z)-AG490 at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays, and IC50 values are calculated. STAT3 phosphorylation (p-STAT3) is measured by Western blot or ELISA after 1-6 hours of treatment. EGFR phosphorylation is measured by Western blot. Apoptosis is assessed by caspase-3/7 activity and annexin V/PI staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry. The compound's effect on JAK/STAT signaling is confirmed by measuring the expression of STAT target genes by qRT-PCR.
Animal Protocol
In animal studies, (E/Z)-AG490 is administered to rodents via intraperitoneal injection at doses of 5, 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg, once daily, for 7-28 days. In models of cancer (e.g., xenograft models), tumor volume is measured twice weekly with calipers, and tumor growth inhibition is calculated. In models of inflammation, disease severity is assessed by clinical scores, histopathology, and inflammatory markers. STAT3 phosphorylation is measured in tumor or target tissues by Western blot or IHC to confirm target engagement. Blood and plasma are collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers are measured in plasma or tissue to confirm pathway modulation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors B42: Known human metabolites include tyrosine kinase inhibitors B42, 4-O-glucuronide, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors B42, 3-O-glucuronide.
Pharmacokinetic studies of (E/Z)-AG490 in rodents indicate that the compound has moderate bioavailability and a short half-life, requiring frequent dosing in preclinical studies. Following intraperitoneal administration at 10-50 mg/kg, the compound achieves peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) within 0.5-2 hours (Tmax) and has a plasma half-life of 1-3 hours. The compound shows moderate plasma protein binding and distributes to tissues including tumor tissue. Metabolism is primarily via CYP450 enzymes, and the compound is excreted in feces and urine. The relatively short half-life of (E/Z)-AG490 limits its utility in vivo, and researchers often use multiple daily doses to maintain effective concentrations.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology studies of (E/Z)-AG490 are limited as the compound is a research tool. In short-term (7-14 day) rodent studies at doses up to 50 mg/kg/day, the compound is generally well-tolerated with no significant adverse effects on body weight, food consumption, or general health. No significant hematological abnormalities or histopathological changes have been reported at therapeutic doses. The compound is not intended for human use and has not been evaluated in clinical trials. Researchers should follow standard safety precautions when handling the compound.
