| Targets |
MARK (microtubule affinity regulating kinase). MARK-IN-4 is a potent MARK inhibitor with an IC50 of 1 nM. MARK phosphorylates microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) such as tau, regulating microtubule dynamics. Inhibition of MARK has been proposed as a strategy to prevent tau hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangle formation in Alzheimer's disease.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MARK-IN-4 demonstrates potent inhibition of MARK with an IC50 of 1 nM in enzymatic assays. This high potency makes it one of the most potent MARK inhibitors described. The compound's activity suggests it could effectively block MARK-mediated tau phosphorylation. Detailed selectivity profiling against other kinases has not been disclosed in publicly available literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of MARK-IN-4 has not been extensively characterized in published literature. The compound is primarily used as an in vitro research tool for studying MARK function. In vivo studies in Alzheimer's disease models would be needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential. Currently, no in vivo efficacy data have been reported in peer-reviewed literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for MARK inhibition are performed using recombinant MARK kinase and a suitable peptide substrate (e.g., tau-derived peptide) in the presence of ATP. MARK-IN-4 is incubated at varying concentrations (typically pM to μM range) with the enzyme and substrate. Phosphorylation is detected by radioactivity (³³P-ATP) or by fluorescence-based methods (e.g., ADP-Glo, Transcreener). IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cells (e.g., neuronal cell lines or primary neurons) are cultured and treated with MARK-IN-4 at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 10 μM for 24–72 hours. MARK inhibition is assessed by measuring tau phosphorylation at MARK-specific sites by Western blot. Microtubule dynamics are evaluated by tubulin staining and imaging. Cell viability and neuronal health are assessed by standard assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for MARK-IN-4 have not been reported in publicly available literature. The compound is primarily used for in vitro research. Future studies in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., tauopathy models) would be needed to evaluate in vivo efficacy in preventing neurofibrillary tangle pathology.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for MARK-IN-4 have not been published. The compound has a molecular weight of 421.52 and formula C21H23N7OS. Solubility information is limited. In vivo PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, brain penetration, and tissue distribution have not been characterized. For in vivo use, formulation would need to be developed, with particular attention to blood-brain barrier penetration.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data for MARK-IN-4 have not been published. The compound is for research use only and not approved for human therapeutic applications. No systematic toxicological evaluation has been performed. Standard safety precautions for handling kinase inhibitors should be observed.
