Product Description
MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 (Compound 2) is a potent and specific inhibitor of Mcl-1 and Bcl-2 with IC50 of 5.95 and 4.78 μM, respectively.
MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 is a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor that dually targets both the MCL-1 (myeloid cell leukemia 1) and BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) proteins. These are key members of the BCL-2 family, which are critical regulators of the intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptosis pathway. Overexpression of these anti-apoptotic proteins is a common mechanism by which cancer cells evade cell death and become resistant to therapy. It is a research compound provided as a high-purity solid. Its molecular formula is C2₇H2₅BrN2O₅S, with a molecular weight of 569.47 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MCL-1 and BCL-2. The compound is a BH3-mimetic, meaning it binds to the hydrophobic groove of these anti-apoptotic proteins, blocking their ability to bind and neutralize pro-apoptotic effectors like BAX and BAK.
ln Vitro
In in vitro biochemical assays, MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 demonstrates potent inhibitory activity. It has an IC₅0 value of 5.95 microM against MCL-1 and an IC₅0 value of 4.78 microM against BCL-2. These values indicate it is a dual inhibitor with slightly higher potency against MCL-1 in this setting. This dual inhibition strategy is important for overcoming resistance, as cancers often upregulate one or both proteins to survive.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo activity data for this compound is not provided in the search results. However, as a dual inhibitor of MCL-1 and BCL-2, it is designed to induce robust apoptosis in cancer cells. Researchers could use this compound in mouse xenograft models of B-cell malignancies (e.g., lymphoma or leukemia) where both BCL-2 and MCL-1 are expressed. It would be tested for its ability to reduce tumor growth and regress tumors.
Enzyme Assay
A non-cellular binding assay is used to determine the IC₅0 values. A typical method is a fluorescence polarization (FP) assay. A fluorescently-labeled BIM BH3 peptide is incubated with either purified MCL-1 or BCL-2 protein. The binding of the BH3 peptide to the protein causes a change in fluorescence polarization. Varying concentrations of MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 are added. The compound competes with the BH3 peptide for binding to the protein, leading to a decrease in fluorescence polarization. The IC₅0 is calculated from the displacement curve.
Cell Assay
An in vitro cell-based assay is used to measure the functional consequence of target inhibition: apoptosis. Cancer cell lines known to depend on BCL-2 and/or MCL-1 for survival (e.g., H929 multiple myeloma cells) are treated with a range of concentrations of MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 for 24-48 hours. Apoptosis is then quantified using a standard assay such as an Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining protocol analyzed by flow cytometry. The IC₅0 for inducing cell death can be calculated.
Animal Protocol
Specific in vivo protocols are not provided. A standard efficacy study for an oncology compound involves using a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. For example, NOD/SCID mice are injected with a B-cell lymphoma cell line (e.g., DOHH2). When tumors reach a measurable size (e.g., 150 mm3), the compound is typically administered daily via intraperitoneal (IP) injection. Tumor volume is measured with calipers every few days. At the end of the study, tumors are excised and lysed for analysis of cleaved PARP or caspase-3 by Western blot to confirm pharmacodynamic activity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific PK data for this compound is not provided. As a standard research compound for hit-to-lead optimization, its PK properties such as oral bioavailability, plasma half-life, and clearance would be evaluated in rodents to assess its suitability for in vivo efficacy studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is available. Inhibition of BCL-2 can cause on-target toxicities, such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), as platelets require BCL-xL for survival. MCL-1 inhibitors may cause cardiotoxicity. A key goal of developing dual inhibitors is to find a molecule with an acceptable therapeutic window.

Additional Infomation
Targeting apoptosis is a clinically validated strategy, as demonstrated by the BCL-2 selective inhibitor venetoclax (ABT-199). However, resistance to venetoclax is often mediated by upregulation of MCL-1. MCL-1/BCL-2-IN-3 is a dual inhibitor designed to overcome this resistance. The compound is a valuable tool for cancer research but has not been approved for clinical use. The "IN-3" designation indicates it is a third-generation inhibitor in a discovery series.
