Product Description

AP-III-a4 (also known as ENOblock) is a novel and potent small molecule inhibitor of enolase which is isolated by small molecule screening in a cancer cell assay to detect cytotoxic agents that function in hypoxic conditions, which has previously been shown to induce drug resistance. AP-III-a4 is the first, nonsubstrate analogue that directly binds to enolase and inhibits its activity (IC50=0.576 uM); inhibit cancer cell metastasis in vivo. In HCT116 cells, AP-III-a4 induces cell death under hypoxia, and inhibits cancer cell migration and invasion by down-regulation of AKT and Bcl-xL expression. In Huh7 hepatocytes and HEK kidney cells, AP-III-a4 induces glucose uptake and inhibits phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) expression. Thus, ENOblock is the first reported enolase inhibitor that is suitable for biological assays. This new chemical tool may also be suitable for further study as a cancer and diabetes drug candidate.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In a dose-dependent manner, AP-III-a4 (ENOblock) (0-10 μM; 24 h) decreases the viability of HCT116 cells[1]. Enolase is immediately bound by AP-III-a4, which therefore suppresses its activity[1]. III-a4 (0-10 μM; 24 or 48 h) causes apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibits their migration and invasion[1]. In hepatocytes and kidney cells, AP-III-a4 (10 μM; 24 h) can stimulate glucose uptake and decrease the production of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)[1].
ln Vivo
In zebrafish, AP-III-a4 (ENOblock) (10 μM; 96 h) suppresses the gluconeogenesis regulator PEPCK and prevents cancer cells from metastasizing[1].

  • 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)
