| Targets |
AS-1134900 specifically targets the metabolic enzyme malic enzyme 1 (ME1). ME1 is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate, producing NADPH from NADP+. As an uncompetitive allosteric inhibitor, AS-1134900 binds only to the enzyme-substrate complex, preventing catalytic turnover. This mechanism is highly specific and reduces the risk of off-target effects.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, AS-1134900 potently inhibits the catalytic activity of recombinant human ME1 with an IC50 of 0.73 microM. In cell-based assays, treatment with AS-1134900 leads to a reduction in the cellular NADPH/NADP+ ratio and increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. This metabolic stress impairs the growth of cancer cells that are dependent on ME1 for lipogenesis and protection against oxidative stress. It is a valuable tool for studying cancer cell metabolism.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, AS-1134900 has shown potential in cancer models. Studies have demonstrated that inhibition of ME1 with this compound can suppress tumor growth in xenograft mouse models. By blocking ME1, the compound disrupts the tumor's ability to manage oxidative stress and synthesize lipids, both of which are essential for rapid proliferation. These preclinical results validate ME1 as a promising therapeutic target for oncology.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell-based enzyme inhibition assays, recombinant human ME1 is expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of AS-1134900 (0-100 microM) in a 96-well plate in an assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4). The reaction is started by adding the substrate (L-malic acid) and cofactor (NADP+). The production of NADPH is measured continuously by the increase in absorbance at 340 nm using a plate reader. The IC50 is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, cancer cell lines known to be dependent on ME1 (e.g., pancreatic or lung cancer cells) are seeded in 96-well plates. After 24 hours, cells are treated with a 2-fold dilution series of AS-1134900 (e.g., 0.1-100 microM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured using a standard MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. Additionally, intracellular NADPH/NADP+ ratios are measured using a commercially available colorimetric or fluorometric detection kit to confirm target engagement.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal models, a standard xenograft mouse model is used. Immunodeficient mice (nude) are subcutaneously injected with ME1-dependent cancer cells (e.g., H1299 lung cancer cells). Once tumors reach 100-150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups. AS-1134900 is administered daily via intraperitoneal (IP) injection at doses ranging from 10-50 mg/kg. Tumor volume is measured every 2-3 days with calipers. Body weight is monitored to assess tolerability. At study endpoint, tumors are excised for analysis of ME1 activity and NADPH levels.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a small molecule, the pharmacokinetic properties of AS-1134900 would be evaluated in rodent models. A typical PK study involves administering a single IV (1 mg/kg) and PO (10 mg/kg) dose of AS-1134900 to Sprague-Dawley rats. Blood samples are collected at multiple time points (0-24 hours). Plasma concentrations are analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Non-compartmental analysis (NCA) is used to determine IV clearance (CL), volume of distribution (Vd), half-life (T1/2), and oral bioavailability (F%). These parameters guide the dosing regimen for efficacy studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
AS-1134900 is a preclinical research compound, and formal toxicology data is not publicly available. In vitro safety profiling would be conducted using a panel of 50-100 off-targets, including GPCRs, ion channels (e.g., hERG), and kinases. Dose-limiting toxicity in animal models would be determined by conducting a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) study. Mice would be treated with increasing doses of AS-1134900 daily for 5 days, and severe toxicity (weight loss >20%, death) would be used to define the MTD.
|
| Additional Infomation |
AS-1134900 is a research tool and is not approved for clinical use. Malic enzyme 1 (ME1) is considered a "metabolic checkpoint" in cancer. It is frequently upregulated in tumors to support rapid proliferation and to counter oxidative stress. By inhibiting ME1, AS-1134900 increases oxidative stress and reduces lipid synthesis, which are synthetic lethal vulnerabilities in certain cancers. This compound is a valuable chemical probe for validating ME1 as an anti-cancer target. Its uncompetitive mechanism of inhibition (binding only to the enzyme-substrate complex) often confers high selectivity and a lower risk of toxicity compared to competitive inhibitors.
