Product Description

b-AP15 (formerly known as NSC687852; b-AP15; USP14 Inhibitor III; b-AP-15; NSC-687852) is a novel, potent and specific deubiquitinase (DUB) inhibitor of 19S proteasomes activity of Ub-AMC cleavage with potential antineoplastic activity. It inhibits deubiquitinase with an IC50 of 2.1 μM. b-AP15 displays antitumor activity in several preclinical solid tumor models. b-AP15 also triggers time- and dose-dependent apoptosis of the human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines RPMI8226 and U266, as determined by phosphatidylserine exposure. Furthermore, b-AP15 triggered processing of pro-caspase-3 and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in MM cells. b-AP15 also induced caspase-independent apoptosis in primary human natural killer cells. Taken together, b-AP15 may have potential for treatment of multiple myeloma patients.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
UCHL5/Usp14
ln Vitro
The indicated concentrations of b-AP15 are added to purified 19S proteasomes (5 nM), and the cleavage of Ub-AMC is used to measure DUB activity. Using non-linear regression analysis, the IC50 value (2.1±0.411 μM) is ascertained from log concentration curves in Graph Pad Prism. b-AP15 is a proteasome inhibitor of a hitherto undiscovered class that prevents the 19S regulatory particle from deubiquitinating. Polyubiquitin accumulated as a result of b-AP15'sinhibitionof the activity of two 19S regulatory-particle-associated deubiquitinases, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 5 (UCHL5) and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14). Tumor cell apoptosis induced by b-AP15 is not affected by TP53 status or overexpression of the apoptosis inhibitor BCL2[1].Using Ub-AMC as the substrate, the capacity of b-AP15 to inhibit proteasome deubiquitinase activity is ascertained. An observed IC50 is 16.8±2.8 μM[2].A particular USP14 and UCHL5 inhibitor called b-AP15 stops the growth of MM cells and causes them to undergo apoptosis[3].
ln Vivo
In syngenic mouse models, b-AP15 (2.5 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth with less frequent administration schedules. We used a 2-d-on, 2-d-off schedule to administer b-AP15 to C57BL/6J mice with Lewis lung carcinomas (LLCs) and a 1-d-on, 3-d-off schedule to BALB/c mice with orthotopic breast carcinoma (4T1). In the C57BL/6J mice model, T/C=0.16 (P≤0.01) and in the BALB/c mice model, T/C=0.25 (P≤0.001), respectively, b-AP15 significantly inhibited tumor growth. A decrease in the quantity of lung metastases is also noted in the group of mice treated with b-AP15 for 4T1 breast carcinomas[1].
Enzyme Assay
In tests for the inhibition of deubiquitinase, 19S regulatory particle (5 nM), 26S (5 nM). Using a Wallac VICTOR Multilabel counter or a Tecan Infinite M1000 fitted with 380 nm excitation and 460 nm emission filters, researchers observed the cleavage of ubiquitin-AMC (1,000 nM) in UCH-L1 (5 nM), UCH-L3 (0.3 nM), USP2CD (5 nM), USP7CD (5 nM), USP8CD (5 nM), or BAP1 (5 nM) after they were incubated with DMSO or b-AP15.[1].
Cell Assay
Cell viability is monitored by either the fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay or the MTT assay. Using DMSO as the control, cells are seeded into 96-well flat-bottomed plates for the MTT assay, and they are then exposed to medications for an entire night. Each well receives 10 µl of a stock solution containing 5 mg/mL MTT at the conclusion of the incubations, and the plates are then incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. Overnight at 37°C, formazan crystals are dissolved in a 100 µL 10% SDS/10 mM HCl solution. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate reader is used to measure absorbance at 590 nm[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice[1]
In the squamous carcinoma model, female SCID mice are given a subcutaneous injection of 1×10^6 FaDu cells into their right rear flank. The formula for measuring tumor growth is length×width^2×0.44. Mice are randomized to receive either vehicle (n = 10) or b-AP15 (n = 15) at 5 mg per kg of body weight by daily subcutaneous injection after tumors have grown to a size of about 200 mm^3 (defined as day 0).In order to create a colon carcinoma model, we gave female nude mice subcutaneous injections of 2.5×10^6 HCT-116 colon carcinoma cells overexpressing Bcl2 into their right flank. We administered intraperitoneal injections of 5 mg of b-AP15 per kg of body weight to the mice. We subcutaneously injected 2×10^5 LLC cells into the right rear flank of female C57/B6 mice to create the lung carcinoma model. We randomized mice to receive either vehicle (n = 4) or b-AP15 (n = 4) intraperitoneally at 5 mg per kg of body weight after tumors had grown to a size of about 50 mm^3 (defined as day 0). A treatment cycle consisted of 2 days of treatment followed by 2 days of rest (2 days on, 2 days off) for a duration of 2 weeks.
