Product Description
β-catenin-IN-3 (compound C2) is a potent and specific β-catenin (β-catenin) inhibitor (antagonist) with Kd of 54.96 nM. Acts by targeting a cryptic allosteric regulatory site in β-catenin. β-catenin-IN-3 significantly reduces β-catenin-driven cancer/tumor cell viability.
beta-catenin-IN-3 (1005288-15-2, Compound C2) is a selective, small-molecule, allosteric inhibitor of beta-catenin (CTNNB1), a key mediator of the Wnt signaling pathway. It binds to a cryptic allosteric regulatory site on the surface of beta-catenin with a KD of 54.96 nM, significantly reducing cell viability in beta-catenin-driven cancers (colorectal, hepatocellular, etc.).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Target: beta-catenin (CTNNB1, KD = 54.96 nM). beta-catenin-IN-3 binds to an allosteric site on the surface of beta-catenin, distinct from the binding site of TCF/LEF transcription factors. This binding destabilizes beta-catenin or prevents its interaction with TCF/LEF, blocking the transcription of Wnt target genes (c-MYC, cyclin D1, AXIN2, LGR5) and reducing beta-catenin-driven cancer cell proliferation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, beta-catenin-IN-3 binds to beta-catenin with a KD of 54.96 nM measured by surface plasmon resonance. It significantly inhibits the viability of beta-catenin-driven cancer cell lines, including colorectal cancer (HCT116, DLD1) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, with EC50 values in the low micromolar range (1-10 uM). It reduces beta-catenin/TCF transcriptional activity by >50% at concentrations of 5-10 uM.
ln Vivo
No in vivo efficacy data have been published for beta-catenin-IN-3. Based on its potent beta-catenin binding and anti-proliferative activity in vitro, it is expected to suppress tumor growth in xenograft models of colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and other Wnt-driven cancers. The compound is a promising lead for developing beta-catenin-targeted cancer therapies.
Enzyme Assay
For cell-free binding assays (SPR): recombinant beta-catenin protein (50-100 ug) is immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. Varying concentrations of beta-catenin-IN-3 (0.1-1000 nM) are injected in running buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20) at a flow rate of 30 uL/min. Association and dissociation phases are monitored. KD (54.96 nM) is calculated using BIAevaluation software. For fluorescence polarization competition assays: labeled beta-catenin inhibitor probe is used to measure displacement.
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays: beta-catenin-driven cancer cell lines (HCT116, DLD1 colorectal; HepG2, Huh7 hepatocellular) are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with beta-catenin-IN-3 (0.1-100 uM, 48-72 h). Cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. beta-catenin/TCF transcriptional activity is measured by TOPFlash/FOPFlash luciferase reporter assays. Cells are co-transfected with Super 8× TOPFlash or FOPFlash reporter plasmids and treated with compound for 24-48 h. Luciferase activity is normalized to Renilla. c-MYC and cyclin D1 expression is measured by qPCR and Western blot.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies: potential protocol involves xenograft mouse models bearing HCT116 or DLD1 colorectal cancer cells, or HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. beta-catenin-IN-3 would be administered intraperitoneally or orally (10-50 mg/kg) daily for 2-3 weeks. Tumor volume is measured by calipers. Tumor tissues are harvested for Western blot analysis of c-MYC, cyclin D1, and beta-catenin target genes, and for immunohistochemistry (Ki67, cleaved caspase-3). No published data available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PK properties of beta-catenin-IN-3: For a small molecule beta-catenin inhibitor (MW 484.25, ClogP ∼4.5), predicted PK in rodents after oral administration: moderate oral bioavailability (∼20-40%), Tmax 2-4 h, plasma half-life 4-8 h. Volume of distribution is moderate to large (∼3-5 L/kg), suggesting extensive tissue distribution. Plasma protein binding is high (>90%). Metabolism is likely via CYP450-mediated oxidation. The compound is soluble in DMSO, and in vivo formulation may use DMSO:PEG300:Tween80:Saline (10:40:5:45). No formal PK studies have been published.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data have been reported for beta-catenin-IN-3. Based on its mechanism, inhibition of beta-catenin in normal tissues may cause adverse effects, including impaired intestinal homeostasis (since Wnt/beta-catenin is essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance), reduced bone formation (via effects on osteoblasts), and potential hair loss (as beta-catenin is required for hair follicle development). No acute toxicity or LD50 studies have been published. The compound is for research use only.

Additional Infomation
beta-catenin-IN-3 is a research compound not yet approved for clinical use. It is a valuable chemical probe for studying Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and for validating beta-catenin as a therapeutic target in cancer. It has potential applications in colorectal cancer (where APC mutations cause beta-catenin activation), hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and other Wnt-driven malignancies. It is a promising lead for developing beta-catenin-targeted therapies that are selective for the allosteric site, potentially overcoming off-target toxicities.
