Product Description
Ceefourin 1 is a potent and selective inhibitor of multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4). Ceefourin 1 inhibits transport of multiple MRP4 substrates but is not selective for other ABC transporters. Ceefourin 1 is a benzothiazole primarily used as a chemosensitizer in high-risk neuroblastoma.
Ceefourin-1 is a potent and highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4). It inhibits the efflux of a broad range of MRP4 substrates and is highly selective for MRP4 over other ABC transporters, including P-gp, ABCG2, and MRP1.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ceefourin-1 targets multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that mediates the efflux of various endogenous and exogenous substrates, including cyclic nucleotides, prostaglandins, and chemotherapeutic agents. By inhibiting MRP4, Ceefourin-1 potentiates the accumulation of MRP4 substrates and reverses MRP4-mediated drug resistance.
ln Vitro
Ceefourin 1 affects MRP4 of additional ABC transporters, such as MRP1 (ABCC1), P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and ABCG2 (breast cancer protein; BCRP). Ceefourin 1 has good stability and negligible off-target effects. Ceffourin 1 (100 nM-100 μM) exhibits efficacy against seven neuroblastoma cells (BE(2)-C, IMR-32, LAN-1) as well as two normal cells (HSF, MRC5). IMR-32, SK). Four more human liver lines (HEPG2, LNCap, SJ-G2, MCF7) and -N-SH, NBL-WN, and SHEP) exhibit low cytotoxicity (IC50>50) [1]. In HEK293 cells, Ceefourin 1 has an IC50 of 2.5 μM. With an IC50 of 1.5 μM, ceftetraline 1 inhibits D-luciferin breakthrough [1].
In vitro, Ceefourin-1 potentiates global cytosolic cAMP accumulation in BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells following forskolin stimulation. It reverses 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) resistance conferred by MRP4 in HEK293-MRP4 cells, and is more potent than MK-571. Ceefourin-1 exhibits no activity against cell lines overexpressing P-gp (HEK293-Pgp), ABCG2 (HEK293-ABCG2), or MRP1 (MCF7-VP16).
ln Vivo
In vivo, Ceefourin-1 has been studied for its ability to modulate MRP4-mediated transport and reverse drug resistance. As a selective MRP4 inhibitor, it may enhance the efficacy of MRP4-substrate chemotherapeutic agents. Specific in vivo data including efficacy in tumor models and PK profiles are available from published studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro transporter assays for MRP4 inhibition typically use membrane vesicles prepared from cells overexpressing MRP4 or whole cells expressing MRP4. The transport of a fluorescent or radiolabeled MRP4 substrate (e.g., [³H]cAMP, [³H]E217βG, or a fluorescent probe) is measured in the presence of varying concentrations of Ceefourin-1. IC50 values for inhibition of substrate transport are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for MRP4 inhibitors typically use HEK293 cells stably expressing MRP4 or other cell lines with endogenous MRP4 expression. Cells are treated with Ceefourin-1 at various concentrations, and the intracellular accumulation of a fluorescent MRP4 substrate is measured by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. The degree of reversal of MRP4-mediated drug resistance is assessed using cytotoxicity assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for MRP4 inhibitors typically use xenograft tumor models in immunocompromised mice. Animals are implanted with MRP4-overexpressing tumor cells and treated with Ceefourin-1 alone or in combination with an MRP4-substrate chemotherapeutic agent. Tumor growth is monitored, and the compound's ability to reverse drug resistance and enhance antitumor efficacy is assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ceefourin-1 has a molecular weight of 294.42 and is soluble in DMSO (10 mM). It demonstrates good stability and negligible off-target effects. The compound is relatively non-toxic and well tolerated across a broad range of cell lines, with IC50 values typically >50 μM. Detailed PK parameters are available from published studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Ceefourin-1 is relatively non-toxic and well tolerated across a broad range of cell lines, with IC50 values typically >50 μM. It shows no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations required for MRP4 inhibition. Standard toxicity assessments would include acute and repeated-dose toxicity in rodents, as well as genotoxicity evaluations.
