| Targets |
Cridanimod targets multiple pathways. It acts as a potent STING agonist that directly binds to STING and triggers a strong antiviral response through the TBK1/IRF3 route. It is a progesterone receptor (PR) activator mediated through induction of IFNα and IFNβ expression. It is also an interferon inducer.

| ln Vitro |
Cridanimod is a potent STING agonist that directly binds to STING and triggers a strong antiviral response through the TBK1/IRF3 route. It induces the expression of IFNα and IFNβ. It significantly increases PR expression. It has unique dual pharmacology as a low molecular weight compound.
|
| ln Vivo |
The duration of cridanimod (intramuscular; 1-6 mg; twice weekly) was noticeably greater. IFNα and -β are markedly and dose-dependently increased in mice when treated with crinanimod [1].
Cridanimod can increase progesterone receptor expression, with potential antineoplastic adjuvant activity. Upon intramuscular administration, it is able to induce the expression of PR in endometrial cancer, which could increase the sensitivity of endometrial cancer cells to progestin monotherapy. It has potential in studying hormone-responsive cancers and immune-mediated therapies. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cridanimod is evaluated in cell-free assays for its ability to bind to STING and activate the TBK1/IRF3 pathway. The compound is incubated with STING protein, and the activation of downstream signaling is measured using biochemical assays. Its ability to induce interferon expression can be assessed using cell-free transcription assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cridanimod is assessed in cell-based assays using various cell lines. Cells are treated with Cridanimod, and the expression of IFNα and IFNβ is measured by qPCR or ELISA. Progesterone receptor expression is measured by Western blot analysis. STING pathway activation is assessed by measuring TBK1 and IRF3 phosphorylation.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Athymic mice with hec50co cells [1]. 1]
Doses: 1, 3, 6 mg Route of Administration: IM; twice weekly Experimental Results: Dramatically prolonged survival. Cridanimod is administered intramuscularly in animal models to evaluate its effects on progesterone receptor expression and antitumor activity. It has been studied in models of endometrial cancer. Efficacy is assessed by measuring PR expression, tumor growth, and immune response markers. |

| Additional Infomation |
Cridanimod belongs to the acridine class of compounds, and its function is similar to that of acridinium. Cridanimod is a small molecule that increases the expression of the progesterone receptor (PR), exhibiting potential adjuvant antitumor activity. After intramuscular injection, crridanimod can induce PR expression in endometrial cancer cells, thereby increasing the sensitivity of endometrial cancer cells to progesterone monotherapy. When used in combination with progesterone, it can eliminate cancer cells by enhancing PR-mediated signaling, thereby inhibiting the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland through a negative feedback mechanism, ultimately inhibiting the release of estrogen from the ovary. This can inhibit the growth of estrogen-dependent tumor cells. Furthermore, this drug can also increase the production and release of interferon (IFN) α and β. Progesterone receptor (PR) is frequently downregulated in endometrial cancer, leading to resistance to progesterone-mediated hormone therapy.
Cridanimod is also known as XBIO-101, XBIO101, and Virexxa. It is a small-molecule immunomodulator and interferon inducer. It is a STING agonist. It is not approved for clinical use. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.08 mg/mL (8.21 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
