Product Description
DRI-C21045 (compound 10) is a potent and specific inhibitor of the CD40-CD40L costimulatory protein-protein interaction (PPI) with IC50 of 0.17 μM. DRI-C21045 showed concentration-dependent inhibition of CD40L-induced NF-κB activation and B cell growth/proliferation with IC50 of 17.1 μM and 4.5 μM, respectively.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DRI-C21045 targets CD40-CD40L costimulatory protein-protein interaction (PPI) (IC₅₀ = 0.17 μM) [1, 2, 4, 6]
DRI-C21045 inhibits CD40L-induced NF-κB activation (IC₅₀ = 17.1 μM) and CD40L-induced B cell proliferation (IC₅₀ = 4.5 μM) [2, 4, 6]
ln Vitro
CD40L-induced NF-κB activation in CD40 sensor cells is concentration-dependently inhibited by DRI-C21045 (3.2-100 μM; 18 h) [1]. Primary B cells' CD40L-induced functional activation is blocked by DRI-C21045 (0.6–50 μM; 48 hours) [1]. In THP-1 cells, CD40L-induced MHC-II upregulation is inhibited by DRI-C21045 (0.4-50 μM; 48 hours) [1]. The 48-hour DRI-C21045 (2-100 μM) inhibits the proliferation of B cells induced by CD40L [1]. At concentrations of up to 500 µM, DRI-C21045 exhibits no potential genotoxicity and no indications of cytotoxicity [1].
- In cell-free ELISA-type assay, DRI-C21045 concentration-dependently inhibited human CD40-CD40L interaction, with no significant inhibition of human TNF-R1-TNF-α interaction at effective concentrations [1]
- In CD40 sensor cells, DRI-C21045 (3.2–100 μM, 18 h) concentration-dependently inhibited CD40L (20 ng/mL)-induced NF-κB activation, with an anti-CD40L antibody as positive control [1, 2]
- In primary human B cells stimulated with IL-4 (0.2 μg/mL) and CD40L (0.2 μg/mL), DRI-C21045 (0.6–50 μM, 48 h) blocked CD40L-induced functional activation (AID activation quantified via fluorescent marker by flow cytometry) and (2–100 μM, 48 h) inhibited CD40L-induced B cell proliferation [1, 2]
- In THP-1 myeloid cells, DRI-C21045 (0.4–50 μM, 48 h) inhibited CD40L-induced MHC-II upregulation [2]
- At concentrations up to 500 μM, DRI-C21045 showed no potential genotoxicity or cytotoxicity [2]
ln Vivo
In a mouse skin allograft model, DRI-C21045 (30 mg/kg; daily, subcutaneous; in 20% HPβCD) prolongs graft life [1]. In draining lymph nodes (DLN), DRI-C21045 (20–60 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection twice daily; dissolved in 20% HPβCD) suppresses T cell growth induced by alloantigen [1].
- In a mouse skin allograft model (full-thickness ear skin transplantation from Balb/c to dorsal thorax of C57BL/6 mice), DRI-C21045 (30 mg/kg, daily subcutaneous injection in 20% HPβCD) combined with CTLA4-Ig (250 μg on days 0, 2, 4, 6) significantly prolonged skin allograft survival compared to CTLA4-Ig alone [1, 2]
- In Balb/c mice receiving footpad injection of DBA-2 mouse splenocytes, DRI-C21045 (20–60 mg/kg, twice daily subcutaneous injection in 20% HPβCD from day -1 to 3) dose-dependently suppressed alloantigen-induced T cell expansion in draining popliteal lymph nodes [1, 2]
Enzyme Assay
- Cell-free CD40-CD40L interaction assay: The interaction between human CD40 and CD40L was quantified using an ELISA-type assay. DRI-C21045 at different concentrations was added, and the inhibitory effect was evaluated by measuring normalized percent binding. Data were presented as average ± SD from 3 independent experiments with triplicates per condition, and standard binding curves were fitted [1]
- CD40L-induced NF-κB activation assay in CD40 sensor cells: CD40 sensor cells were treated with DRI-C21045 at various concentrations (3.2–100 μM) for 18 h, then stimulated with CD40L (20 ng/mL). NF-κB activation level was detected, and data were collected from 4 independent experiments with duplicates per condition, normalized to CD40L-activated cells alone [1, 2]
Cell Assay
- Primary human B cell functional activation assay: Human B cells were transfected with a lentiviral construct containing the aicda promoter/enhancer fused to Ds-Red reporter. Transfected cells were treated with DRI-C21045 (0.6–50 μM) and stimulated with IL-4 (0.2 μg/mL) + CD40L (0.2 μg/mL) for 48 h. AID activation was evaluated by Ds-Red level via flow cytometry, with an anti-CD40L antibody (33.3 nM) as positive control [1, 2]
- Primary human B cell proliferation assay: Primary human B cells were treated with DRI-C21045 (2–100 μM) and stimulated with CD40L for 48 h. Cell proliferation was measured to assess inhibitory effect [2]
- THP-1 cell MHC-II upregulation assay: THP-1 cells were treated with DRI-C21045 (0.4–50 μM) and stimulated with CD40L for 48 h. MHC-II expression level was detected to evaluate inhibitory activity [2]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Full-thickness ear skin transplantation from BALB/c to dorsal thorax of C57BL/6 [1]
Doses: 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: daily subcutaneous injection; in 20% w/v hydroxypropyl-β-cyclo Administration of dextrin (HPβCD) in solution resulted in prolonged skin allograft survival.
- Mouse skin allograft experiment: C57BL/6 mice were transplanted with full-thickness ear skin from Balb/c mice. Mice were treated with DRI-C21045 (30 mg/kg, daily subcutaneous injection) dissolved in 20% w/v hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), combined with CTLA4-Ig (250 μg administered on days 0, 2, 4, 6). Graft survival time was monitored, with 5–8 mice per group [1, 2]
- Mouse draining lymph node (DLN) T cell expansion experiment: Balb/c mice received footpad injection of DBA-2 mouse splenocytes. Mice were treated with DRI-C21045 (20–60 mg/kg, twice daily subcutaneous injection) dissolved in 20% HPβCD from day -1 to 3. On day 3 post-alloantigen challenge, popliteal DLNs were collected and DLN cell count was performed to assess T cell expansion, with 3–4 mice per group [1, 2]
- Mouse pharmacokinetic experiment: Mice received a single subcutaneous dose of DRI-C21045 (1.6 mg/mouse). Plasma concentrations of DRI-C21045 were measured at different time points, and data were fitted with a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model with first-order absorption and elimination (n = 4, average ± SD) [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
- In mice, after a single subcutaneous injection of DRI-C21045 (1.6 mg/mouse), the plasma concentration-time curve conformed to a one-compartment model of first-order absorption and first-order elimination [1].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In vitro studies showed that DRI-C21045 at concentrations up to 500 μM did not exhibit cytotoxicity or genotoxicity [2]. In vivo studies showed that mice treated with DRI-C21045 at doses up to 60 mg/kg (twice daily subcutaneous injection) did not show significant toxicity (e.g., weight loss, clinical symptoms) [1, 2].
