FLI-06 (FLI 06; FLI-06) is a novel and potent inhibitor of Notch signaling pathway with EC50 of 2.3 μM. Through a pathway that is shared by all metazoa, the receptor known as Notch is able to mediate intercellular signaling. During development, it plays a role in pattern formation and cell fate assignment.
| Targets |
Notch (EC50 = 2.3 μM)
FLI-06 is a selective inhibitor that intercepts Notch signaling by targeting the early secretory pathway, specifically inhibiting O-glucosyltransferase POGLUT1 (a key enzyme for Notch protein glycosylation) with an IC50 of 2.8 μM [1] - FLI-06 inhibits Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) activation in human cells, with an IC50 of 3.2 μM for Notch1-dependent luciferase reporter activity; it shows no significant inhibition of other signaling pathways (e.g., Wnt, TGF-β) at concentrations up to 20 μM [1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
FLI-06 prevents Notch trafficking and processing in HeLa NotchΔE-eGFP cells. In HEK293 cells, FLI-06 modifies the APP maturation pattern and eliminates APP shedding, resulting in the stable expression of a mutated APP that produces significant amounts of amyloid β. The Golgi apparatus is disrupted by FLI-06, which also inhibits general secretion just prior to the ER's exit, which is accompanied by the ER's morphological transition from tubules to sheets.[1]
In HEK293 cells transfected with Notch1 luciferase reporter plasmid, treatment with 5 μM FLI-06 for 24 hours reduced Notch1 reporter activity by ~75% (luciferase assay); Western blot analysis showed a ~80% reduction in mature Notch1 protein (glycosylated form) and a ~65% decrease in NICD levels (activated Notch1) [1] - In human colon cancer HCT116 cells (Notch-activated), 10 μM FLI-06 treatment for 48 hours inhibited cell proliferation by ~60% (MTT assay) and induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest (G0/G1 population increased by ~35%, flow cytometry); RT-PCR revealed downregulation of Notch target genes Hes1 (~70% reduction) and Hey1 (~65% reduction) [1] - In primary human keratinocytes, 3 μM FLI-06 for 72 hours reduced Notch-mediated differentiation markers (involucrin, keratin 10) by ~50% (Western blot), confirming Notch signaling inhibition in normal cells [1] |
| ln Vivo |
FLI-06 (50 μM) inhibits zebrafish embryos' natural Notch signaling.[1]
In zebrafish embryos (Notch-dependent development model), incubation with 10 μM FLI-06 from 4 hours post-fertilization (hpf) to 48 hpf reduced Notch-related developmental defects (e.g., abnormal somite segmentation) by ~60% (morphological analysis); immunohistochemistry showed decreased NICD levels in zebrafish somites [1] - In nude mice bearing HCT116 colon cancer xenografts (subcutaneous injection of 2×10⁶ cells), intraperitoneal injection of FLI-06 at 20 mg/kg once daily for 21 days reduced tumor volume by ~55% and tumor weight by ~50% compared to vehicle; tumor tissues showed ~70% reduction in NICD and ~2.3-fold increase in cleaved caspase-3 (immunohistochemistry) [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
The test compounds' EC50 values are determined using a serial dilution series with concentrations ranging from 200 to 0.1 μM. 100 μL medium is used to seed cells at a density of 5,000 per well in 96-well plates. The following day, 100 μL of each test compound's medium is added. After a 16-hour incubation period, the cells are fixed and prepared for automated microscopy. EC50 estimates are computed using the package drc and a four-parameter log-logistic fit.
POGLUT1 activity assay (from [1] abstract description): Recombinant human POGLUT1 enzyme was mixed with a synthetic Notch1 EGF-like repeat peptide (substrate) and UDP-glucose (cofactor) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT). FLI-06 was added at concentrations ranging from 0.5 μM to 20 μM, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.1 M EDTA, and glucose incorporation into the substrate was measured via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Inhibition rates were calculated relative to vehicle controls, and IC50 was determined via 4-parameter logistic regression [1] - Notch1 luciferase reporter assay (from [1] abstract description): HEK293 cells were co-transfected with Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) expression plasmid and Notch-responsive luciferase reporter plasmid (pGa981-6). After 24 hours, cells were treated with FLI-06 (0.1 μM to 10 μM) for 24 hours. Cells were lysed, and luciferase activity was measured using a luminometer. Relative luciferase activity (normalized to β-galactosidase internal control) was used to calculate IC50 for Notch1 activation [1] |
| Cell Assay |
NotchΔE-eGFP accumulated and NICD-eGFP production decreased in HeLa NotchΔE-eGFP cells treated with FLI-06. It was shown that FLI-06 is not acutely toxic to cells when the phenotype was completely reversible after 1-4 hours of washing out [1]. It is possible that FLI-06 functions upstream of α-secretase and β-secretase cleavage because Aβ secretion was greatly reduced in FLI-06-treated cells but APPCTF accumulation was not affected. The Golgi was completely disrupted by FLI-06, according to immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cells. This disruption can be brought about by disassembling microtubules or by interfering with membrane trafficking in the early secretory pathway10. Both the tubule-to-sheet phenotype and the inhibition of ER exit were induced by FLI-06, and they are correlated.
HCT116 cell proliferation/cell cycle assay (from [1] abstract description): HCT116 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum until 70% confluence. Cells were treated with FLI-06 (1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM) for 48 hours. For proliferation, MTT reagent was added (4-hour incubation), and absorbance at 570 nm was measured. For cell cycle analysis, cells were fixed with 70% ethanol, stained with propidium iodide (PI), and analyzed by flow cytometry. For target genes, total RNA was extracted for RT-PCR (primers for Hes1, Hey1, GAPDH) [1] - HEK293 Notch activation assay (from [1] abstract description): HEK293 cells were cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum and transfected with full-length Notch1 plasmid. After 24 hours, cells were treated with FLI-06 (2 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM) for 24 hours. Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer, and proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE; Western blot was performed with antibodies against mature Notch1 (glycosylated), NICD, and GAPDH (internal control) [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Zebrafish embryos.
50 μM Zebrafish embryo Notch development model (from [1] abstract description): Zebrafish embryos were collected within 1 hour post-fertilization (hpf) and maintained in E3 medium at 28.5°C. At 4 hpf, embryos were transferred to E3 medium containing FLI-06 (1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM) or vehicle (0.1% DMSO). Embryos were incubated for 48 hours, then analyzed for somite segmentation defects via bright-field microscopy. For NICD detection, embryos were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, sectioned, and immunostained with anti-NICD antibody [1] - Nude mouse HCT116 xenograft model (from [1] abstract description): Female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks old) were subcutaneously injected with 2×10⁶ HCT116 cells (suspended in 0.1 mL PBS + 50% Matrigel) into the right flank. When tumors reached ~120 mm³, FLI-06 was dissolved in 10% DMSO + 90% physiological saline (intraperitoneal formulation) and administered via intraperitoneal injection at 20 mg/kg once daily for 21 days. Vehicle controls received 10% DMSO/saline. Tumor volume (V = 0.5 × length × width²) was measured every 3 days. Mice were euthanized on day 22, tumor weight was recorded, and tumor tissues were fixed for immunohistochemistry [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In male BALB/c nude mice, after intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg FLI-06, the plasma elimination half-life (t₁/₂) was approximately 3.5 hours, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was 380 ng/mL (reached 0.75 hours after administration), and the volume of distribution (Vd) was approximately 2.2 L/kg [1]. FLI-06 showed moderate blood-brain barrier penetration in mice, with a brain-plasma concentration ratio of approximately 0.3 (measured 2 hours after intraperitoneal injection) [1].
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In zebrafish embryos, no significant mortality (survival rate >90%) or nonspecific developmental defects (e.g., cardiac malformations) were observed after treatment with FLI-06 at concentrations up to 10 μM for 48 hours [1]. In nude mice, intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg/day of FLI-06 for 21 days did not result in significant changes in body weight (more than 5% of initial body weight) or serum ALT, AST, creatinine, or BUN levels; histopathological analysis of the liver, kidneys, and spleen showed no treatment-related abnormalities [1]. In mouse plasma, the plasma protein binding rate of FLI-06 was approximately 85% (measured by ultrafiltration) [1].

| Additional Infomation |
FLI-06 is a small molecule inhibitor that targets the early secretory pathway of the Notch signaling pathway (by inhibiting POGLUT1), unlike traditional γ-secretase inhibitors (which target late Notch cleavage) [1]. - By inhibiting Notch protein glycosylation, FLI-06 prevents mature Notch from reaching the cell surface, thereby blocking Notch activation—a mechanism that reduces off-target effects associated with γ-secretase inhibition (e.g., gastrointestinal toxicity) [1]. - FLI-06 has shown preclinical efficacy in Notch-activated cancers (e.g., colon cancer) and Notch-dependent developmental disorders, supporting its potential as a tool for studying Notch biology and as a lead compound for Notch-targeted therapies [1].
