| Targets |
FLLL31 targets the STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) transcription factor, which is involved in cancer progression, inflammation, and immune regulation. It selectively binds to Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and the STAT3 Src homology-2 (SH2) domain, preventing STAT3 phosphorylation and DNA-binding activity. This inhibition blocks STAT3-mediated gene expression and downstream signaling.

| ln Vitro |
In MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, tetramethylcurcumin (FLLL31; 2.5 and 5 µM; for 24 hours) downregulates DNA-binding activity and STAT3 phosphorylation [1]. Tetramethylcurcumin prevents cell invasion and viability. Tetramethylcurcumin can block a number of oncogenic processes and cause apoptosis in breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines. It is a powerful inhibitor of STAT3 phosphorylation, DNA binding activity, and transactivation in vitro [1].
FLLL31 (2.5 and 5 µM; for 24 hours) downregulates STAT3 phosphorylation and DNA-binding activity in MDA-MB-231 breast and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells. It inhibits LPS-induced increases in nitrite, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels in primary mouse macrophages. The compound's anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects have been demonstrated in various cell-based assays. |
| ln Vivo |
FLLL31 exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects in vivo. By inhibiting STAT3 signaling, it reduces tumor growth and inflammation in animal models. The compound's curcumin-derived structure and improved pharmacokinetic properties make it a valuable tool for studying the role of STAT3 in cancer and inflammatory diseases.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cellular enzyme assays, FLLL31's inhibition of JAK2 kinase activity can be evaluated using purified JAK2 enzyme in a kinase assay. The enzyme is incubated with ATP and a peptide substrate in the presence of varying concentrations of FLLL31. Phosphorylation of the substrate is measured using a radioactive or luminescence-based assay. IC₅₀ values are determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for FLLL31 involve treating cancer cells or immune cells with the compound and measuring STAT3 phosphorylation and downstream target gene expression. STAT3 phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies. STAT3 DNA-binding activity is measured using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) or a DNA-binding ELISA. Cell viability and apoptosis are assessed using MTT and flow cytometry.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with FLLL31 involve administering the compound to mouse xenograft models of cancer or models of inflammation. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with FLLL31 via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection, and tumor growth inhibition is monitored. In inflammatory models, the compound's effects on cytokine production and tissue inflammation are assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
FLLL31 has a molecular weight of 424.49 and a molecular formula of C₂₅H₂₈O₆. It is a solid at room temperature and is typically stored at -20°C. Purity is typically ≥95%. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. It is stable under recommended storage conditions and is protected from light and moisture.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for FLLL31 are limited as it is a research compound. As a curcumin analog, it is generally considered to have low toxicity, but high doses may cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
