Product Description
Indirubin analogue E804 is a potent inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF1R) with IC50 of 0.65 μM.
Indirubin Derivative E804 is a water-soluble synthetic analog of indirubin, a bis-indole alkaloid from Indigo naturalis. It is a potent multi-kinase inhibitor targeting IGF1R (IC50 0.65 µM), CDK2/CycE (EC50 0.23 µM), VEGFR-2, and Src, and it blocks Src-Stat3 signaling. This compound exhibits significant antitumor activity by suppressing proliferation, angiogenesis, and survival in cancer cells, making it a valuable tool for studying kinase-driven oncogenesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IGF1R, CDK2/CycE, VEGFR-2, Src kinase, and the Stat3 pathway. By inhibiting these targets, E804 disrupts multiple hallmarks of cancer, including cell cycle progression, survival signaling, and new blood vessel formation. Its ability to block constitutive Stat3 activation is particularly relevant in breast and prostate cancers.
ln Vitro
Water-soluble isatin derivative indirubin derivative E804 has an IC50 of 0.65 μM and is a strong inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R). Additionally, CDK2/CycE is inhibited by Indirubin Derivative E804 with an EC50 of 0.23 μM[1].
In vitro, E804 potently inhibits IGF1R autophosphorylation and downstream Akt/ERK activation. It also inhibits CDK2 activity, causing G1/S arrest. It blocks VEGF-induced VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and endothelial tube formation. In cancer cell lines, it reduces Stat3 phosphorylation and downregulates anti-apoptotic genes, leading to caspase-dependent apoptosis. IC50 values vary by cell line, typically in sub-micromolar range.
ln Vivo
In vivo, E804 has shown tumor growth inhibition in mouse xenograft models of breast and prostate cancer when administered orally or intraperitoneally. Tumor microvessel density is reduced, indicating anti-angiogenic effects. Biomarker analyses confirm target inhibition in tumor tissues. However, detailed pharmacokinetic and dose-response data are limited in public literature; further studies are needed to establish optimal dosing and efficacy schedules.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free kinase assays use purified recombinant kinases (IGF1R, CDK2/CycE, VEGFR-2, Src). Reactions contain ATP, peptide substrate, and varying E804 concentrations. Phosphorylation is measured by radiometric (33P-ATP) or fluorescence-based (ADP-Glo) methods. IC50 values are derived from dose-response curves. For Stat3 inhibition, a DNA-binding ELISA or electrophoretic mobility shift assay can be used with purified Stat3 protein.
Cell Assay
Cancer cells (e.g., MCF-7, PC-3, HCT116) are treated with 0.1–10 µM E804 for 24–72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT or SRB. Apoptosis is quantified by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry and caspase-3/7 activity. Western blotting assesses phospho-IGF1R, phospho-Stat3, and downstream targets. Cell cycle analysis is performed by propidium iodide staining. The anti-angiogenic effect is evaluated in HUVEC tube formation assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy studies use female athymic nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of breast or prostate cancer. When tumors reach ~100 mm³, mice receive E804 orally (e.g., 50 mg/kg) daily for 2–3 weeks. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly. At study end, tumors are excised for immunohistochemistry (CD31 for microvessels, phospho-Stat3, Ki67) and Western blotting. Plasma drug levels may be analyzed by LC-MS/MS for pharmacokinetic correlation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Molecular formula C20H19N3O4, MW 365.38. Appearance: brown to reddish-brown solid. Solubility: DMSO ~125 mg/mL (~342 mM). For in vivo, formulations may include 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% saline. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years; solution at -80°C for 1 year. Purity ≥98% by HPLC.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No comprehensive toxicology data are publicly available. As a multi-kinase inhibitor, it may have off-target effects on normal tissues. In vitro cytotoxicity in non-malignant cells (e.g., MCF-10A) should be assessed to determine selectivity. Standard genotoxicity and cardiovascular safety assays (hERG) are recommended before further development. In animal studies, weight loss and gastrointestinal disturbances may occur at high doses.

Additional Infomation
E804 is a research compound, not approved for human use. It is a valuable pharmacological probe for studying IGF1R, CDK2, and Stat3 signaling in cancer. It is more water-soluble than parent indirubin, facilitating formulation. It has been used in combination with other targeted agents in preclinical models. No clinical trials have been reported. Its multi-targeted profile makes it useful for investigating cross-talk between growth factor and cytokine pathways.
