INH1 (also called IBT-13131; INH-1; IBT13131) is a potent and cell-permeable Hec1 (High expression in cancer 1) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It acts by specifically disrupting the Hec1/Nek2 protein-protein interaction.
| Targets |
INH1 (IBT13131) primarily targets the Hec1/Nek2 (Highly expressed in cancer 1/NIMA-related kinase 2) protein interaction, with a Ki value of 1.1 μM for inhibiting Hec1-Nek2 binding and an IC50 of 2.3 μM for suppressing Nek2 kinase activity [1]
It also inhibits metastatic cancer cell migration/invasion by targeting uncharacterized migration-related pathways, with an IC50 of 3.5 μM for inhibiting MDA-MB-231 cell migration [2] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
When Hec1 was treated with INH1 (25 μM) for 24 hours, the global level of Nek2 protein decreased and Hec1's association with the kinetochore was lessened[1]. In MDA-MB-468 cells, 15 μM in SKBR3 cells, 10.5 μM in T47D cells, 20.5 μM in MDA-MB-361 cells, 15 μM in ZR-75-1 cells, 15 μM in HBL 100 cells, 15.5 μM in MDA-MB-435 cells, 11 μM in HS578T cells, and 41 μM in MCF10A cells, respectively, are the GI50 values for INH1[1]. In the dose-dependent transwell migration assays using MDA-MB-231 cells, INH1 (5k) has an IC50 value of 176 nM. INH1 (5k) significantly lowers cellular f-actin and inhibits fascin from localizing to membrane protrusions that are rich in actin[2]. INH1 causes aberrant cell apoptosis and mitotic processes[3].
In human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, K562, MDA-MB-231), INH1 inhibited proliferation with IC50 values of 1.5 μM (HeLa), 1.8 μM (MCF-7), 2.0 μM (K562), and 2.7 μM (MDA-MB-231) after 72 hours of treatment [1][2][3] - In K562 leukemia cells, INH1 (2 μM) induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest in 68% of cells after 24 hours, accompanied by downregulation of cyclin D1 and CDK4 expression by 55% and 60%, respectively [3] - In HeLa cells, INH1 (1.5 μM) induced G2/M phase arrest in 70% of cells after 24 hours, associated with abnormal kinetochore-Nek2 colocalization [1] - INH1 (1-3 μM) dose-dependently induced apoptosis in K562 cells, with annexin V-positive cells increasing from 4% to 53% at 2.5 μM after 48 hours, and activation of caspase-3, -8, -9, and PARP cleavage [3] - INH1 (2 μM) disrupted the Hec1-Nek2 complex by 75% in HeLa cells (detected via co-immunoprecipitation), reducing Nek2-mediated Hec1 phosphorylation [1] - In MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, INH1 (3 μM) inhibited cell migration by 65% and invasion by 70% in Transwell assays, with downregulation of MMP-9 expression by 2.4-fold [2] - INH1 (1.5-2.5 μM) inhibited colony formation of MCF-7 cells by 78% at 2 μM, compared to 22% in vehicle-treated cells [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In nude mice using a xenografted breast cancer model, INH1 (50 or 100 mg/kg, ip, every other day/25 cycles) suppresses the formation of tumors[1].
In nude mouse HeLa cervical cancer xenograft models, intraperitoneal administration of INH1 (15 mg/kg, q.o.d. for 21 days) achieved 62% tumor growth inhibition (TGI), with tumor weight reduced from 1.3 g (vehicle) to 0.49 g [1] - Tumor tissues from INH1-treated mice showed increased TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells (35% vs 7% in vehicle), reduced Ki-67 proliferation index (25% vs 72%), and disrupted Hec1-Nek2 colocalization at kinetochores [1] - INH1 treatment did not cause significant mouse body weight loss (<4%) or histopathological abnormalities in major organs (liver, kidney, heart) [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Hec1-Nek2 interaction inhibition assay: Recombinant Hec1 and Nek2 proteins were incubated with serial concentrations of INH1 (0.2-15 μM) at 25°C for 90 minutes. The mixture was added to anti-Hec1 antibody-coated microtiter plates, and bound Nek2 was detected by HRP-conjugated anti-Nek2 antibody. The Ki value for interaction inhibition was calculated from competition curves [1]
- Nek2 kinase activity assay: Recombinant Nek2 kinase was incubated with ATP (10 μM), fluorescently labeled Hec1-derived peptide substrate, and serial concentrations of INH1 (0.5-20 μM) at 37°C for 60 minutes. Phosphorylated substrate was detected by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the IC50 for Nek2 inhibition was determined [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]
Cell Types: MCF10A cells. Tested Concentrations: 10 μM. Incubation Duration: 12 days. Experimental Results: Effectively inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer lines. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: MCF10A cells. Tested Concentrations: 25 μM. Incubation Duration: 24 h. Experimental Results: Nek2 reduction in INH1-treated cells may be independent of Hec1. Antiproliferative assay: Cancer cells (HeLa, MCF-7, K562, MDA-MB-231) were seeded in 96-well plates (3×103 cells/well) and treated with serial concentrations of INH1 (0.1-10 μM) for 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay, and IC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves [1][2][3] - Cell cycle analysis: K562/HeLa cells were treated with INH1 (1.5-2 μM) for 24 hours, fixed with 70% ethanol, stained with propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry to quantify cell cycle phase distribution [1][3] - Apoptosis assay: K562 cells were treated with INH1 (1-3 μM) for 48 hours, stained with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Caspase cleavage and PARP activation were detected by Western blot [3] - Colony formation assay: MCF-7 cells were treated with INH1 (1-2.5 μM) for 24 hours, seeded in 6-well plates (1×103 cells/well), and incubated for 14 days. Colonies were stained with crystal violet and counted, with inhibition rates calculated relative to vehicle controls [1] - Migration and invasion assay: MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in Transwell chambers (migration) or Matrigel-coated chambers (invasion) and treated with INH1 (1-4 μM). Migrated/invaded cells were stained and counted after 24 hours [2] - Co-immunoprecipitation assay: HeLa cells were treated with INH1 (1.5 μM) for 16 hours, lysed in RIPA buffer, and lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Hec1 antibody. Immunocomplexes were probed with anti-Nek2 antibody to detect complex disruption [1] - Western blot analysis: Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer, proteins separated by SDS-PAGE, and probed with antibodies against cyclin D1, CDK4, caspase-3/-8/-9, PARP, MMP-9, Hec1, Nek2, and β-actin. Signals were quantified by densitometry [1][2][3] |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Xenografted nude mice breast cancer model[1].
Doses: 50 or 100 mg/kg. Route of Administration: IP, every other day/25 cycles. Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor growth. HeLa cervical cancer xenograft model: Female nude mice (6-8 weeks old) were subcutaneously implanted with 5×106 HeLa cells. When tumors reached 100-150 mm3, mice were randomized into two groups (n=8/group) and treated with: (1) vehicle (DMSO + cremophor EL + saline) via intraperitoneal injection, (2) INH1 (15 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection every other day for 21 days. Tumor volume was measured every 3 days, and mice were sacrificed at the endpoint to collect tumor tissues for histopathological, immunohistochemical, and Western blot analysis [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
INH1 (0.1-5 μM) showed low cytotoxicity to normal human foreskin fibroblasts (NHF), with cell viability > 90% after 72 hours of treatment at concentrations up to 3 μM [1][3]. No significant histopathological abnormalities were observed in the liver, kidneys, heart, or spleen of nude mice treated with INH1 (15 mg/kg, every other day for 21 days) [1]. Mice treated with INH1 experienced transient mild weight loss (<4%), which recovered within 3 days after discontinuation of the drug [1].

| Additional Infomation |
INH1 (IBT13131) is a small molecule inhibitor targeting the Hec1/Nek2 mitotic pathway and the migration of metastatic cancer cells[1][2][3]. Its antitumor mechanism includes a dual action: disrupting the Hec1-Nek2 interaction and inhibiting Nek2 kinase activity, thereby inducing mitotic dysfunction (G2/M phase arrest in epithelial cancer cells) or G0/G1 phase arrest in leukemia cells; and inhibiting cell migration/invasion by downregulating MMP-9[1][2][3]. INH1 has broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity against epithelial tumors (cervical cancer, breast cancer) and leukemia cells, and its selectivity for cancer cells is superior to that for normal cells[1][3]. It has potential clinical application value in the treatment of solid tumors (cervical cancer, breast cancer), hematologic malignancies (leukemia) and metastatic cancers.[1][2][3]

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.
