Product Description

IQ-1 (IQ1) is a cell-permeable tetrahydroisoquinolinylidene small molecule compound that modulates Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. IQ-1 was identified from a high-throughput cell-based assay and has many functions such as decreasing Wnt-stimulated phosphorylation, maintaining the pluripotency of murine ESCs, preventing PP2A/Nkd interaction and so on. IQ-1 binds to serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A and prevents PP2A/Nkd interaction. IQ-1 allows for the Wnt/beta-catenin-driven long-term expansion of mouse ESCs and prevents spontaneous differentiation. IQ-1, by targeting the PR72/130 subunit of the serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A, prevents beta-catenin from switching coactivator usage from CBP to p300. The increase in beta-catenin/CBP-mediated transcription at the expense of beta-catenin/p300-mediated transcription is critical for the maintenance of murine stem cell pluripotency.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
For seven days, IQ-1 (1.10, 3.48, 11.04 mM) keeps ESCs in their undifferentiated state[1]. Independent of LIF, IQ-1 (0.28, 1.10, 2.76, 11.04 mM; 21 h) sustains the self-renewal of murine ESCs[1]. In P19 cells, IQ-1 Binds the Serine/Threonine Phosphatase PP2A PR72/130 Subunit[1]. In P19 cells, IQ-1 (10 µM; 24 h) modifies Wnt signaling by interaction with PR72/130[1]. IQ-1 (10 µM; 24 h) reduces p300 Ser-89 phosphorylation indirectly, which in turn reduces the β-Catenin/p300 interaction[1].
ln Vivo
IQ1 decreases the size of the lung and dramatically decreased the number of branching tips. Despite the branching inhibition at the distal tips, IQ1 causes an elongation of the proximal airway compared to the control lung at E14.5. This elongation of the proximal airways suggests that the impact of IQ1 is not due simply to growth inhibition. IQ1 also inhibits branching with 3 day treatment initiating at E9.9; IQ1 causes airway dilation and decreased the density of mesenchymal cells. IQ1 also affects cardiac and vascular system development. IQ1 decreases the expression of distal genes and increased the expression of proximal genes in the lung explants consistent with the hypothesis that inhibition of the β-catenin/p300 interaction proximalizes lung epithelium

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:72 mg/mL (198.66 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:7 mg/mL (19.31 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (4.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg

10 mM 0.2759 mL 1.3796 mL 2.7592 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. 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.
