| Targets |
The primary target of JG-231 is heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). Hsp70 is a molecular chaperone involved in protein folding, protein quality control, and the cellular stress response. JG-231 acts as an allosteric inhibitor of Hsp70, disrupting the interaction between Hsp70 and BAG family proteins (including BAG1 and BAG3). By inhibiting the Hsp70-BAG interaction, JG-231 affects Hsp70-associated signaling pathways and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, JG-231 inhibits the binding of Hsp70 and BAG family proteins, including Hsp70-BAG1 with a Ki of 0.11 μM. JG-231 (0.31-5 μM; 4-10 days) inhibits tumor spheroid growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner in TT and MZ-CRC-1 cells in 3D culture. JG-231 (0-10 μM; 12-24 hours) disrupts the Hsp70-BAG3 interaction in MCF-7 cells, affects Hsp70-associated signaling pathways, and induces apoptosis. JG-231 reduces the levels of Akt, c-Raf, CDK4, IAP-1, and HuR, but does not change the levels of Hsp72 and Hsp90.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, JG-231 (4 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; three times a week; 4 weeks) has antitumor activity in a breast cancer xenograft mouse model. JG-231 inhibits tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 heterograft tumor models of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Treatment with JG-231 did not significantly change the weight of mice.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For Hsp70 inhibitors, standard cell-free assays include measuring the binding of Hsp70 to BAG family proteins using fluorescence polarization, AlphaScreen, or ELISA. The compound is incubated with recombinant Hsp70 and BAG proteins, and the inhibition of interaction is measured to determine Ki values. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be used to measure binding affinity.
|
| Cell Assay |
For Hsp70 inhibitors, standard cellular assays involve treatment of cancer cell lines with the test compound for 24-72 hours. Hsp70-BAG interaction is assessed by co-immunoprecipitation or proximity ligation assays. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V/PI staining, caspase activity assays, and DNA fragmentation. Cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Western blot analysis is used to assess signaling pathway modulation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo evaluation of Hsp70 inhibitors, standard animal models include tumor xenograft models using cancer cell lines sensitive to Hsp70 inhibition. JG-231 was evaluated in four-week-old female athymic mice bearing xenografted MDA-MB-231 cells. The compound was administered intraperitoneally at 4 mg/kg, three days a week for 4 weeks. Tumor growth and mouse body weight were monitored.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In mice, JG-231 (5 mg/kg; i.p.) has a Cmax of 159 nM, Tmax of 2 h, t1/2 of 21.6 h, and AUC(0→5×∞) of 3401 nM·h. The compound has a molecular weight of 619.47 and formula C21H18BrCl2N3OS4. It is soluble in DMSO at 2 mg/mL. Storage conditions: 4°C, sealed storage, away from moisture and light; in solvent: -80°C for 6 months, -20°C for 1 month.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicology data is publicly available for JG-231. As a research compound targeting Hsp70, standard preclinical toxicology would be required for therapeutic development. JG-231 did not significantly change the weight of mice in the xenograft model, suggesting a tolerable safety profile at the tested dose. The compound is for research use only and not for therapeutic applications.
