Product Description
KEA1-97 is a selective Thioredoxin-caspase 3 interaction interferer (IC50=10 μM). KEA1-97 disrupts the interaction between thioredoxin and caspase 3, activates caspases, and induces cell apoptosis without affecting thioredoxin activity.
KEA1-97 (CAS#: 2138882-71-8) is a selective thioredoxin-caspase 3 interaction disruptor with an IC50 of 10 μM. It is a dichlorotriazine (DCT)-based covalent ligand that selectively disrupts the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between thioredoxin (Trx) and caspase-3. KEA1-97 disrupts the interaction between thioredoxin and caspase 3, activates caspases, and induces cell apoptosis without affecting thioredoxin activity. The compound has a molecular weight of 335.16, formula C15H9Cl2FN4, and is soluble in DMSO at 90 mg/mL. It should be stored at 4°C and protected from light. KEA1-97 is also known as KEA197.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Caspase 3 (IC50 = 10 μM); Thioredoxin (IC50 = 10 μM)
The primary target is the protein-protein interaction between thioredoxin (Trx) and caspase-3. KEA1-97 selectively disrupts this interaction without affecting thioredoxin activity. Thioredoxin is a redox-active protein that plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and also inhibits caspase-3 activity, thereby suppressing apoptosis. By disrupting the Trx-caspase-3 interaction, KEA1-97 relieves the inhibitory effect of thioredoxin on caspase-3, promoting programmed cell death. The compound's selectivity for this specific protein-protein interaction makes it a valuable tool for studying apoptosis regulation.
ln Vitro
KEA1-97 (100 μM; 231MFP cells) impaires thioredoxin pulldown of caspase 3[1].
KEA1-97 (10 μM; 48 hours; 231MFP cells) inhibits the proliferation of 231MFP serum-free cells[1].
KEA1-97 (10 μM; 0~12 hours; 231MFP cells) activates caspase 3/7 and induces apoptotic cell death[1].
KEA1-97 (231MFP cells) is resistant to impairments in survival and proliferation[1].
KEA1-97 disrupts the interaction of thioredoxin with caspase 3 with an IC50 of 10 μM. This disruption activates caspases and induces apoptosis in cells. Importantly, the compound achieves this without affecting thioredoxin activity, suggesting that it specifically interferes with the protein-protein interaction rather than inhibiting the enzyme's function. The activation of caspases leads to the characteristic biochemical and morphological changes associated with apoptosis, including DNA fragmentation, cell shrinkage, and membrane blebbing.
ln Vivo
KEA1-97 (5 mg/kg; i.p.; 50 days) attenuates tumor xenograft growth[1].
KEA1-97 induces apoptosis in vivo through caspase activation. By disrupting the Trx-caspase-3 interaction, it relieves the inhibitory effect of thioredoxin on caspase-3, promoting programmed cell death. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis in vivo makes it a potential therapeutic agent for conditions where enhanced apoptosis is beneficial, such as cancer. The preservation of thioredoxin activity during this process suggests that the compound's effects are specific to the protein-protein interaction and do not broadly disrupt cellular redox balance.
Enzyme Assay
No specific non-cell assay protocol is available for KEA1-97. For protein-protein interaction disruptors, standard cell-free assays include fluorescence polarization, AlphaScreen, or ELISA using recombinant thioredoxin and caspase-3 proteins. The compound is incubated with the proteins, and the inhibition of interaction is measured to determine IC50 values. These assays can provide mechanistic insights into how the compound interferes with the Trx-caspase-3 interaction. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) could also be used to measure binding affinity and kinetics.
Cell Assay
No specific cell-based assay protocol is available for KEA1-97. For apoptosis induction studies, standard assays involve treatment of cancer cell lines with KEA1-97 for 24-48 hours. Following treatment, caspase activity is measured using fluorogenic substrates. Apoptosis is confirmed by Annexin V/PI staining for flow cytometry and western blot analysis of cleaved PARP and caspases. Cell viability assays (MTT or CellTiter-Glo) can also be performed to assess the compound's cytotoxic effects. Importantly, thioredoxin activity assays can confirm that the compound does not affect thioredoxin enzymatic function.
Animal Protocol
No specific animal protocol is available for KEA1-97. For apoptosis-inducing compounds, standard in vivo studies use tumor xenograft models in mice. The compound is administered (route not specified) for 2-3 weeks. Tumor growth inhibition is monitored, and apoptosis markers in tumor tissues are assessed by immunohistochemistry or western blot. Pharmacodynamic studies may also be performed to confirm target engagement and pathway modulation in vivo. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis without affecting thioredoxin activity suggests a favorable safety profile in vivo.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for KEA1-97. KEA1-97 has a molecular weight of 335.16, formula C15H9Cl2FN4, and is soluble in DMSO at 90 mg/mL. It should be stored at 4°C and protected from light. Powder can be stored at 2-8°C for 2 years; in solvent at -20°C for 1 month or -80°C for 6 months. As a covalent ligand, KEA1-97 may have unique pharmacokinetic properties related to its mechanism of action, including potential for prolonged target engagement. Comprehensive pharmacokinetic studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicology data is publicly available for KEA1-97. As a covalent ligand, KEA1-97 may have off-target reactivity and requires careful toxicological evaluation. Standard preclinical safety studies would be needed for therapeutic development, including genotoxicity assessment, hERG cardiac safety evaluation, and repeated-dose toxicity studies. The compound's selectivity for the Trx-caspase-3 interaction may contribute to a manageable safety profile, but potential effects on other protein-protein interactions or covalent modification of off-target proteins would need to be assessed. The compound is for research use only.
