Product Description
SEC inhibitor KL-2 (KL-2) is a peptidomimetic lead compound and a potent and specific SEC inhibitor that causes Pol II to detach from the promoter-proximal region by disrupting the interaction between the SEC scaffolding proteins AFF4 and P-TEFb. Release from pause sites is impaired and the average rate of progressive transcription elongation is reduced. SEC inhibitor KL-2 concentration-dependently inhibits the AFF4-CCNT1 interaction with Ki of 1.50 μM.
KL-2 (CAS#: 900308-51-2) is a potent and specific inhibitor of the super elongation complex (SEC) that disrupts the interaction between the SEC scaffolding protein AFF4 and P-TEFb. It is a peptidomimetic lead compound that causes Pol II to detach from the promoter-proximal region. SEC inhibitor KL-2 disrupts the cyclin T1-AFF4 interaction within SEC, attenuating SEC-dependent rapid transcriptional responses, and inhibiting MYC transcriptional programs. It has a molecular weight of 333.74 and formula C17H13ClFNO3. The compound is soluble in DMSO and has a purity of 98% by HPLC.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of KL-2 is the super elongation complex (SEC), a critical regulator of transcriptional elongation and gene expression. SEC is a multi-subunit complex that includes the scaffolding protein AFF4 and the kinase P-TEFb (which includes cyclin T1). KL-2 is a potent and specific SEC inhibitor that disrupts the interaction between the SEC scaffolding protein AFF4 and P-TEFb. Specifically, it disrupts the cyclin T1-AFF4 interaction within SEC. By disrupting this interaction, KL-2 impairs the release of Pol II from promoter-proximal pause sites and reduces the average rate of processive transcription elongation.
ln Vitro
KL-2 is a potent and specific SEC inhibitor that disrupts the interaction between the SEC scaffolding protein AFF4 and P-TEFb. It specifically disrupts the cyclin T1-AFF4 interaction within SEC. This disruption causes Pol II to detach from the promoter-proximal region and impairs the release of Pol II from promoter-proximal pause sites. The compound attenuates SEC-dependent rapid transcriptional responses and inhibits MYC transcriptional programs. By inhibiting SEC and MYC transcriptional programs, KL-2 can suppress the transcription of oncogenes and other genes essential for tumor cell survival.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity data is publicly available for KL-2. As an SEC inhibitor, it would be expected to have anti-tumor activity in vivo. The compound's ability to inhibit MYC transcriptional programs suggests potential efficacy in MYC-driven cancers. By suppressing transcription of oncogenes, KL-2 could inhibit tumor growth and progression. However, specific in vivo studies have not been detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
No specific non-cell assay protocol is available for KL-2. For SEC inhibitors, standard cell-free assays include measuring the interaction between AFF4 and P-TEFb (including cyclin T1) using techniques such as fluorescence polarization, AlphaScreen, or ELISA. The compound is incubated with the proteins, and the inhibition of interaction is measured to determine potency. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be used to measure binding affinity and kinetics. These assays provide mechanistic insights into how the compound disrupts the SEC.
Cell Assay
No specific cell-based assay protocol is available for KL-2. For SEC inhibitors, standard cellular assays involve treatment of cells with the compound and measurement of transcriptional elongation. Pol II promoter-proximal pausing and release can be assessed by ChIP-seq or ChIP-qPCR using antibodies against Pol II. Transcription of SEC-dependent genes (e.g., MYC, other oncogenes) can be measured by qPCR. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V/PI staining or caspase activity assays. Cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
Animal Protocol
No specific animal protocol is available for KL-2. For anti-tumor studies, standard in vivo models include xenograft models using cancer cell lines sensitive to SEC inhibition, particularly MYC-driven cancers. KL-2 is administered (route and dose to be determined) for 2-4 weeks. Tumor growth, apoptosis markers, and survival are assessed. The compound's effects on transcription of oncogenes and other SEC-dependent genes can be evaluated in tumor tissues. However, specific protocols have not been detailed in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for KL-2. The compound has a molecular weight of 333.74 and formula C17H13ClFNO3. The IUPAC/Chemical Name is N-(5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanamide. It is soluble in DMSO. As a small molecule with moderate lipophilicity, it would be expected to have reasonable cell permeability. Comprehensive pharmacokinetic studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicology data is publicly available for KL-2. As a research compound, standard preclinical toxicology would be required for therapeutic development. The compound's mechanism of action as a transcriptional inhibitor suggests potential for effects on normal cells that depend on SEC-dependent transcription. The compound is for research use only and not for therapeutic applications.
