| Targets |
LM-1685 selectively targets the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. It functions as a potent and selective inhibitor, with significantly higher affinity for COX-2 than for COX-1. The compound's mechanism involves inhibiting the COX-2-mediated production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, a key step in the inflammatory pathway. This selective inhibition is central to its application in studying inflammatory diseases and its potential as a therapeutic agent.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
LM-1685 demonstrates potent in vitro activity as a COX-2 inhibitor. In human monocytes, it exhibits an IC50 of 650 nM (0.65 µM), and in human whole blood, it shows an IC50 of 4.3 µM. It displays only very weak activity against COX-1 from human platelets (IC50 >10 µM) and in whole blood (IC50 >100 µM). Furthermore, continuous exposure to LM-1685, in combination with carboxyamido-triazole (CAI), has been shown to reduce the proliferation and survival of seven human cancer cell lines by at least one log (P ≤ 0.001). This supra-additive effect is paralleled by a decrease in COX-2 activity, as measured by prostaglandin E2 production.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for LM-1685 are less extensively detailed in the provided literature, but its potential as an anti-inflammatory and anticancer agent has been investigated. Studies have explored its role as a radiosensitizer, for example, in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The compound's potent and selective inhibition of COX-2 suggests it could modulate inflammatory responses and tumor growth in animal models. However, specific in vivo efficacy data, such as tumor growth inhibition in xenograft models, are not extensively detailed in the available sources.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based enzyme assays for LM-1685 typically involve in vitro kinase or enzyme activity assays using purified COX-2 enzyme. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and its substrate (arachidonic acid) at varying concentrations. COX-2 activity is measured by quantifying the production of prostaglandins using techniques such as ELISA or mass spectrometry. The IC50, the concentration required to inhibit 50% of the enzyme's activity, is determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity over COX-1 is confirmed by parallel assays using the COX-1 enzyme.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for LM-1685 are performed using human monocytes and whole blood to assess its inhibitory effect on COX-2. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a downstream product of COX-2 activity, is measured. The compound's anti-proliferative effects are evaluated in cancer cell lines, where cells are exposed to LM-1685, and cell viability and proliferation are assessed using standard assays such as MTT or CellTiter-Glo.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal models for LM-1685 would be employed to study its efficacy in treating inflammation and cancer. Standard models could include carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats for anti-inflammatory activity or xenograft models in immunodeficient mice for antitumor efficacy. For instance, its radiosensitizing effects have been studied in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. The compound would be administered via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Efficacy endpoints would include measuring inflammatory markers, tumor volume, and survival. Detailed protocols are not extensively reported in the available literature.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of LM-1685 include a molecular weight of 377.84 g/mol and a molecular formula of C18H16ClNO4S. The CAS number is 416901-58-1. The compound is soluble in DMSO (100 mg/mL) and methanol (1 mg/mL). It is a cell-permeable small molecule. Purity is typically ≥97% (HPLC). The solid form is white. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and volume of distribution are not extensively reported in the available literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The compound is noted to have standard handling toxicity (Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)). As a research chemical, its full safety profile would need to be established through comprehensive preclinical toxicity assessments. It is supplied for research use only and is not for human consumption. Given its mechanism of COX-2 inhibition, potential side effects, similar to other COX-2 inhibitors, could include gastrointestinal and cardiovascular effects, though these would need to be confirmed in specific studies.
