| Targets |
- The target of the novel malic enzyme inhibitor (based on piperazine-1-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione scaffold) is Malic Enzyme 1 (ME1). Among the synthesized compounds, compound 3 exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 4.2 ± 0.3 μM against recombinant human ME1 [1]

| ln Vitro |
The total number of cells was significantly reduced when ME1 (ME1; ME1) (50 μM; 72 hours) was used as a malic enzyme inhibitor [2]. The renal activity and cell survival of MTS cells are markedly decreased by the malic enzyme inhibitor ME1 [2]. The ME1 malic enzyme inhibitor can
- ME1 Inhibitory Activity: The novel malic enzyme inhibitor (piperazine-1-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivative) showed concentration-dependent inhibitory activity against recombinant human ME1. For compound 3 (representative inhibitor): - At concentrations of 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 4.2 μM (IC50), and 10 μM, the enzyme activity inhibition rates were 12.5 ± 1.2%, 48.3 ± 2.5%, 50.1 ± 2.1%, and 90.3 ± 2.1%, respectively. - It had no significant inhibitory effect on other related dehydrogenases (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase), with inhibition rates < 10% at 10 μM, confirming selectivity for ME1 [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
1. Reaction System Preparation: A 200 μL reaction mixture contained 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.2 mM NADP⁺, 1 mM L-malate (substrate), malic enzyme inhibitor at different concentrations (0.1–10 μM, dissolved in DMSO, final DMSO concentration < 1%), and 0.1 μg recombinant human ME1.
2. Reaction Initiation and Incubation: The reaction was initiated by adding L-malate, followed by incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes. 3. Detection and Calculation: The change in absorbance at 340 nm was measured to monitor NADPH production (an indicator of ME1 activity). The inhibition rate was calculated using the formula: Inhibition rate = (1 - ΔA treated / ΔA control) × 100% (ΔA = absorbance change over incubation time). The IC50 value was obtained by fitting the inhibition rate vs logarithm of inhibitor concentration to a dose-response curve [1] |

Inhibitor design and synthesis:
Computer molecular docking (based on ME1 crystal structure) was used to design malicase inhibitors to mimic the structural features of L-malic acid (ME1 substrate) so that it can bind to the ME1 active site. Using piperazine-1-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione as the core skeleton, it was synthesized through a multi-step organic reaction. The total yield of the representative compound 3 was 35-42% [1] -Biological function of ME1: ME1 is highly expressed in intestinal tumors in ApcMin/+ mice. ME1 knockout reduced the number of tumors (from 28.5 ± 3.2 per mouse to 12.3 ± 2.1) and tumor volume, indicating that ME1 has a pro-cancer effect. This provides a theoretical basis for developing malicase inhibitors as potential anti-cancer drugs [2] |

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 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.

*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.
