Product Description
Butyrolactone 3 (MB-3) is a specific small molecule inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase Gcn5 (IC50=100 μM), with high affinity to Gcn5 enzyme. Butyrolactone 3 has a weak inhibitory activity against CBP (IC50=0.5 mM). Butyrolactone 3 may be utilized in the research into cancer, metabolic diseases, autoimmune diseases, and neurological diseases.
MB-3 (CAS#: 778649-18-6) is a small molecule inhibitor of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity of the MOZ (monocytic leukemia zinc finger protein) and KAT6A enzymes. It has been studied for its potential in cancer research, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other malignancies where MOZ and KAT6A are overexpressed or mutated. MB-3 inhibits the acetylation of histone H3, modulating gene expression and affecting cell proliferation and differentiation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MB-3 primarily targets the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) domain of MOZ (KAT6A) and KAT6B. By inhibiting these enzymes, it reduces the acetylation of histone H3 at lysine residues (H3K9, H3K14), which are important for transcriptional activation. This leads to changes in gene expression, including the downregulation of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The compound has shown selectivity for MOZ/KAT6A over other HATs.
ln Vitro
In vitro, MB-3 inhibits MOZ HAT activity in cell-free assays with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. It reduces histone H3 acetylation in cancer cell lines, leading to growth inhibition and induction of differentiation. MB-3 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of AML cell lines and primary AML cells, with IC50 values typically ranging from 5-50 μM depending on the cell line. The compound also induces apoptosis in some cancer cell lines.
ln Vivo
In vivo, MB-3 has been studied in mouse models of AML and other cancers. It has shown efficacy in reducing tumor growth and extending survival in xenograft models. The compound's effects are attributed to its inhibition of MOZ/KAT6A HAT activity and the resulting changes in gene expression. Specific dosing regimens and efficacy outcomes are detailed in the scientific literature.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro activity of MB-3 is assessed using cell-free HAT activity assays. Recombinant MOZ or KAT6A is incubated with histone H3 or a peptide substrate and acetyl-CoA in the presence of varying concentrations of MB-3. The incorporation of acetyl groups into the substrate is measured using radioactive or fluorescence-based detection methods. The IC50 is determined from dose-response curves. For cellular assays, cells are treated with MB-3, and histone acetylation is assessed by Western blotting using acetylation-specific antibodies.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, AML cell lines (e.g., MOLM-13, MV4-11) or other cancer cell lines are cultured in appropriate media and treated with various concentrations of MB-3 (typically 0.1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Cell differentiation is assessed by measuring cell surface markers (e.g., CD11b, CD14) by flow cytometry. Histone acetylation is analyzed by Western blotting. Gene expression is analyzed by qPCR or RNA-seq.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, MB-3 is typically administered intraperitoneally or orally to mice bearing tumor xenografts. Doses typically range from 10-100 mg/kg administered daily or every other day. Tumor growth is monitored by measuring tumor volume. At the end of the study, tumors are excised and analyzed for histone acetylation, cell proliferation (Ki-67 staining), and apoptosis (TUNEL staining). Pharmacokinetic studies involve measurement of MB-3 levels in plasma and tissues by LC-MS/MS.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MB-3 has a specific molecular weight and formula, though detailed physicochemical properties are not provided in the search results. The compound is soluble in DMSO and should be stored at -20°C under appropriate conditions to maintain stability. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as bioavailability, half-life, and tissue distribution are not detailed in the provided search results.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for MB-3 is not available in the provided search results. As a HAT inhibitor, it may affect normal cellular processes that depend on histone acetylation, including gene expression, cell proliferation, and differentiation. The compound has been studied in animal models and appears to be well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Comprehensive toxicological studies are required to establish its full safety profile.
