| Targets |
MeBIO targets multiple proteins and pathways. It acts as a potent agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor involved in xenobiotic metabolism and immune regulation. It also inhibits GSK-3 and CDK1/cyclin B. Interestingly, it is inactive on GSK-3β, a closely related isoform. Its multi-targeting profile makes it a valuable tool for studying the interplay between these signaling pathways.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, MeBIO demonstrates potent AhR agonist activity. It also shows inhibitory activity against GSK-3 (IC50 = 44 μM) and CDK1/cyclin B (IC50 = 55 μM). Its activity is characterized by its ability to activate AhR-mediated transcription and to modulate GSK-3 and CDK1 activity. This makes it a useful tool for studying the crosstalk between these pathways.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, MeBIO is used in research to study the effects of AhR activation and GSK-3/CDK1 inhibition. While specific in vivo efficacy data are not detailed in the provided sources, its mechanism of modulating multiple signaling pathways makes it a valuable tool for studying various diseases, including cancer and inflammation. Its in vivo effects would depend on the specific model being studied.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies for MeBIO are not typical, as it acts as a receptor agonist and enzyme inhibitor. Its AhR agonist activity is assessed using reporter assays, where cells are transfected with an AhR-responsive reporter and treated with the compound to measure reporter gene activation. Its inhibition of GSK-3 and CDK1/cyclin B is measured using kinase activity assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for MeBIO are used to study its effects on cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and key readouts include the activation of AhR target genes (measured by qRT-PCR), the inhibition of GSK-3 and CDK1 activity (measured by Western blotting for phosphorylated substrates), and the effects on cell cycle progression and viability. These assays confirm its mechanism of action.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for MeBIO are not extensively documented in the provided sources. As a tool for studying AhR and GSK-3/CDK1 biology, it would be used in animal models of diseases where these pathways are implicated. Such studies would involve administering the compound and measuring relevant endpoints, such as tumor growth, inflammation, or metabolic changes.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of MeBIO are indicated by its molecular weight of 370.20 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₇H₁₂BrN₃O₂. It is a dark red solid. Its solubility and other PK parameters are not detailed in the provided sources. For storage, it is typically kept at -20°C to maintain stability. These properties are important for its use in laboratory studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for MeBIO are limited, as it is a research compound. Its primary value is as a tool for studying signaling pathways. While specific toxicity profiles are not detailed, its mechanism of modulating multiple pathways could have significant effects. Comprehensive safety studies are not available in the public domain.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
