Product Description

MKC3946(also known as MKC-3946) is a soluble and strong IRE1α RNase inhibitor with possible anticancer properties. The ability of cancer cells to withstand stress caused by the build-up of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is dependent on the unfolded protein response (UPR). A major UPR branch, the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway, is triggered in a large number of cancers. The IRE1α RNase inhibitor [MKC-3946, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (HNA)] demonstrated cytotoxicity towards AML cells and prevented the splicing of XBP1 mRNA. At least in part, the inhibition of IRE1α resulted in caspase-dependent apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest through the control of chaperone proteins, G1 phase controlling proteins (p21cip1, p27kip1, and cyclin D1), and Bcl-2 family proteins. The IRE1α inhibitors did not inhibit the growth of murine bone marrow cells with Xbp1 deletion. AML cytotoxicity linked to p-JNK induction and p-PI3K and p-MAPK reduction was observed when HNA was combined with either bortezomib or AS2O3. AML cells expressed more miRs, including miR-34a, when IRE1α RNase activity was inhibited. The cell became resistant to HNA when miR-34a was inhibited. Our findings clearly indicate that one promising therapeutic strategy for treating AML is to target pro-survival pathways driven by IRE1α.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IRE1α endoribonuclease
ln Vitro
MKC-3946 causes mild growth inhibition in MM cell lines while having no harmful effects on healthy mononuclear cells. Crucially, it amplifies the cytotoxicity caused by 17-AAG or bortezomib considerably, even when external IL-6 or bone marrow stromal cells are present. XBP1s is induced by both 17-AAG and bortezomib, indicating ER stress, which is inhibited by MKC-3946. MKC-3946 increases the apoptosis brought on by these agents and is linked to an increase in CHOP. Treatment with MKC-3946 does not impede the function of IRE1α kinase or the binding of activated IRE1α to TRAF2 and subsequent JNK signaling[1].
ln Vivo
MKC-3946 significantly inhibits the growth of MM cells in a model of in vivo ER stress by inhibiting XBP1 splicing[1].
Cell Assay
For three hours, RPMI 8226 cells are either treated with or without Tm (5 μg/mL) in addition to MKC-3946 (0-10μM). After extracting total RNA, XBP1 and β-actin mRNA are assessed via RT-PCR.
Animal Protocol
CB17 SCID mice (48-54 days old) are treated for 21 days beginning on day 1 after receiving a subcutaneous injection of 1×107 RPMI 8226 cells mixed with Matrigel on day 0. Four groups (n=8) of mice are allocated to receive daily intraperitoneal injections of 100 mg/kg MKC-3946; twice-weekly intravenous injections of 0.15 mg/kg bortezomib; a combination of intraperitoneal injections of MKC-3946 and intravenous injections of bortezomib; and intraperitoneal injections of 10% HPBCD with normal saline as a vehicle control. Mice are euthanized when tumors grow to a length of 1.5 cm. Tumor volume is estimated from caliper measurements every 3–4 days. From the moment of treatment initiation until death, survival is assessed.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ≥30 mg/mL
Water: N/A
Ethanol: N/A
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

1 mM 2.6284 mL 13.1420 mL 26.2840 mL
5 mM 0.5257 mL 2.6284 mL 5.2568 mL
10 mM 0.2628 mL 1.3142 mL 2.6284 mL

*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.
