CXCR4/CXCL12 ( IC50 ~10 nM )
MSX-122 selectively targets the CXCR4 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that plays a critical role in cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. It acts as a partial antagonist, blocking the CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling pathway. By inhibiting this pathway, MSX-122 reduces tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. It has an IC₅₀ of 10 nM for inhibition of CXCR4/CXCL12 actions. |

| ln Vitro |
MSX-122, which has an IC50 of approximately 10 nM, is a partial antagonist of CXCR4, blocking CXCR4/CXCL12 actions. When the corresponding ligands, CCR3/CCL5 and CCR5/CCL5, mediate the reduction of cAMP, MSX-122 exhibits no inhibition. Invasion of 78% MDA-MB-231 cells is potently blocked by MSX-122 (100 nM). But in the calcium flux assay, MSX-122 is inert and does not inhibit T-tropic HIV infection[1].
In vitro, MSX-122 is a potent inhibitor of CXCR4/CXCL12 actions with an IC₅₀ of 10 nM. It acts as a partial antagonist of the CXCR4 receptor. Its activity can be assessed using cell-based assays measuring CXCR4-mediated signaling, such as calcium mobilization or chemotaxis, in response to CXCL12 stimulation. |
| ln Vivo |
MSX-122 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits inflammation induced by carrageenan and lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. In an animal model of breast cancer metastasis used in experiments, MSX-122 (4 mg/kg, i.p., daily) prevents metastasis. Moreover, the number of hepatic micrometastases is significantly reduced by MSX-122 (10 mg/kg i.p., daily)[1].
In vivo, MSX-122 is orally bioavailable and has been used in trials studying the treatment of solid tumors. Its oral bioavailability and potent activity against CXCR4 make it a suitable candidate for in vivo studies of cancer and other diseases where CXCR4 signaling is implicated. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular receptor binding assays for MSX-122 involve competitive radioligand binding displacement studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the human CXCR4 receptor. Membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled CXCR4 ligand (e.g., [¹²⁵I]-CXCL12) and varying concentrations of MSX-122. Following incubation and filtration, bound radioactivity is measured, and IC₅₀ values are determined from displacement curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
MSX-122 is preincubated at 1, 10, 100, and 1000 nM on MDA-MB-231 cells grown in an 8-well slide chamber for the binding affinity assay. Following an incubation period with 50 nM biotinylated TN14003 and a fixation step using 4% formaldehyde, the cells are then stained with rhodamine.
In vitro cellular assays for MSX-122 involve treating cells expressing CXCR4 with the compound and measuring receptor-mediated signaling and function. For signaling, cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye and stimulated with CXCL12 in the presence of varying concentrations of MSX-122. The inhibition of calcium mobilization is quantified. For function, cell migration or invasion assays are performed using transwell chambers, where cells migrate towards a CXCL12 gradient in the presence of the compound. |
| Animal Protocol |
Mice: Female nude mice aged six to eight weeks are injected via the tail vein with 1.5×1066 MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells mixed with the compound (1 µM, less than 5 min preincubation) (10/group). The mice in the treated group are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 4 mg/kg MSX-122ms (salt form) every day starting the next day. Thirty-five days after the tumor cell injection, the animals are killed. Complete lung tissues are taken and sectioned for H&E histochemistry and real-time RT-PCR for human CXCR4 in order to assess the metastatic tumor area in five fields per section under a microscope. The results are confirmed by repeating these experiments. For the head and neck cancer animal model, metastatic subclones of 686LN-Ms cells are injected in the same way as MDA-MB-231 cells. [18F]FDG-PET is performed. In the mouse model for uveal melanoma micrometastasis, 1×106 wild-type OMM2.3 cells expressing HGF/TGF-β/CXCR4/MMP2 are injected into the posterior chamber of the right eye of each mouse on day 0. On day three, mice are given 10 mg/kg MSX-122 intraperitoneally (i.p.) in 0.1 mL of 45% CD volume per day, while the control group receives 0.1 mL of 45% CD injections only. Day 7: Tumor-bearing eyes are removed. Histological techniques are used to monitor tumor growth. The number of hepatic micrometastases is counted under a microscope on day 28, after hepatic tissues have been extracted, preserved in 10% formalin, processed, and stained with H&E. The average number of micrometastases per section is calculated by microscopically examining six sections through the liver's center for the presence of micrometastases (<100 µm diameter). For each group, ten mice are used. A table summarizing animal experiments for three metastasis models can be found in the Data S3[1].
In vivo animal experiments with MSX-122 are conducted in mouse xenograft models of solid tumors. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with MSX-122 via oral administration. Tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis are assessed. The compound's ability to inhibit tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis is evaluated. |

| Additional Infomation |
MSX-122 is currently being used in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors. The CXCR4 inhibitor Q-122 is an orally bioavailable CXCR4 inhibitor with potential antitumor and antiviral activity. The CXCR4 inhibitor MSX-122 binds to the chemokine receptor CXCR4, preventing stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) from binding to and activating the receptor, which may lead to reduced tumor cell proliferation and migration. CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor belonging to the GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) gene family, playing an important role in chemotaxis and angiogenesis, and is upregulated in various tumor cell types; it is also a co-receptor for HIV entry into T cells.
MSX-122 (CAS 897657-95-3) is a novel, small-molecule, orally bioavailable partial antagonist of CXCR4. It has an IC₅₀ of 10 nM for inhibition of CXCR4/CXCL12 actions and has been used in trials for the treatment of solid tumors. MSX-122 is available from various commercial suppliers for research applications. |
