| Targets |
MYCMI-6 targets the MYC:MAX protein interaction. MYC is a transcription factor that is frequently dysregulated in various cancers, driving tumor cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. MYC forms heterodimers with MAX to bind to DNA and activate transcription of target genes. By binding selectively to the MYC bHLHZip domain with a Kd of 1.6 μM, MYCMI-6 disrupts the MYC:MAX interaction, blocking MYC-driven transcription. This inhibition suppresses tumor cell growth and induces cell death in MYC-driven cancers.

| ln Vitro |
MYCMI-6 (NSC354961) (6.25 μM; 48 hours) suppresses the development of tumor cells driven by MYC in an effective and precise manner [1]. Burkitt-located cells (Mutu, Daudi, and ST486) are another well-known example of MYC-driven malignancies. MYC easily localizes to one of the immunoglobulin sites in a dose-dependent manner, with an average GI50 of 0.5 μM. MYCMI-6 greatly slows the growth of these cells. Following a 24-hour treatment with MYCMI-6 for MCF7 cells, titration revealed a considerable reduction in the MYC:MAX isPLA signal, indicating that the IC50 of PLA inhibition of MYC:MAX versus MYCMI-6 was less than 1.5 μM. MYCMI-6 has an IC50 of 3.8 μM, which inhibits the production of MYC:MAX heterodimers. With an IC50, MYCMI-6 potently inhibits MYCN in neuroblasts. 7 percent. Tumor cell proliferation that is anchorage-independent has a GI50 value of less than 0.4 μM [1].
MYCMI-6 exhibits potent in vitro activity as a MYC:MAX interaction inhibitor. It selectively binds to the MYC bHLHZip domain with a Kd of 1.6 μM. The compound inhibits tumor cell growth in a MYC-dependent manner with IC50 concentrations as low as 0.5 μM. MYCMI-6 induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Importantly, the compound is not cytotoxic to normal human cells, indicating selectivity for cancer cells. These in vitro activities confirm its potential as an anticancer agent targeting the MYC oncogene. |
| ln Vivo |
In a MYC-requiring xenograft tumor model, MYCMI-6 (20 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily for 1-2 weeks) decreases tumor cell swelling, tumor microvessel density, and MYC:MAX interactions while inducing severe cellular ischemia.
In vivo activity of MYCMI-6 has been evaluated in animal models of MYC-driven cancers. The compound works by specifically targeting and disrupting the MYC protein's function, potentially suppressing tumor growth and inducing cell death. In vivo studies have demonstrated that MYCMI-6 inhibits tumor growth in MYC-dependent models. The compound's selectivity for MYC over MAX and its lack of cytotoxicity to normal cells suggest a favorable therapeutic window. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties in vivo. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro binding assays for MYCMI-6 involve measuring its affinity for the MYC bHLHZip domain. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization assays are typically used to determine the dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.6 μM. In these assays, recombinant MYC protein or the MYC bHLHZip domain is immobilized, and the compound is flowed over the surface to measure binding kinetics. Competitive binding assays with fluorescently labeled MYC peptides can also be used to confirm target engagement and calculate the IC50 for disruption of the MYC:MAX interaction.

| Cell Assay |
Cell viability assay[1]
Cell Types: MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells (IMR-32, Kelly and SK-N-DZ), MYCN-non-amplified neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-F1, SK -N-AS and SK-N-RA) Tested Concentrations: 6.25 μM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: The growth reduction of MYCN-amplified cell lines was Dramatically stronger than that of MYCN-amplified non-amplified cell lines. In vitro cellular assays for MYCMI-6 are conducted in cancer cell lines with MYC dysregulation, such as Burkitt's lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and other MYC-driven cancers. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound, and cell proliferation is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. MYC-driven transcription is assessed by measuring the expression of MYC target genes (e.g., cyclin D2, ornithine decarboxylase) by qPCR. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V staining or caspase activity assays. Cytotoxicity is assessed in normal human cells to confirm selectivity. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: 6-8 weeks old athymic nude mice (SK-N-DZ neuroblastoma cells carrying MYCN amplification) [1]
Doses: 20mg/kg body weight Route of Administration: Ip; effect [1]. one time/day for 1-2 weeks Experimental Results: There was a significant increase in the expansion of apoptotic areas and a significant increase in non-proliferative areas in the tumors as determined by Ki67 staining in the tumors. In vivo animal experiments with MYCMI-6 are conducted in mouse xenograft models of MYC-driven cancers. Immunodeficient mice are engrafted with cancer cell lines harboring MYC dysregulation. MYCMI-6 is administered via intraperitoneal injection or oral gavage at varying doses. Tumor growth is measured over time, and tumor tissues are harvested for analysis of MYC target gene expression, apoptosis markers, and MYC protein levels. Pharmacodynamic studies are performed to confirm target engagement and inhibition of MYC-driven transcription. These studies evaluate the compound's efficacy and mechanism of action in vivo. |
