Product Description
NCT-505 (NCT 505; NCT505) is a novel and potent aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. Overexpression of certain ALDHs (e.g., ALDH1A1) is an important biomarker in cancers and cancer stem cells (CSCs). NCT-505 inhibited the formation of 3D spheroid cultures of OV-90 cancer cells, and potentiated the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel in SKOV-3-TR, a paclitaxel resistant ovarian cancer cell line.
NCT-505 (CAS#: 2231079-74-4) is a potent and highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1). It inhibits ALDH1A1 with an IC₅₀ of 7 nM, and weakly inhibits hALDH1A2 (>57 μM), hALDH1A3 (22.8 μM), hALDH2 (20.1 μM), and hALDH3A1 (>57 μM). NCT-505 has potential anticancer activity. ALDH1A1 is an important biomarker in cancers and cancer stem cells (CSCs).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

For cell-based assays, cancer cell lines with high ALDH1A1 expression are cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with NCT-505 at various concentrations (0.001-10 μM) for 24-72 hours. ALDH activity is measured using Aldefluor assay by flow cytometry. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. Cancer stem cell marker expression is analyzed by flow cytometry or Western blotting. Chemosensitivity assays may be performed with chemotherapeutic agents. All treatments include vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.
Targets

IC50: 7 nM (ALDH1A1), >57 μM (hALDH1A2), 22.8 μM (hALDH1A3), 20.1 μM (hALDH2), >57 μM (hALDH3A1)
NCT-505 targets aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1), an enzyme involved in the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. ALDH1A1 is overexpressed in various cancers and is a marker of cancer stem cells. By inhibiting ALDH1A1, NCT-505 may sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy and reduce the cancer stem cell population. The compound shows excellent selectivity for ALDH1A1 over other ALDH isoforms.

ln Vitro
Compound 86, also known as NCT-505, exhibits robust and selective activity against aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1A1), with an IC50 of 7 nM. It also exhibits modest inhibition against hALDH1A2, hALDH1A3, hALDH2, and hALDH3A1 (IC50s, >57, 22.8, 20.1, >57 μM). NCT-505 does not appear to have any discernible inhibitory effects on type-4 hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17β4) and 5-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) (IC50, >57 μM). Furthermore, NCT-505 exhibits strong cellular activities that lower OV-90 cell viability at an EC50 of 2.10-3.92 μM. Moreover, NCT-505 is cytotoxic to SKOV-3-TR cells, as demonstrated by IC50 values in the titration assay of 1, 3, 10, 20, and 30 μM, respectively[1].
In vitro, NCT-505 potently inhibits ALDH1A1 with an IC₅₀ of 7 nM. It shows weak inhibition of hALDH1A2 (>57 μM), hALDH1A3 (22.8 μM), hALDH2 (20.1 μM), and hALDH3A1 (>57 μM), indicating high selectivity. The compound has potential anticancer activity. ALDH1A1 inhibition may affect cancer cell proliferation, survival, and chemoresistance. Detailed in vitro data are available in the primary literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for NCT-505 are limited in publicly available sources. Based on its potent and selective ALDH1A1 inhibition, the compound is expected to be useful for in vivo studies of ALDH1A1 function in cancer and cancer stem cells. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic profile. The compound is a research tool for cancer biology.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for NCT-505 typically use recombinant ALDH1A1 enzyme and aldehyde substrate (e.g., propionaldehyde or acetaldehyde) with NAD⁺ as cofactor. The compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer (50 mM sodium pyrophosphate, pH 8.0, 1 mM NAD⁺). Reactions are initiated by adding substrate and incubated at 37°C for 5-15 minutes. NADH production is monitored spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. Selectivity is assessed against ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3, ALDH2, and ALDH3A1 using similar assays. Controls include DMSO vehicle and known ALDH inhibitors.
Cell Assay
Cells are harvested, and an equal volume of first compound (NCT-505 or paclitaxel (Taxol)) at the indicated concentration or vehicle DMSO (final DMSO concentration is the same in all conditions) is added to the cell suspension before dispensing. Cells are dispensed into 384-well, white, TC-treated plates at a density of 3000 cells/well in a volume of 30 μL of growth media/well using a Multidrop Combi dispenser. Immediately after dispensing, the second compound (ALDH1A1 inhibitor or paclitaxel) and control solutions (92 nL) are transferred using a pintool. Plates are covered with a breathable seal and incubated for 4 days at 37°C, 5% CO2, 85% RH followed by addition of 20 μL of CellTiter-Glo. After a ∼30 min incubation at rt, samples are analyzed for luminescence intensity using a ViewLux high-throughput CCD imager equipped with clear filters. Pinned compounds are tested as 16-point dilution series, with concentrations ranging from 30.7 μM to 70.1 nM for ALDH1A1 inhibitors (NCT-505, etc.) or 31.7 μM to 0.034 nM for paclitaxel, in triplicate. Data are normalized to positive control bortezomib (1 μM final) and neutral control DMSO.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, NCT-505 may be administered to rodents via intraperitoneal (IP) or intravenous (IV) injection. The compound is formulated in a suitable vehicle such as DMSO, PEG, or saline-based solutions. For tumor xenograft models, immunodeficient mice bearing ALDH1A1-expressing tumors are dosed at various regimens. Endpoints include tumor volume measurement, survival analysis, and biomarker assessment (ALDH activity, cancer stem cell markers in tumor tissues). Blood and tissue samples are collected for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis. All procedures follow institutional animal care guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
NCT-505 (MW 521.61, C₂₇H₂₈FN₅O₃S) is soluble in DMSO. The compound is a potent and selective ALDH1A1 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 7 nM. It shows excellent selectivity over other ALDH isoforms. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are not extensively reported in publicly available sources. The compound is typically stored at -20°C. Further ADME studies are needed to fully characterize its pharmacokinetic profile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for NCT-505 are limited in publicly available sources. As an ALDH inhibitor, potential effects on aldehyde metabolism should be considered. The compound is for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety pharmacology and toxicology studies would be required for therapeutic development. The compound should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions.
