Product Description
NIC3 is a selective inhibitor of nucleus accumbens-associated protein 1 (NAC1). It binds to the conserved site Leu-90 of NAC1 and prevents its homodimerization, leading to the degradation of NAC1 by the proteasome. Has anti-tumor activity.
NIC3 (CAS#: 494830-67-0) is a selective inhibitor of nucleus accumbens-associated protein 1 (NAC1). It binds to the conserved site Leu-90 of NAC1 and prevents its homodimerization, leading to the degradation of NAC1 by the proteasome. NIC3 has anti-cancer activity. It sensitizes drug-resistant tumor cells to conventional chemotherapy and enhances the anti-metastatic effect of the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab both in vitro and in vivo. Its molecular formula is C26H36N2O4 with a molecular weight of 440.58 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NIC3 specifically targets nucleus accumbens-associated protein 1 (NAC1), an oncogenic protein involved in tumor progression and drug resistance. It binds to the conserved site Leu-90 of NAC1 and prevents its homodimerization. This leads to proteasomal degradation of NAC1. By down-regulating NAC1 protein, NIC3 sensitizes drug-resistant tumor cells to conventional chemotherapy and enhances the anti-metastatic effect of bevacizumab. The compound has anti-cancer activity.
ln Vitro
In vitro, NIC3 is a selective inhibitor of NAC1, binding to the conserved site Leu-90 and preventing homodimerization. This leads to proteasomal degradation of NAC1. NIC3 sensitizes drug-resistant tumor cells to conventional chemotherapy and enhances the anti-metastatic effect of bevacizumab. The compound has anti-cancer activity in various cancer cell models. Its effects on NAC1 degradation and tumor cell sensitization have been characterized in cell-based assays.
ln Vivo
In vivo, NIC3 (25 mg/kg, iv, every three days for 6 doses) exhibits antitumor activity against Adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 in mouse models. It sensitizes drug-resistant tumor cells to conventional chemotherapy and enhances the anti-metastatic effect of bevacizumab. NIC3 has anti-cancer activity in various tumor models. The compound down-regulates NAC1 protein, leading to tumor growth inhibition. Further in vivo studies are ongoing to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
NIC3 NAC1 binding assays involve measuring binding to the conserved site Leu-90 of NAC1. Binding affinity is assessed using surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, or fluorescence-based assays. NAC1 homodimerization inhibition is assessed using co-immunoprecipitation or crosslinking assays. Proteasomal degradation of NAC1 is assessed by measuring NAC1 protein levels by Western blot after treatment. Anti-cancer activity is assessed by measuring inhibition of cancer cell proliferation or induction of apoptosis. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls.
Cell Assay
NIC3 cell-based assays are conducted in cancer cell lines including Adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with NIC3 at varying concentrations. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays. NAC1 protein levels are assessed by Western blot. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays. Sensitization to chemotherapy is assessed by combining NIC3 with conventional chemotherapeutic agents. Anti-metastatic effects are assessed by migration and invasion assays. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls.
Animal Protocol
NIC3 in vivo studies are conducted in mouse models of cancer. Tumor-bearing mice (e.g., Adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 xenografts) are treated with NIC3 at 25 mg/kg, iv, every three days for 6 doses. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements. For combination studies, NIC3 is combined with conventional chemotherapeutic agents or bevacizumab. Metastasis is assessed by examining distant organs. NAC1 protein levels in tumors are assessed by immunohistochemistry or Western blot. Animals are monitored for clinical signs. Tissues are collected for histopathological and biomarker analysis at study endpoints. Studies are conducted in accordance with institutional animal care guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
NIC3 (MW 440.58 g/mol, C26H36N2O4) is a small molecule inhibitor. It is also known as 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-N-{2-[2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)acetamido]ethyl}acetamide. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. It is stable under recommended storage conditions. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution would be determined in species-specific studies. The compound is typically administered intravenously in preclinical studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
NIC3 is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies at therapeutic doses. The compound is a selective NAC1 inhibitor with anti-cancer activity. Its effects on sensitizing drug-resistant tumors and enhancing anti-metastatic effects have been demonstrated with acceptable safety profiles. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the available literature at research-use concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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.)

*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.
