Product Description
NM-3 is an isocoumarin with anti-arthritic and anti-angiogenic effects. NM-3 is an orally bioactive anti-angiogenic agent with low toxicity.
NM-3 (isocoumarin) (CAS#: 181427-78-1) is an orally bioavailable anti-angiogenic isocoumarin with potential antineoplastic activity. It is a synthetic isocoumarin that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a pro-angiogenic growth factor, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation. NM-3 has anti-arthritic and anti-angiogenic effects and has been used in clinical trials for cancer treatment. The compound has low toxicity and is used as a radiation modulator in vitro and in vivo. NM-3 inhibits angiogenesis in implanted dorsal air sac models in mice at doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. The compound has a molecular weight of 264.23 and a molecular formula of C13H12O6. It is also known as 2-(8-Hydroxy-6-methoxy-1-oxo-1H-isochromen-3-yl)propionic acid.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of NM-3 is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key pro-angiogenic growth factor. By inhibiting VEGF, NM-3 prevents the activation of VEGF receptors on endothelial cells, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation. This anti-angiogenic mechanism reduces the formation of new blood vessels, which is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. NM-3 inhibits angiogenesis with an IC50 of 1 μg/mL (approximately 3.78 μM). The compound's anti-arthritic effects are also attributed to its anti-angiogenic activity, as angiogenesis plays a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.
ln Vitro
In vitro, NM-3 inhibits VEGF-mediated endothelial cell proliferation with an IC50 of 1 μg/mL (approximately 3.78 μM). It inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the effects of VEGF on endothelial cells. The compound's activity is typically measured using endothelial cell proliferation assays, tube formation assays, or migration assays in the presence of VEGF. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. NM-3 has also been shown to have anti-arthritic effects in vitro. The compound's mechanism involves inhibition of VEGF signaling, which is a well-established target for anti-angiogenic therapy.
ln Vivo
In vivo, NM-3 is an orally active anti-angiogenic agent with low toxicity. It inhibits S180 cell-induced angiogenesis in an implanted dorsal air sac in mice when administered at doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. NM-3 has been used in clinical trials for cancer treatment. The compound is also used as a radiation modulator in vitro and in vivo. Its anti-arthritic effects have been demonstrated in animal models. The compound's oral bioavailability and low toxicity make it a promising candidate for therapeutic development. The compound's ability to inhibit angiogenesis in vivo has been well-documented.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for NM-3 involve VEGF inhibition assays using purified VEGF or VEGF receptor proteins. The compound's ability to inhibit VEGF-mediated signaling is measured by monitoring the phosphorylation of VEGF receptors or downstream signaling molecules such as ERK or AKT. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. Binding assays using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or ELISA can be employed to measure the affinity of NM-3 for VEGF or its receptors. These assays confirm that NM-3 directly inhibits VEGF activity.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for NM-3 are conducted in endothelial cells, such as human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cells are treated with varying concentrations of NM-3 in the presence of VEGF, and cell proliferation is measured using MTT or similar assays. Tube formation assays are performed on Matrigel to assess the compound's ability to inhibit endothelial cell network formation. Migration assays using Boyden chambers or wound healing assays are employed to assess the compound's effects on endothelial cell motility. These assays confirm that NM-3 engages its target in a cellular context and produces the expected inhibition of angiogenesis.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for NM-3 are conducted in mouse models of angiogenesis and cancer. In the dorsal air sac model, mice are implanted with S180 cells and treated with NM-3 at doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. Angiogenesis is assessed by measuring the number and density of blood vessels in the implanted area. In xenograft models, mice are implanted with tumor cells and treated with NM-3, and tumor growth is monitored. The compound's anti-arthritic effects are assessed in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis. These studies confirm that NM-3 is effective in vivo and provide information about its therapeutic potential.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of NM-3 indicate that it has a molecular weight of 264.23 and a molecular formula of C13H12O6. The compound is orally bioavailable, enabling convenient administration for in vivo studies. It is an isocoumarin with low toxicity. For storage, the powder should be kept under appropriate conditions to maintain stability. The compound's solubility and other physicochemical properties facilitate its use in in vitro assays and formulation for in vivo administration. Its oral bioavailability supports its development as a therapeutic agent.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of NM-3 indicates that it has low toxicity. In preclinical studies, the compound has been shown to be well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. The compound has been used in clinical trials for cancer treatment, suggesting that it has an acceptable safety profile for human use. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required for full clinical development, including assessments of hematological, hepatic, and renal function. The compound's low toxicity and oral bioavailability make it a promising candidate for further development.
