Product Description
Nrf2 activator-4 is a novel potent and orally bioactive Nrf2 activator (EC50 = 0.63 µM) with anti-AD effects. It suppresses reactive oxygen species against oxidative stress in microglia. It has the potential for teating learning and memory impairment in a scopolamine-induced mouse model. Alzheimer's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration and neuronal cell death, resulting in neural network dysfunction. As the underlying mechanisms, oxidative damage and neuroinflammation have been reported to contribute to the onset and deterioration of Alzheimer's disease. The nuclear factor E2-related factor 2-antioxidant responsive element signaling pathway is a pivotal cellular defense mechanism against oxidative stress. Nrf2, a transcription factor, regulates the cellular redox balance and is primarily involved in anti-inflammatory responses.
Nrf2 activator-4 (CAS 2383016-68-8, Compound 20a) is a highly potent, orally active activator of the transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2). It has a molecular formula of C23H24ClF3N2O3 and a molecular weight of 468.90. The compound has an EC50 of 0.63 μM for Nrf2 activation. Nrf2 activator-4 suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) against oxidative stress in microglia and has potential applications in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nrf2 activator-4 targets the transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2), a master regulator of the antioxidant response. Nrf2 binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE) in the promoter region of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes (e.g., HO-1, NQO1, SOD) and detoxifying enzymes. The compound activates Nrf2 with an EC50 of 0.63 μM. By activating Nrf2, it upregulates the expression of cytoprotective genes and suppresses reactive oxygen species against oxidative stress in microglia. It has potential therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Nrf2 activator-4 activates Nrf2 with an EC50 of 0.63 μM. It suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) production against oxidative stress in microglia, demonstrating potent antioxidant activity. The compound upregulates the expression of Nrf2 target genes such as HO-1 and NQO1 in various cell types. It shows neuroprotective effects in cellular models of oxidative stress. In hepatocytes or other relevant cell lines, it may protect against metabolic dysfunction-associated oxidative damage.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Nrf2 activator-4 has potential applications in treating Alzheimer's disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. In scopolamine-induced mouse models, the compound may ameliorate learning and memory impairment, suggesting neuroprotective effects. It is orally active, making it suitable for oral administration. However, specific in vivo efficacy data for this compound are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Nrf2 activator-4 typically involve ARE-luciferase reporter assays or Nrf2 protein stabilization assays. Cells (e.g., HEK293 or HepG2) are transfected with a plasmid containing the ARE sequence upstream of a luciferase reporter gene. Cells are treated with various concentrations of the compound (typically 0.001-10 μM) for 6-24 hours. Luciferase activity is measured using a luminometer. The EC50 for Nrf2 activation is determined from dose-response curves. Nrf2 protein levels can be assessed by Western blotting.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Nrf2 activator-4 use microglial cell lines (e.g., BV2 or primary microglia) to assess ROS suppression. Cells are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS and pre-treated with various concentrations of the compound (typically 0.01-10 μM) for 2-4 hours, followed by exposure to an oxidative stress inducer (e.g., H2O2 or LPS) for 6-24 hours. Intracellular ROS levels are measured using DCFH-DA staining and flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Nrf2 target gene expression (HO-1, NQO1) is analyzed by qPCR. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Nrf2 activator-4 typically use mouse models of Alzheimer's disease or metabolic dysfunction. In scopolamine-induced memory impairment models, mice are administered the compound orally at doses of 1-30 mg/kg for 7-14 days. Cognitive function is assessed by Morris water maze or novel object recognition tests. Brain tissue is analyzed for oxidative stress markers (MDA, GSH), Nrf2 target gene expression, and neuroinflammation markers. In fatty liver disease models, mice are fed a high-fat diet and treated with the compound for 4-8 weeks, followed by assessment of liver histology and serum lipids.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Nrf2 activator-4: The compound is orally active, suggesting good oral bioavailability. Specific PK parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life, and tissue distribution are not extensively reported in the available literature. The compound has a molecular weight of 468.90 and is expected to be metabolized by hepatic CYP450 enzymes. Further pharmacokinetic characterization would be needed for detailed understanding.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Nrf2 activator-4 is not extensively reported in the available literature. As an Nrf2 activator, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile due to its cytoprotective mechanism. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use. Standard toxicity studies would include acute and subchronic oral toxicity in rodents, with monitoring of body weight, clinical signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, and histopathology. No specific genotoxicity or cardiotoxicity data are reported.
