Product Description
Mepazine (Pecazine) is a potent and specific MALT1 protease inhibitor. Mepazine inhibits full-length GSTMALT1 and the 325-760 segment of GSTMALT1 with IC50s of 0.83 and 0.42 μM, respectively. Mepazine affects the viability of ABC-DLBCL cells by enhancing apoptosis.
Pecazine (CAS#: 60-89-9), also known as Mepazine, is a phenothiazine derivative with central nervous system activity and diverse biological properties. With a molecular formula of C19H22N2S and a molecular weight of 310.5 g/mol, Pecazine is a tricyclic compound structurally related to other phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine. Pecazine is a potent and selective MALT1 protease inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.83 μM for GSTMALT1 full length and 0.42 μM for GSTMALT1 325-760. The compound has been found to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial activities. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of various enzymes and signaling pathways that are involved in cell proliferation and inflammation. Pecazine is commonly explored as a neuroactive agent, particularly in studies related to dopamine receptor modulation and psychotropic drug mechanisms. The compound is a phenothiazine derivative widely utilized in pharmacological and biochemical research. Pecazine is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1). Pecazine is a potent and selective MALT1 protease inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.83 μM for GSTMALT1 full length and 0.42 μM for GSTMALT1 325-760. MALT1 is a paracaspase that plays a critical role in the NF-κB signaling pathway, particularly in B-cell and T-cell receptor signaling. By inhibiting MALT1, Pecazine may modulate immune responses and inflammation. Pecazine also exhibits dopamine receptor modulation activity and is commonly explored as a neuroactive agent. The compound has been found to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial activities. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of various enzymes and signaling pathways that are involved in cell proliferation and inflammation. Pecazine is a phenothiazine derivative with central nervous system activity.
ln Vitro
Mepazine (5–20 μM; 4 days) dramatically reduces the viability of activated B-cell subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABCDLBCL) cells, but has no effect on GCB-DLBCL cells [1].

The compound has been found to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial activities. Pecazine's mechanism of action involves the inhibition of various enzymes and signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and inflammation. The compound is commonly explored as a neuroactive agent, particularly in studies related to dopamine receptor modulation and psychotropic drug mechanisms. Pecazine's diverse biological activities make it a valuable tool for studying inflammation, cancer, and neurological disorders.
ln Vivo
Using a murine DLBCL xenograft tumor model, mepazine (16 mg/kg; i.p.) inhibits growth and causes apoptosis in the ABC-DLBCL cell line OCI-Ly10 in NOD/scid IL-2Rgnull (NSG) mice. Expanding the ABC-DLBCL cell line OCI-Ly10 is significantly hindered by the daily treatment of mepazine [1].
Pecazine has been studied in vivo for its effects on MALT1-mediated pathways, inflammation, and neurological function. The compound's potent and selective MALT1 inhibition suggests it would be effective in modulating immune responses in vivo. Pecazine's anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial activities have been evaluated in preclinical models. The compound is commonly explored as a neuroactive agent in studies related to dopamine receptor modulation and psychotropic drug mechanisms. Detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are limited in publicly available sources. Pecazine is a phenothiazine derivative widely utilized in pharmacological and biochemical research.
Enzyme Assay
MALT1 protease activity assays are performed using recombinant MALT1 protein (full length or truncated) and a fluorogenic peptide substrate. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT) at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The cleavage of the substrate generates a fluorescent signal measured at appropriate wavelengths. Pecazine is serially diluted in DMSO and added to the reaction mixture. The IC50 for Pecazine is 0.83 μM for GSTMALT1 full length and 0.42 μM for GSTMALT1 325-760. Each concentration is tested in duplicate, and IC50 values are calculated by non-linear regression analysis. Appropriate positive controls (e.g., known MALT1 inhibitors) and vehicle controls are included to validate the assay.
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: ABC-DLBCL cell line (HBL1, OCI-Ly3, U2932, TMD8, OCI-Ly10) and GCB-DLBCL cell line (BJAB, Su-DHL-6, Su-DHL-4)
Tested Concentrations: 5, 10 and 20 μM
Incubation Duration: 4 days
Experimental Results: Caused a decrease in the viability of HBL1, OCI-Ly3, U2932 and TMD8 cells in ABC-DLBCL cells, but had no significant effect on GCB-DLBCL cells.
Cellular MALT1 inhibition is evaluated in immune cell lines (e.g., Jurkat T cells, Raji B cells). Cells are cultured in appropriate media (e.g., RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS) at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and treated with Pecazine at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 μM for 1-24 hours. MALT1 activity in cell lysates is measured using enzymatic assays with fluorogenic substrates. NF-κB activation is assessed by measuring phosphorylation of IκBα or nuclear translocation of NF-κB by Western blotting or immunofluorescence. Cytokine production (e.g., IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α) is measured by ELISA. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or LDH assays. Each experiment includes vehicle controls (DMSO) and appropriate positive controls (e.g., known MALT1 inhibitors).
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 6 to 8 weeks old female NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice with murine DLBCL xenogeneic tumor model [1]
Doses: 400 μg per animal (25 g), equivalent to approximately 16 mg/ Kilogram. Mode of
Route of Administration: intraperitonealadministration; continuous administration every 24 hrs (hrs (hours)) starting 1 or 12 days after transplantation; Daily administration
Experimental Results: Daily administration strongly impaired the expansion of the ABC-DLBCL cell line OCI-Ly10.
In vivo studies of Pecazine are conducted in animal models of inflammation, cancer, and neurological disorders. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses determined by preclinical studies. Pecazine is formulated in appropriate vehicles (e.g., DMSO/PEG300/Tween 80). Disease progression is monitored by clinical scores, tumor growth, or behavioral assessments. Tissue samples are collected for histopathological analysis and biochemical assays (MALT1 activity, NF-κB activation, cytokine levels). Sample sizes typically range from 6-10 animals per group.

As a phenothiazine derivative, Pecazine may have central nervous system effects, including sedation and extrapyramidal symptoms. Standard toxicity studies would include acute toxicity assessment in rodents, repeated dose toxicity studies (14-day and 28-day), and genotoxicity screening (Ames test, micronucleus assay). Pecazine is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.
