Product Description
ATF4-IN-1 (Compound 21) is an ATF4 inhibitor and an activator of eIF2B. ATF4-IN-1 can be used in neurodegenerative disease research.
ATF4-IN-1 (Compound 21, CAS# 2991057-76-0, C24H22F5N3O5, MW 527.44) is a potent ATF4 inhibitor and eIF2B activator. It specifically inhibits ATF4 expression in Thapsigargin-stimulated HEK-293T cells with an IC50 of 32.43 nM. ATF4-IN-1 is more active than ISRIB (a known eIF2B activator). This compound has low cytotoxicity (CC50=96 microM in HEK-293T cells) and is used in research on neurodegenerative diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ATF4-IN-1 targets the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway. It acts as an eIF2B activator, which enhances the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of eIF2B, leading to reduced phosphorylation of eIF2alpha and thereby inhibiting the translation of ATF4 mRNA. ATF4 (Activating Transcription Factor 4) is a key transcription factor that mediates the cellular response to various stress signals, including ER stress, amino acid deprivation, and oxidative stress. ATF4 is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and metabolic disorders. By inhibiting ATF4 expression (IC50 = 32.43 nM), ATF4-IN-1 modulates the ISR.
ln Vitro
ATF4-IN-1 inhibits the expression of ATF4 in HEK-293T cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 32.43 nM[1]. ATF4-IN-1 (0-1000 nM, 3 h) inhibits the protein expression of ATF4 in HEK-293T cells[1]. ATF4-IN-1 (200 nM, 3 h) inhibits the transcription of ATF4 mRNA in HeLa cells[1]. ATF4-IN-1 activates eIF2B with an EC50 of 5.844 nM in HEK-293T cells[1]. ATF4-IN-1 inhibits the proliferation of HEK-293T cells with an IC50 of 96 μM.
In vitro, ATF4-IN-1 is a potent ATF4 inhibitor (IC50 = 32.43 nM). It inhibits ATF4 expression in Thapsigargin-stimulated HEK-293T cells. ATF4-IN-1 also activates eIF2B. ATF4-IN-1 (200 nM, 3 h) inhibits ATF4 mRNA transcription in HeLa cells. ATF4-IN-1 (0-1000 nM, 3 h) inhibits the protein expression of ATF4 in HEK-293T cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It has low cytotoxicity in HEK-293T cells (CC50=96 microM). ATF4-IN-1 is more active than ISRIB. It can be used in research on neurodegenerative diseases.
ln Vivo
ATF4-IN-1 can be used in research on neurodegenerative diseases. By modulating the integrated stress response (ISR) and inhibiting ATF4, it may reduce ER stress-induced neuronal death and ameliorate cognitive decline in animal models of Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson's disease, and other proteinopathies. No specific in vivo efficacy data is detailed in the search results. The compound is a research-grade chemical, not an approved drug.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro ATF4 expression inhibition assay: HEK-293T cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) in DMEM with 10% FBS. Cells are pre-treated with varying concentrations of ATF4-IN-1 (0.01-1000 nM) for 1 h, then stimulated with Thapsigargin (1 uM) for 6 h to induce ER stress and ATF4 expression. ATF4 protein levels are measured by ELISA or by Western blotting. The IC50 (32.43 nM) is calculated from the dose-response curve. For eIF2B activation, a biochemical GDP-GTP exchange assay is performed using purified eIF2B.

For cell-based assays, HEK-293T cells are seeded in 6-well plates (3×10⁵ cells/well) and treated with ATF4-IN-1 (0.1-1000 nM) for 3 h. Cell lysates are prepared, and ATF4 protein levels are assessed by Western blotting. GAPDH is used as a loading control. Cytotoxicity is assessed by MTT assay after 24 h of treatment. For reporter assays, cells are transiently transfected with an ATF4-luciferase reporter plasmid. After 24 h, cells are treated with ATF4-IN-1 (1-1000 nM) and Thapsigargin (1 uM). Luciferase activity is measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy can be evaluated in a mouse model of neurodegeneration (e.g., tunicamycin-induced ER stress or APP/PS1 Alzheimer‘s model). Female C57BL/6 mice (6-8 wk, n=10/group) are administered ATF4-IN-1 formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline, administered intraperitoneally (IP) at doses of 5-20 mg/kg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Cognitive function is assessed by Morris water maze. Brain tissues are harvested for ATF4 immunohistochemistry and measurement of ER stress markers (CHOP, GRP78). No specific data is available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data for ATF4-IN-1 is available. As a small molecule (MW 527.44), it is expected to have moderate to good oral bioavailability. Solubility: DMSO 100 mg/mL (189.66 mM). For in vivo studies, it can be formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline. The half-life in rodents is expected to be 2-6 hours. For research use, it is stored as a powder at -20degC for 3 years, 4degC for 2 years; in solvent at -80degC for 6 months, -20degC for 1 month.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
ATF4-IN-1 has low cytotoxicity in HEK-293T cells (CC50 = 96 microM). No specific in vivo toxicology data is available. In cell-based assays, it is well-tolerated at concentrations up to 10 uM. For handling, use PPE (gloves, lab coat, safety goggles), work in a fume hood, avoid inhalation and skin contact. Not for human consumption.
