| 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.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: HEK-293 T Tested Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 nM Incubation Duration: 3 h Experimental Results: Inhibited ATF4 expression. Real Time qPCR[1] Cell Types: HeLa Tested Tested Concentrations: 200 nM Incubation Duration: 3 h Experimental Results: Inhibited mRNA transcription of ATF4. 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.
