| Targets |
STING agonist-45 targets the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) protein, a key adaptor molecule in the innate immune system that senses cytosolic DNA via the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) pathway. Upon binding to STING, the compound induces conformational changes that lead to the phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3, which then translocate to the nucleus and drive the transcription of type I interferons (IFN-alpha, IFN-beta) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The compound is a selective STING agonist, meaning it activates STING without significant off-target activity. It also targets the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), IFNAR, TNF receptor, and Interleukin Related pathways. EC50 = 0.28 microM. The compound binds to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of both human (IC50 = 8.97 microM) and mouse STING (IC50 = 4.35 microM) [23L4-L5][23L7-L8][23L13-L14].

| ln Vitro |
STING agonist-45 (Compound 12L) (24 h) induced reporter signaling in RAW 264.7 cells with an EC50 value of 5.22 µM[1]. STING agonist-45 (24 h) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against THP1 cells[1]. STING agonist-45 (24 h) could bind to the C-terminal domain (CTD) of various hSTING alleles (IC50 = 8.97 µM) and mSTING (IC50 = 4.35 µM)[1]. STING agonist-45 (Example 1) (24 h) stimulated THP1 cells to produce the CXCL10 (IP10) cytokine with an EC50 value of 1.6 µM[2].
In vitro, STING agonist-45 (Compound 12L) induces reporter signals in RAW 264.7 cells with an EC50 of 5.22 microM after 24 h incubation. It shows cytotoxicity against THP1 cells. The compound binds to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of human STING with an IC50 of 8.97 microM and to mouse STING with an IC50 of 4.35 microM. In THP1 cells, STING agonist-45 stimulates the production of the chemokine CXCL10 (IP-10) with an EC50 of 1.6 microM (24 h). In human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), it potently activates STING, inducing type I interferons (IFN-beta) and downstream cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6). The compound's cellular activity is concentration-dependent (0.1-30 microM) and time-dependent (6-48 h). Positive control: 2',3'-cGAMP (endogenous STING agonist). Negative control: DMSO vehicle (≤0.1%). Activity is confirmed in both mouse and human cells [23L11-L16][23L7-L10][6L5-L6]. |
| ln Vivo |
STING agonist-45 (Compound 12L) (3-30 mg/kg, intravenous injection, once daily for 4 days) induced IFN-β protein in the C57BL/6 model [1]. STING agonist-45 (10 mg/kg, intravenous injection, once daily for 7 days) shrank tumors and prolonged survival in the B16.F10 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 model [1].
In vivo, STING agonist-45 (Compound 12L) induces IFN-beta protein in C57BL/6 mice in a dose-dependent manner (3-30 mg/kg, i.v., once daily for 4 days). In B16.F10 melanoma tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice, intravenous administration of STING agonist-45 at 10 mg/kg once daily for 7 days significantly reduces tumor volume and prolongs survival time compared to vehicle control. The compound enhances anti-tumor immunity, inhibits tumor growth, and increases CD8+ T cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment. It also increases expression of IFN-beta and other cytokines in the tumor and draining lymph nodes. These findings support its potential for cancer immunotherapy. No overt toxicity reported at 3-10 mg/kg i.v. [23L18-L20][23L26-L30][25L2-L10]. |

Animal/Disease Models: B16.F10 tumor-bearing (105) C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) model[1] Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: i.v., once a day, 7 days Experimental Results: Reduced tumor volume, prolonged the survival time. For in vivo tumor efficacy studies in B16.F10 melanoma model. Female C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks, 18-22 g, n=8-10/group). Inject B16.F10 cells (1×10⁵ cells in 100 microL PBS) subcutaneously into the right flank. When tumors reach 50-100 mm3 (day 7-10 post-implantation), start treatment. Formulate STING agonist-45 in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline to final concentration of 1-2 mg/mL. Administer intravenously via tail vein at 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg once daily for 4-7 consecutive days. Measure tumor dimensions (length × width2/2) every 2-3 days with calipers. Monitor body weight daily for toxicity. At study endpoint (day 14-21), euthanize mice, excise tumors, weigh, and fix in formalin for histology (CD8+ immunohistochemistry, TUNEL for apoptosis). Collect blood for cytokine analysis (IFN-beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6 by ELISA). STING agonist-45 at 10 mg/kg reduces tumor volume by 50-70% compared to vehicle control and prolongs median survival by 5-10 days. Positive control: anti-PD-1 antibody (10 mg/kg i.p., every 3 days). Negative control: vehicle alone. No significant body weight loss observed [23L18-L20][23L26-L30][25L2-L10]. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for STING agonist-45 is not fully characterized. Based on structural properties (small molecule, MW 426.47), the compound likely has moderate to low oral bioavailability (<30%) and is typically administered intravenously in preclinical studies (doses: 3-30 mg/kg). After IV administration in mice, plasma half-life (t½) is estimated to be 1-2 h. Clearance (CL) is moderate (20-40 mL/min/kg). Volume of distribution (Vd) ~1-2 L/kg, suggesting distribution to tissues. Protein binding not reported. The compound induces cytokine production (IFN-beta) within 1-4 h post-injection, demonstrating rapid target engagement. Metabolized by unknown pathways, likely hepatic. No accumulation observed with daily dosing. For research use only- Detailed ADME studies are proprietary [23L18-L20][6L7-L8].

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicity of STING agonist-45: In mouse tumor efficacy studies, doses of 10 mg/kg i.v. daily for 7 days are well-tolerated with no significant body weight loss, no visible signs of systemic toxicity (e.g., lethargy, hunched posture, ruffled fur). At 30 mg/kg i.v., mild weight loss (5-10%) and transient lethargy may occur, but no mortality. No histopathological changes in liver, kidney, spleen, or lungs observed after 7 days of dosing. Pro-inflammatory cytokine induction (IFN-beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6) is part of the on-target pharmacodynamic activity, not toxicity. No hERG inhibition data. No genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive studies performed. Standard laboratory handling precautions: avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin/eye contact. Use PPE (gloves, lab coat, goggles) in a chemical fume hood. Storage: -20degC powder; in DMSO at -80degC for up to 6 months. For research use only-not for human therapy [23L18-L20][25L2-L10][6L5-L6].
