Product Description
KB-0118 is an orally potent BET bromide domain inhibitor. KB-0118 selectively binds to BRD2 and BRD4, but not BRD3, with Kd values of 36.7 μM and 47.4 μM for BRD2 and BD1, respectively. KB-0118 inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF, IL-1β, and IL-23a, and selectively inhibits Th17 cell differentiation. KB-0118 modulates Th17-driven inflammation through epigenetic inhibition of BRD4, as evidenced by the downregulation of STAT3 and BRD4 target genes. KB-0118 exhibits immunomodulatory effects in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) models.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
KB-0118 (1–10 μM, 12 h) downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF, MIF, and CSF2) in PMA/roximycin (6)-treated Jurkat cells [1]. KB-0118 (1–10 μM, 12 h) downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, IL-23a, and Cxcl11) in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells [1]. KB-0118 (5 μM, 5 days) inhibited the proliferation of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 activated mouse CD4+ T cells, manifested by a decrease in cell division, proliferation, expansion, and replication indices [1]. KB-0118 (5 μM, 5 days) reduced the proportion of Th17 cells (RORγt+ IL-17A+), indicating that it inhibited Th17 cell differentiation [1]. KB-0118 (5 μM, 5 days) increased the proportion of Th2 cells (GATA-3+ IL-4+), indicating that it can promote Th2 polarization [1]. KB-0118 (0.01-1 μM, 24 hours) improved the survival rate of Caco-2 cells treated with DSS (5%, 48 hours) [1].
ln Vivo
KB-0118 (200 mg/kg, dissolved in drinking water, for 7 consecutive days) alleviated colitis symptoms in a mouse model of DSS (3% dissolved in drinking water) induced by DSS [1]. KB-0118 (50 mg/kg, orally, once daily for 6 weeks) alleviated T-cell-mediated colitis by reducing the IL-17a-driven inflammatory response in a mouse model of chronic T-cell-mediated colitis [1]. KB-0118 (50–250 mg/kg, orally, for 14 consecutive days) showed good tolerability in both male and female C57BL/6 mice [1].
Cell Assay
RT-PCR[1]
Cell Types: Jurkat cells
Tested Concentrations: 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM
Incubation Duration: Pretreatment for 6 hours, followed by co-incubation with PMA/roxithromycin for 6 hours
Experimental Results: The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly TNF, MIF, CSF2, and TGFB1, was downregulated, and these downregulations were statistically significant at concentrations of 5 μM and 10 μM. The expression of IL-3, IL-4, and IL-26 was upregulated.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:A male C57BL/6 mouse colitis model induced by DSS (3% concentration in drinking water) was used [1].
Doses: 200 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Added to drinking water for 7 consecutive days
Experimental Results: Compared with the DSS-only group, this study showed a significant protective effect on colon length, maintained colon integrity, and reduced inflammation. Compared with the DSS-only group, this study reduced epithelial damage and immune cell infiltration. Compared with the DSS-only group, this study slightly reduced body weight and disease activity index (DAI), but the difference was not statistically significant.
Animal/Disease Models:A chronic colitis model induced by adoptive transfer of CD45RBhigh T cells into RAG1 KO mice [1].
Doses: 50 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral gavage (po), once daily for 6 weeks
Experimental Results: Compared with the vector control group, the mice showed reduced body weight and increased colon length. Reduced colonic epithelial damage and immune cell infiltration, demonstrating superior efficacy compared to MS402. IL-17a levels were decreased in the DSS-treated colon. Downregulation of key genes for T cell activation and cytotoxicity (e.g., Cd3e, Lck, and Stat4) and integrin genes (e.g., Itgam and Itgal) was observed (batch RNA sequencing). Reduced expression of genes regulated by immune-related transcription factors (e.g., IRF8, FOXO1, and RUNX1) was observed (batch RNA sequencing).

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.2334 mL 16.1671 mL 32.3342 mL
5 mM 0.6467 mL 3.2334 mL 6.4668 mL
10 mM 0.3233 mL 1.6167 mL 3.2334 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
