Product Description
Nrf2-IN-4 is an Nrf2 inhibitor. Nrf2-IN-4 induces ferroptosis by inhibiting NRF2. Nrf2-IN-4 disrupts cellular iron homeostasis, promotes ferritin degradation, and ultimately triggers ferroptosis. Nrf2-IN-4 activates lysosomes by promoting the production of iron-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lysosomal acidification. Nrf2-IN-4 has shown significant anti-tumor efficacy. Nrf2-IN-4 may be used in breast cancer research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nrf2-IN-4 (compound PhcY) (0.01-10 μM, 72 hours) has inhibitory effects on various cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of: MCF-7 cells 80 nM, HepG2 cells 3.26 μM, T24 cells 0.90 μM, HCT116 cells 2.89 μM, L929 fibroblasts 3.27 μM, and HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells 5.36 μM [1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (40-160 nM) can induce MCF-7 cells to exhibit "balloon-like" and round cell morphology, with vacuoles appearing in the cytoplasm [1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (40-80 nM, 14 days) inhibits the clonogenic formation of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner [1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (80-160 nM, 24-48 h) increases the unstable iron pool (LIP) and induces ferroptosis in MCF-7 cells by inhibiting Nrf2[1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (80-320 nM, 24 h) induces lysosomal activation by promoting the production of iron-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lysosomal acidification in MCF-7 cells[1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (40-320 nM, 0-12 h) induces ferritin degradation in MCF-7 cells via ferritin autophagy[1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (80-320 nM) induces oxidative stress, resulting in a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, which can be mitigated by acetylcysteine (N-acetylcysteine) (NAC)[1]. Nrf2-IN-4 (0.1-0.2 μM) showed a strong inhibitory effect on organoid growth, exceeding the efficacy of ML385(3)[1].
ln Vivo
Nrf2-IN-4 (compound PhcY) (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 21 days) showed significant antitumor efficacy in MCF-7 xenograft mice [1].

Cell Types: MCF-7 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 hours
Incubation Duration: 24 hours
Experimental Results: Beclin-1, LC3-II, and ATG5 protein levels increased in a dose-dependent manner. Intracellular FTH and FTL levels decreased, and this decrease was reversed by autophagy inhibitors (bafloxacin A1, chloroquine) and the iron chelator deferoxamine.

Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:MCF-7 cells (5 × 10⁶) were subcutaneously injected into each adult female athymic nude mouse [1].
Doses: 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection daily for 21 days
Experimental Results: Caused degradation of FTH and FTL, and upregulation of P53 and LC3-II expression. No significant weight loss or other observable adverse reactions were observed in mice.

*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)
