Product Description
SKLB-D18 is an orally effective ERK1/2/ERK5 inhibitor with an IC50 of 38.69 nM and Kd of 126.9 nM for human ERK1; 40.12 nM and 209.8 nM for ERK2; and 59.72 nM and 468.2 nM for ERK5. SKLB-D18 inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. SKLB-D18 reduces the levels of p-ERK5, p-RSKp90, pc-Myc, and c-Myc, and upregulates the level of p-ERK1/2, thereby inhibiting the ERK1/2/5 signaling pathway in cells. SKLB-D18 increases LC3B-II accumulation and decreases the levels of p62, p-mTOR, and p-p70S6K. SKLB-D18 also increases the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, and free ferrous ions, decreases the levels of NCOA4 and GPX4, and induces ferritin autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in cancer cells. SKLB-D18 exhibits antitumor activity in a triple-negative breast cancer xenograft mouse model. SKLB-D18 may be used in research related to triple-negative breast cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
SKLB-D18 (1 μM) exhibits high selectivity for ERK1, ERK2, and ERK5, with inhibition rates of 96%, 94%, and 83%, respectively, at a concentration of 1 μM [1]. SKLB-D18 (0–20 μM; 72 h) effectively inhibits the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 (IC50 0.93 μM) and MDA-MB-468 (IC50 1.05 μM) cells in vitro, and this activity is dependent on the expression of ERK1/2/5 [1]. SKLB-D18 (2 μM; 2 h) can directly bind to ERK1/2 and ERK5 proteins in intact MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells [1]. SKLB-D18 (1-5 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently reduced the levels of p-ERK5, p-RSKp90, pc-Myc, and c-Myc, while upregulating the level of p-ERK1/2, thereby inhibiting the ERK1/2/5 pathway in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells [1]. SKLB-D18 (1-5 μM; 14 days) dose-dependently and potently inhibited the long-term colony formation and proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells [1]. SKLB-D18 (1-5 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells [1]. SKLB-D18 (0.5–2 μM; 16 h) effectively and in a dose-dependent manner inhibited the migration of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells[1]. SKLB-D18 (1–5 μM; 24 h) activated complete autophagy in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells by inhibiting the mTOR/p70S6K pathway. After 24 hours of treatment, increased LC3B-II accumulation was observed, while p62, p-mTOR, and p-p70S6K levels decreased[1]. SKLB-D18 (1–5 μM; 24 h) induced ferritin autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells by increasing ROS, lipid peroxidation, and free ferrous ions, and decreasing NCOA4 and GPX4 levels[1].
ln Vivo
SKLB-D18 (25-50 mg/kg; orally; once daily for 16 days) inhibited the growth of triple-negative breast cancer tumors in a dose-dependent manner in a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model [1].
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-436, BT549; ERK1/2/5 knockdown MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0-20 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hours
Experimental Results: Cell viability was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 values were 0.93 μM (MDA-MB-231), 1.05 μM (MDA-MB-468), 2.31 μM (MDA-MB-436) and 3.21 μM (BT549), respectively. In ERK1/2/5 knockdown MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, antiproliferative activity was significantly reduced, with IC50 values of 14.81 μM and 19.84 μM, respectively.
Western Blot Analysis [1]
Cell Types: MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells
Tested Concentrations: 1-5 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hours
Experimental Results: Phosphorylated ERK5 (p-ERK5), phosphorylated RSKp90 (p-RSKp90), phosphorylated c-Myc (pc-Myc), and total c-Myc levels decreased in a dose-dependent manner in both cell lines. Phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) levels increased in a dose-dependent manner, while total ERK1/2 and ERK5 levels remained unchanged. Compared with the combination of BVD-523 and XMD8-92, it showed stronger inhibitory effects on p-ERK5, p-RSKp90, pc-Myc and c-Myc at 5 μM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:BALB/c-nu nude mice (female, 6 weeks old, 17-19 g, subcutaneous xenograft model)[1]
Doses: 25 mg/kg; 50 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral; once daily; 16 days
Experimental Results: The tumor inhibition rate in the 25 mg/kg dose group was 59.23% (relative to the control group). The tumor inhibition rate in the 50 mg/kg dose group was 79.88% (relative to the control group), which was superior to the combined use of BVD-523 and XMD8-92 (inhibition rate of 72.66%). The drug dose-dependently reduced the number of Ki-67 positive tumor cells, and the proportion of Ki-67 positive areas in the 50 mg/kg group was less than 20%. This drug dose-dependently induces the accumulation of p-ERK1/2 in tumor tissue and dose-dependently inhibits the expression of p-ERK5. The 50 mg/kg group showed stronger inhibitory effects on p-ERK5 than the combined BVD-523 and XMD8-92 group. No significant weight loss or major organ toxicity was observed in either treatment group.
