| Targets |
BPK-21 specifically targets C342 in the helicase ERCC3 (XPB), a core subunit of the general transcription factor TFIIH. ERCC3 is involved in transcription and nucleotide excision repair. By covalently binding to C342, BPK-21 blocks ERCC3 function, thereby suppressing T cell activation. The compound's selectivity for ERCC3 makes it a valuable tool for studying the role of this helicase in T cell biology and immune regulation.

| ln Vitro |
T cell activation is considerably reduced by BPK-21 (20 μM)[1]. Blocking ERCC3 function, which may operate downstream or independently of pathways implicated in NFAT and NF-kB activation, is most likely how BPK-21 reduces T cell activation[1].
In vitro, BPK-21 suppresses T cell activation by blocking ERCC3 function. It acts as a covalent inhibitor that selectively targets cysteine 342 in the helicase domain of ERCC3. The compound's activity has been characterized in biochemical and cell-based studies. It is an active acrylamide that forms a covalent bond with its target, leading to irreversible inhibition of ERCC3 helicase activity. Specific IC₅₀ values for its in vitro activity have not been reported in the available literature. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for BPK-21 have not been reported in the available literature. As a covalent inhibitor targeting ERCC3, its in vivo effects would depend on its pharmacokinetic properties and target engagement in relevant tissues. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying T cell activation mechanisms. In vivo studies would be required to evaluate its potential therapeutic applications and systemic effects.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for BPK-21 would typically involve biochemical assays to evaluate its binding to ERCC3. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) could be used to measure binding affinity. Covalent binding to C342 can be assessed using mass spectrometry to confirm the formation of the covalent adduct. ERCC3 helicase activity assays measuring ATP hydrolysis or DNA unwinding could be used to evaluate the compound's inhibitory effect on enzyme function.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for BPK-21 would involve evaluating its effects on T cell activation. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or purified T cells could be stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 in the presence of BPK-21, and T cell proliferation could be measured by CFSE dilution or [³H]-thymidine incorporation. Cytokine secretion (IL-2, IFN-γ) could be measured by ELISA. ERCC3 function could be assessed by measuring its effect on transcription or DNA repair in treated cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for BPK-21 have not been reported in the available literature. As a research tool for studying T cell activation, potential in vivo models could include mouse models of T cell-mediated diseases such as autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies in rodents would be necessary to evaluate its systemic exposure and safety profile. However, specific protocols for in vivo studies of BPK-21 are not documented in the search results.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for BPK-21 have not been reported in the available literature. As a small molecule with a molecular weight of 466.28 g/mol, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion would depend on its physicochemical properties. The compound is an acrylamide-based covalent inhibitor, which may have implications for its metabolic stability and protein binding. No specific pharmacokinetic parameters have been documented for this compound.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data have been reported for BPK-21 in the available literature. As a research compound, it should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions. The compound is an active acrylamide, which may have reactivity concerns and could potentially form covalent adducts with proteins. Its safety profile in humans has not been evaluated. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.

*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.
