| Targets |
VPC-80051 targets the RNA-binding domain (RBD) of hnRNP A1, a splicing factor involved in alternative splicing regulation. By inhibiting hnRNP A1 splicing activity, it reduces AR-V7 messenger RNA levels in 22Rv1 CRPC cells. AR-V7 is a constitutively active androgen receptor splice variant associated with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and resistance to anti-androgen therapies. The compound directly interacts with the RNA-binding domain of hnRNP A1.

| ln Vitro |
In the 22Rv1 CRPC cell line, VPC-80051 directly interacts with the hnRNP A1 RBD to lower the levels of AR-V7 messenger. Multifunctional RNA-binding protein hnRNP A1 controls translation of cellular transcripts in both healthy and pathological settings, as well as alternative pre-mRNA splicing, transcription, nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, miRNA processing, and telomere elongation maintenance[1].
VPC-80051 directly interacts with the hnRNP A1 RBD and reduces AR-V7 messenger levels in the 22Rv1 CRPC cell line. This demonstrates its ability to modulate alternative splicing of the androgen receptor pre-mRNA, reducing the production of the constitutively active AR-V7 splice variant. The compound is a prototype inhibitor of the hnRNP A1 splicing factor. Further experimental evaluation demonstrated that VPC-80051 interacts directly with hnRNP A1 RBD and reduces AR-V7 messenger levels in 22Rv1 CRPC cell line. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity has not been extensively reported for VPC-80051 racemate. As a research tool compound targeting hnRNP A1 splicing, its in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties require further investigation. The compound is primarily characterized through in vitro studies. The compound is used for prostate cancer research.

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of VPC-80051 to the hnRNP A1 RBD can be assessed using biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to measure direct protein-ligand interactions. Competitive binding assays may also be employed to evaluate the compound's affinity for the RNA-binding domain. The compound was discovered using a computer-aided drug discovery approach.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro studies are performed in 22Rv1 CRPC cells treated with VPC-80051. AR-V7 and full-length androgen receptor (AR-FL) mRNA levels are quantified by RT-qPCR to assess the compound's effect on hnRNP A1-mediated splicing. The reduction in AR-V7 messenger levels indicates successful inhibition of hnRNP A1 splicing activity. The compound directly interacts with the RNA-binding domain of hnRNP A1.

*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.
