Product Description
MuRF1-IN-1 is a MuRF1 inhibitor that reduces skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction in cardiac cachexia.
MuRF1-IN-1 (CAS 445222-91-3) is an orally active inhibitor of muscle ring finger protein-1 (MuRF1), a key E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in muscle protein degradation and atrophy. It has the molecular formula C₁₈H₁₅N₃O₃ and a molecular weight of 321.33 g/mol. MuRF1-IN-1 attenuates skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction in cardiac cachexia. The compound can inhibit the interaction between MuRF1 and titin as well as E3 ligase activity. Its primary application lies in preclinical models of muscle wasting, particularly cardiac cachexia and dexamethasone-induced atrophy, where it has shown protective effects on myofiber integrity and contractile function. MuRF1-IN-1 demonstrated significant protection against monocrotaline-induced cardiac cachexia in mice.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MuRF1-IN-1 targets muscle ring finger protein-1 (MuRF1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of structural proteins such as titin. By inhibiting MuRF1, the compound prevents the ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated breakdown of muscle proteins, preserving muscle mass and function in catabolic conditions. The primary mechanism of action is the targeted inhibition of MuRF1, a critical enzyme in the process of muscle protein degradation.
ln Vitro
MuRF1-IN-1 effectively inhibits the interaction between MuRF1 and its substrate titin with an IC₅₀ value below 25 μM. It also inhibits E3 ligase activity of MuRF1. These in vitro activities demonstrate the compound's ability to disrupt MuRF1-mediated protein ubiquitination and degradation in muscle cells. The compound is a selective inhibitor of Muscle RING-Finger Protein-1.
ln Vivo
MuRF1-IN-1 attenuates skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction in a mouse model of cardiac cachexia. Oral administration of the compound reduces muscle wasting and preserves contractile function, indicating its potential for treating muscle-wasting disorders associated with chronic diseases and aging. MuRF1-IN-1 (0.1% w/w; dietary administration; 7 weeks) has improvement effects in a mouse model of cardiac cachexia.
Enzyme Assay
The inhibition of MuRF1-titin complexation can be assessed using biochemical binding or pull-down assays, where the compound's ability to disrupt the protein-protein interaction is measured. E3 ligase activity of MuRF1 can be evaluated using ubiquitination assays with recombinant MuRF1 and substrate proteins. The IC₅₀ for inhibition of MuRF1-titin complexation is below 25 μM.
Cell Assay
MuRF1-IN-1 is evaluated in muscle cell lines to assess its effects on MuRF1-mediated protein degradation. Cells are treated with the compound, and the levels of MuRF1 substrates such as titin are measured by immunoblotting. The IC₅₀ for inhibition of MuRF1-titin complexation is determined.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy is evaluated in a mouse model of cardiac cachexia. Mice are administered MuRF1-IN-1 orally, and skeletal muscle atrophy and contractile dysfunction are assessed. Muscle mass, fiber cross-sectional area, and grip strength are measured to evaluate the compound's protective effects. MuRF1-IN-1 (0.1% w/w; dietary administration; 7 weeks) has improvement effects in a mouse model of cardiac cachexia.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MuRF1-IN-1 is orally active. However, its pharmacokinetic limitations have been reported, leading to the development of optimized analogs such as MyoMed-205 and MyoMed-946 with improved serum stability. Detailed PK parameters have not been published. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 60 mg/mL.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data have been reported for MuRF1-IN-1. As a research compound, it should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions. Its safety profile in humans has not been evaluated. The compound is for research use only.
