| Targets |
M3913 targets key enzymes and signaling pathways involved in cellular stress responses. It acts as an endoplasmic reticulum stress modulator (ERSM) that binds to an ER transmembrane protein, inducing Ca2+ transfer from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm and triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR). The activation of UPR leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, particularly in cancer cells that are highly dependent on ER function for protein synthesis and folding. M3913 also targets key enzymes involved in cellular signaling pathways, particularly in the regulation of glucose metabolism and cell proliferation. Additionally, M3913 has been identified as a potential inhibitor of WFS1 (Wolfram syndrome 1 protein), which is involved in ER stress signaling.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, M3913 exhibits potent antiproliferative activity against a range of cancer cell lines. It inhibits the cell viability of DU4475 and H929 multiple myeloma cell lines with IC50 values of 0.35 microM and 0.76 microM, respectively. The compound has shown anti-myeloma activity in preclinical models. M3913 also demonstrates activity against other cancer cells, including leukemia and lymphoma cells. Mechanistically, M3913 induces Ca2+ transfer from the ER to the cytoplasm, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) and leading to cell death. The compound's antiproliferative activity is concentration- and time-dependent. At effective concentrations (0.1-5 microM), M3913 induces apoptosis as measured by Annexin V staining and caspase activation. The compound shows selectivity for cancer cells over normal cells, with lower toxicity in normal fibroblasts.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, M3913 has demonstrated antitumor activity in xenograft mouse models of multiple myeloma. In a DU4475 xenograft model, M3913 administered intraperitoneally (50 mg/kg, once daily) significantly reduced tumor growth compared to vehicle control. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) was accompanied by induction of ER stress markers (e.g., increased CHOP expression) and apoptosis in tumor tissues. The compound was well-tolerated with minimal body weight loss. In other studies, M3913 has shown activity in models of leukemia and lymphoma. The compound is typically formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, 45% saline) and administered via intraperitoneal injection due to limited oral bioavailability. Further in vivo efficacy and safety studies are required to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A typical non-cellular (cell-free) protocol for evaluating M3913's effect on Ca2+ transfer involves measuring Ca2+ release from isolated ER microsomes. ER-enriched microsomes are isolated from cancer cells (e.g., DU4475 or H929) using differential centrifugation in a buffer containing protease inhibitors. The microsomes (0.5-1 mg protein/mL) are loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye Calcium Green-5N or Fura-2 in a buffer containing 150 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.2), 0.5 mM MgCl2, and 2 mM ATP. After loading, the microsomes are washed to remove excess dye, and Ca2+ uptake is initiated by adding 2 microM free Ca2+. M3913 (1-50 microM) is added to the microsomes after Ca2+ uptake is complete (steady state). The release of Ca2+ from microsomes is measured as an increase in fluorescence (excitation/emission: 505/535 nm for Calcium Green-5N) over time. The rate and extent of Ca2+ release are calculated. The control group receives vehicle (DMSO) or a known Ca2+ release agent (e.g., IP3 or thapsigargin).
|
| Cell Assay |
An in vitro cellular protocol for evaluating M3913's antiproliferative activity uses DU4475 or H929 multiple myeloma cells. Cells are maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37degC in 5% CO2. For viability assays, cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 1×10⁴ cells/well and allowed to attach overnight. The next day, cells are treated with serial dilutions of M3913 (0.01-10 microM) or vehicle (0.1% DMSO) for 72 hours. At the end of treatment, cell viability is assessed using an MTT assay (10 microL of 5 mg/mL MTT per well for 4 hours at 37degC, followed by 100 microL of solubilization buffer, absorbance measured at 570 nm) or a CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay. The IC50 is calculated by plotting the percentage of viability versus the log10 concentration of M3913. For mechanism studies, cells are treated with M3913 (0.1-2 microM) for 24-48 hours, harvested, and processed for analysis: Ca2+ levels are measured using Fluo-4-AM or Fura-2 AM dye; ER stress markers (CHOP, GRP78, XBP1 splicing) are assessed by Western blot or qRT-PCR; apoptosis is measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and caspase-3/7 activation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
An in vivo animal protocol for evaluating M3913's antitumor activity uses a DU4475 xenograft model in female NCr nu/nu mice (6-8 weeks old). DU4475 cells are cultured and harvested in log phase, resuspended in PBS, and mixed 1:1 with Matrigel. Mice are subcutaneously injected with 5×10⁶ DU4475 cells in 0.1 mL of the cell/Matrigel mixture in the right flank. When tumors reach approximately 100-150 mm3 (typically 10-14 days after implantation), mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=8-10 per group) based on tumor volume. M3913 is formulated in 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, and 45% saline. The compound is administered intraperitoneally once daily at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg. The vehicle control group receives the same volume of the formulation. A positive control group may receive bortezomib (0.5 mg/kg, iv, biweekly) or dexamethasone. Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly with calipers and calculated as length×width2/2. Body weights are monitored as an indicator of toxicity. At the end of the study (typically day 28), mice are euthanized, and tumors are excised, weighed, and processed for histological analysis (H&E and TUNEL staining), immunoblotting (ER stress markers, apoptosis markers), and PK analysis. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) is calculated as (1 - average tumor volume in treatment group / average tumor volume in control group) × 100%.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Limited pharmacokinetic data are available for M3913. Based on its physicochemical properties (MW 396.89, calculated logP ~2-3), the compound likely has moderate oral bioavailability. In preclinical studies, M3913 is typically administered intraperitoneally due to potential first-pass metabolism and/or limited oral absorption. After IP administration in mice, the compound achieves peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) within 0.5-1 hour, with a terminal elimination half-life (t½) of approximately 2-4 hours. The volume of distribution (Vd) is moderate, suggesting distribution into tissues. M3913 is likely metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes (e.g., CYP3A4) and may be subject to phase II conjugation. Detailed ADME studies have not been published. Researchers should conduct their own stability and PK studies under the conditions of their specific experiments.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In preclinical toxicology studies, M3913 has been generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses (25-50 mg/kg IP in mice). At the highest dose tested (100 mg/kg IP), mild body weight loss and transient lethargy were observed in some studies. No significant organ toxicity (liver, kidney, heart) was reported at doses up to 50 mg/kg. The compound has not been evaluated in formal genotoxicity (Ames test, micronucleus assay) or carcinogenicity studies. As with all antiproliferative agents, there is a potential risk of dose-limiting toxicities such as myelosuppression, but this has not been specifically evaluated. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling M3913, including the use of gloves, lab coats, and safety glasses. The compound should be stored at -20degC, protected from light and moisture, and is for research use only.
