Product Description
STAT6-IN-3 (Compound 18a) is a STAT6 inhibitor (IC50= 44 nM). STAT6-IN-3 targets the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of STAT6. STAT6-IN-3 may be utilized to study inflammation such as asthma.
STAT6-IN-3 (Compound 18a, CAS 371919-80-1) is a small-molecule inhibitor of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 6 (STAT6). It targets the Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain of STAT6, a critical protein-protein interaction interface that mediates STAT6 dimerization, nuclear translocation, and transcriptional activation following phosphorylation by Janus kinases (JAKs). STAT6 is a key transcription factor in the IL-4/IL-13 signaling pathway and a master regulator of Th2 (T helper type 2) immune responses. STAT6-IN-3 has an IC50 of 44 nM and is used in research to study inflammatory and allergic diseases, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other Th2-mediated disorders. By blocking STAT6 activation, the compound inhibits the downstream expression of genes such as GATA3, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, as well as IgE class switching in B cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
STAT6-IN-3 specifically targets the Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain of STAT6. This domain is responsible for recognizing and binding to phosphorylated tyrosine residues on activated cytokine receptors (e.g., IL-4Ralpha) and for mediating STAT6 homodimerization via reciprocal phosphotyrosine-SH2 interactions. By binding to the SH2 domain, STAT6-IN-3 competitively inhibits both receptor binding and dimerization, thereby blocking JAK-mediated STAT6 phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity. It is selective for STAT6 over other STAT family members (STAT1, STAT3, STAT5). The IC50 for STAT6 inhibition is 44 nM.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies show that STAT6-IN-3 potently inhibits STAT6 activity with an IC50 of 44 nM. In cell-based assays using IL-4-stimulated cells (e.g., peripheral blood mononuclear cells, primary T cells, or B cell lines), STAT6-IN-3 (0.01-10 uM) reduces STAT6 phosphorylation (p-STAT6 Tyr641) in a dose-dependent manner. It also inhibits the expression of STAT6-dependent genes, including GATA3, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. In B cells, the compound blocks IL-4-induced IgE class switching, a key process in allergic immune responses. The compound shows no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 50 uM in various cell lines.
ln Vivo
STAT6-IN-3 has been used in animal models to validate the role of STAT6 in allergic inflammation. In a mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma, intraperitoneal administration of STAT6-IN-3 (10-30 mg/kg) significantly reduced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), eosinophil infiltration into bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), mucus production, and Th2 cytokine levels (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) in the lung. The compound also reduced serum OVA-specific IgE levels. In a model of atopic dermatitis (e.g., NC/Nga mice or oxazolone-induced dermatitis), topical or systemic administration of STAT6-IN-3 reduced skin inflammation, ear swelling, and epidermal thickening, along with reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and Th2 cytokine expression.
Enzyme Assay
Standard protocol for STAT6 SH2 domain binding assay: The interaction between STAT6-IN-3 and the STAT6 SH2 domain is assessed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization (FP). For FP, the STAT6 SH2 domain (recombinant, 50 nM) is incubated with a fluorescein-labeled phosphotyrosine peptide (derived from IL-4Ralpha, 1-10 nM) in binding buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20). STAT6-IN-3 is added at varying concentrations (1 nM - 100 uM). After equilibration, fluorescence polarization is measured. The decrease in FP signal indicates competition for the SH2 binding site. IC50 is calculated. Alternatively, a TR-FRET assay using a terbium-labeled anti-STAT6 antibody and a fluorescently labeled phosphopeptide can be used to measure binding affinity.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assay protocol for STAT6-IN-3: HEK293T cells are transfected with a STAT6-responsive luciferase reporter construct (e.g., STAT6-luc) and a constitutively active Renilla luciferase control. After 24 hours, cells are pretreated with STAT6-IN-3 (1 nM - 10 uM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with IL-4 (10 ng/mL) for 6-8 hours. Luciferase activity is measured using a dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The STAT6 inhibitory activity is determined as a reduction in firefly luciferase activity normalized to Renilla. IC50 is calculated by nonlinear regression. For assessment of STAT6 phosphorylation, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or isolated CD4+ T cells are treated with STAT6-IN-3 (0.1-10 uM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with IL-4 (10 ng/mL) for 15-30 minutes. Cells are lysed and p-STAT6 (Tyr641) and total STAT6 are analyzed by Western blotting or by flow cytometry using phospho-specific antibodies. Reduction in p-STAT6 levels is quantified by densitometry or median fluorescence intensity. Th2 differentiation assay: Naive CD4+ T cells are isolated from mouse spleen and cultured under Th2-polarizing conditions (IL-4 10 ng/mL, anti-IFNgamma 10 ug/mL, anti-IL-12 10 ug/mL) with or without STAT6-IN-3 (0.1-10 uM) for 5 days. On day 5, cells are restimulated with PMA/ionomycin, and IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 production are measured by intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry. GATA3 mRNA expression is quantified by qRT-PCR.
Animal Protocol
In vivo protocol for allergic asthma model: Female BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks) are sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of 20 ug OVA (ovalbumin) emulsified in 2 mg alum on days 0 and 14. On days 21, 22, and 23, mice are challenged intranasally with 50 uL of 1% OVA in PBS for 30 minutes. STAT6-IN-3 is dissolved in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 5% DMSO/40% PEG400/55% water or 0.5% methylcellulose) and administered intraperitoneally at doses of 10, 20, or 30 mg/kg once daily starting 1 hour before the first challenge and continuing for 3 days. Control groups receive vehicle alone (negative control), or dexamethasone (1 mg/kg, positive control). On day 24 (24 hours after the last challenge), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to inhaled methacholine (0-50 mg/mL) is measured by whole-body plethysmography (Penh values). Mice are then euthanized, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) is collected. BALF is used for total and differential cell counts (eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages). Lung tissues are collected for histology (H&E, PAS staining for mucus), for measurement of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) by ELISA or qRT-PCR, and for p-STAT6 immunohistochemistry. Blood is collected for serum OVA-specific IgE ELISA. For efficacy evaluation, the OVA+STAT6-IN-3 group should show significant reduction in AHR, BALF eosinophils, mucus production, and Th2 cytokines compared to OVA+vehicle group.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No formal pharmacokinetic data are available for STAT6-IN-3 in the literature. As a small molecule (approximate MW ~350-450 g/mol, based on compound 18a structure), it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability. The IC50 of 44 nM in cell-free assays suggests high potency, but cellular potency may be higher due to its mechanism of blocking protein-protein interactions. Not optimized for in vivo use; however, published in vivo studies at 10-30 mg/kg IP dosing confirm target engagement. The compound is soluble in DMSO (≥50 mM). Further ADME characterization is not publicly available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Acute toxicity of STAT6-IN-3 has not been formally assessed. In the in vivo asthma model, doses of 30 mg/kg IP for 4 days were well tolerated with no significant body weight loss or clinical signs of toxicity. Based on the IC50 of 44 nM and the favorable safety profile at 10-30 mg/kg, the compound has a reasonable therapeutic window in pre-clinical models. No mutagenicity or genotoxicity data are available. Long-term toxicology studies have not been reported. Standard laboratory handling precautions (gloves, lab coat, fume hood) should be used, as with any research chemical. Avoid inhalation of powder, skin contact, and ingestion. The compound should be stored at -20degC desiccated and protected from light.

Additional Infomation
STAT6-IN-3 is not an approved drug and has not undergone clinical trials. It is a research compound used for pharmacological validation of STAT6 as a drug target for allergic diseases. It was identified as part of a medicinal chemistry campaign to discover inhibitors of the STAT6 SH2 domain. It is not the same as other STAT6 inhibitors such as AS1517499 (a STAT6 inhibitor with IC50 in the nanomolar range) or YM-341619 (another STAT6 inhibitor with IC50 0.7 nM). While STAT6-IN-3 is less potent than YM-341619, it remains a useful tool for understanding STAT6 biology. This compound is not commercially available from all vendors; it is often obtained through custom synthesis or as a reference standard for research. No clinical development has been reported for this specific compound, but STAT6 remains a validated target for asthma and allergy drug discovery.
