IC50: 1.6 μM (MTHFD2), >30 μM (MTHFD1)[1].
DS44960156 selectively targets methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 2 (MTHFD2), a mitochondrial enzyme in the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism pathway. MTHFD2 catalyzes the conversion of 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, providing one-carbon units for nucleotide synthesis. DS44960156 inhibits MTHFD2 with an IC50 of 1.6 μM and a Ki of 1.23 μM. It is selective for MTHFD2 over the cytoplasmic isoform MTHFD1, with an IC50 of >30 μM for MTHFD1. By inhibiting MTHFD2, the compound disrupts nucleotide synthesis and impairs cancer cell proliferation. |

| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro enzyme assay for DS44960156 involves measuring its inhibition of MTHFD2 and MTHFD1 enzymatic activities. Recombinant human MTHFD2 and MTHFD1 are expressed and purified. Enzyme activity is assessed by spectrophotometrically monitoring the conversion of 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, coupled to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. DS44960156 is incubated with the enzyme and substrate at various concentrations. IC50 values are determined by fitting the inhibition data to a dose-response curve. The assay buffer typically contains Tris-HCl and appropriate cofactors.

| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for DS44960156 typically use cancer cell lines that depend on MTHFD2 activity for proliferation. Cells are treated with DS44960156 at various concentrations for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured using standard assays such as MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or trypan blue exclusion. The compound's ability to inhibit cell proliferation is quantified as the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). Additionally, the effects on nucleotide synthesis and one-carbon metabolism can be assessed by metabolomic analysis. These assays confirm the compound's cellular activity and support its use in cancer research.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of DS44960156 are not extensively documented. As a small-molecule MTHFD2 inhibitor with a molecular weight of 349.34, the compound is expected to have reasonable bioavailability. Its tricyclic coumarin scaffold may influence its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties. The compound's discovery via high-throughput screening and optimization using structure-based drug design suggests that drug-like properties have been considered. Further pharmacokinetic studies are needed to fully characterize its PK profile.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for DS44960156 are not extensively available in the public domain. As a research compound used for cancer studies, DS44960156 has not undergone extensive toxicological evaluation. Standard cytotoxicity assays in cancer cell lines are typically performed to assess antiproliferative effects. In animal studies, tolerability and potential adverse effects would be monitored. Further preclinical toxicology studies would be required to assess safety, determine no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAEL), and evaluate potential off-target effects before clinical development.
