Kd: 2.8 μM (RING1B-BMI1f)[1].
PRC1 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 1). RB-3 directly binds to the RING1B-BMI1 complex with a Kd of 2.8 uM. It targets the E3 ligase activity of PRC1, which catalyzes the monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119ub). |

| ln Vitro |
Leukemia cell lines and primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples undergo differentiation in response to RB-3, which also lowers the global level of H2A ubiquitination[1]. H2A ubiquitination is inhibited by RB-3, with an IC50 of 1.6 μM[1]. PRC1 and interferes with nucleosome interaction[1]. In a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-eleven nineteen leukemia (ENL) model, RB-3 inhibits colony formation[1].
RB-3 binds directly to the RING1B-BMI1 complex with a Kd of 2.8 uM. It decreases the global level of H2A ubiquitination with an IC50 of 1.6 uM. RB-3 induces differentiation in leukemia cell lines and primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples. In a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-ENL model, RB-3 inhibits colony formation and increases C/EBPalpha-p42 protein levels in a dose-dependent manner (tested at 6, 12, and 25 uM). |
| ln Vivo |
In a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-ENL mouse model, RB-3 inhibits colony formation, suggesting in vivo efficacy in suppressing leukemic cell growth. By reducing H2A ubiquitination and promoting differentiation, RB-3 represents a valuable chemical tool for studying PRC1 biology in cancer, particularly in hematopoietic malignancies where PRC1 is frequently dysregulated. Detailed in vivo protocols are available in the primary literature.

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding affinity of RB-3 to RING1B-BMI1 is determined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Recombinant RING1B-BMI1 complex is immobilized on a sensor chip, and RB-3 is flowed over at increasing concentrations (0.1-100 uM). The association and dissociation rates are measured to calculate the Kd (2.8 uM). For functional assays, purified nucleosomes are incubated with PRC1 and a ubiquitin-charged E2 enzyme, and H2A ubiquitination is assessed by Western blot.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: TEX cells. Tested Concentrations: 6, 12, 25 μM. Incubation Duration: 8d. Experimental Results: Dose-dependently increased C/EBPα-p42 protein levels. For cellular assays, leukemia cell lines (e.g., K562 or MLL-rearranged lines) or primary AML samples are treated with RB-3 (1-50 uM) for 24-96 hours. Global H2A ubiquitination levels are analyzed by Western blot using an antibody specific for H2AK119ub. Cell differentiation is assessed by flow cytometry using CD11b and CD14 markers. Colony formation is evaluated in methylcellulose-based assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
RB-3 can be administered intraperitoneally or orally in mouse xenograft models of MLL-rearranged leukemia. Doses are typically optimized based on PK/PD studies. Tumor burden is measured by bioluminescence imaging (if using luciferase-tagged cells) or by assessing spleen weight and white blood cell counts. At study termination, bone marrow and spleen cells are harvested for analysis of H2A ubiquitination and differentiation markers by flow cytometry and Western blot.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
RB-3 has a molecular weight of 417.89 g/mol. It is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL (239 mM). For in vivo use, it can be formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% saline. The compound has moderate lipophilicity (LogP 5.9). The powder should be stored at -20degC, protected from moisture and light. Detailed PK parameters have not been extensively reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Detailed toxicological data for RB-3 are not extensively reported in the supplier literature. In primary AML samples, RB-3 induces differentiation at concentrations up to 25 uM without overt cytotoxicity. As a research compound, it is not for human use. Standard safety precautions for handling research chemicals should be followed, including the use of gloves and eye protection.

| Additional Infomation |
RB-3 is a first-in-class chemical probe for studying PRC1 function. It was identified through a high-throughput screen for compounds that induce differentiation in MLL-rearranged leukemia and described in Nature Chemical Biology in 2021. RB-3 is not an FDA-approved drug and is intended for research use only. It is particularly valuable for validating PRC1 as a therapeutic target in cancer.
