IC50: 2.3 μM (5-LOX)[1]
5-LOX-IN-1 targets the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), a critical enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. By inhibiting 5-LOX, it prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), the first step in leukotriene A4 (LTA4) synthesis. This pathway is central to the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases, including asthma, arthritis, and certain cancers, making 5-LOX a key target for anti-inflammatory drug discovery. |

| ln Vitro |
5-LOX-IN-1 (0-10 μM) inhibits 5-LOX with an IC50 of 2.3 μM[1].
In vitro, 5-LOX-IN-1 is a potent inhibitor of human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). It demonstrates an IC50 value of 2.3 uM. The compound (0-10 uM) inhibits 5-LOX activity in a concentration-dependent manner. This level of potency positions it as a useful tool for cellular studies where blocking the 5-LOX pathway is desired to dissect its role in inflammatory signaling and carcinogenesis. It is intended for use in cancer research. |
| ln Vivo |
Published in vivo activity data for 5-LOX-IN-1 is not documented in the provided literature. Based on its in vitro activity as a 5-LOX inhibitor, it has the potential to be used in animal models of inflammation, pain, and cancer. In vivo studies would be required to evaluate its efficacy, for example, by measuring its effect on reducing leukotriene production in a mouse model of peritonitis or assessing its impact on tumor growth in a xenograft model.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro inhibitory potency of 5-LOX-IN-1 is determined using a cell-free enzyme assay. Recombinant human 5-LOX enzyme is incubated in an assay buffer with increasing concentrations of the inhibitor (e.g., 0.01-100 uM). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the substrate arachidonic acid and cofactors (e.g., ATP and Ca2+). After incubation at 25degC for a set period (e.g., 5-10 minutes), the reaction is quenched. The product, 5-HETE, is extracted and quantified by reverse-phase HPLC or UV absorbance, and the IC50 is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, cell lines such as human neutrophils or the monocytic cell line THP-1 are pre-incubated with 5-LOX-IN-1 at concentrations of 0-10 uM for 15-30 minutes. Cells are then stimulated with a calcium ionophore like A23187 to activate the 5-LOX pathway. After a defined stimulation period (e.g., 10-30 minutes), the reaction is stopped. The concentration of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the cell supernatant is measured using a commercially available ELISA kit to quantify the level of inhibition. Cell viability is assessed via an MTT or LDH assay.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for a generic 5-LOX inhibitor follow established protocols. For example, to test efficacy in a mouse air pouch model, animals are treated orally or intraperitoneally with 5-LOX-IN-1 (doses ranging from 10-100 mg/kg). An inflammatory stimulus (e.g., zymosan A) is injected into the air pouch. After several hours, exudate from the pouch is collected to measure leukotriene B4 levels by ELISA. Tissue samples may be collected for histology to assess inflammatory cell infiltration. PK studies would be performed on plasma samples.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for 5-LOX-IN-1 is not publicly available. The compound's molecular weight is 350.43 g/mol. Its solubility in DMSO is high (100 mg/mL). For in vivo studies, a formulation such as 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, and 45% saline is commonly used to administer lipophilic compounds. Researchers should conduct pilot PK studies to determine key parameters like half-life, Cmax, and oral bioavailability for their specific animal model.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Publicly available toxicology data for 5-LOX-IN-1 is limited. In the in vitro assays used to define its potency (0-10 uM), no overt cytotoxicity is reported, as the readout is the enzymatic activity in cell lysates or supernatants. However, a formal toxicological assessment would be required for any therapeutic use. For research applications, standard laboratory safety guidelines for handling chemical reagents should be followed.
