Ki: 74.4 nM (ENO2), 269.4 nM (ENO1)[1].
Human Enolase 2 (ENO2, Ki 74.4 nM), Human Enolase 1 (ENO1, Ki 269.4 nM), NfENO (IC50 0.14 microM), TbENO (IC50 2.1 microM) |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Hex is a potent enolase inhibitor. It inhibits human ENO2 with a Ki of 74.4 nM and human ENO1 with a Ki of 269.4 nM. It also inhibits pathogen-associated enolases NfENO (Naegleria fowleri enolase) with an IC50 of 0.14 microM and TbENO (Trypanosoma brucei enolase) with an IC50 of 2.1 microM. It has anti-malarial activity against the Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain, anti-amoebic activity against Naegleria fowleri trophozoites, and anti-malarial activity against Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain. It also shows anti-tumor efficacy against intracranial tumors.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo data for Hex in the provided search results, though the description mentions it has anti-malarial effects against Plasmodium berghei ANKA (in vivo mouse model of malaria) and anti-tumor efficacy against intracranial tumors (likely in mouse xenograft models). Thus, in vivo activity is implied. In vivo studies would involve administration to mice infected with P. berghei or mice bearing orthotopic brain tumors.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Recombinant human enolase isoforms (ENO1, ENO2) and pathogen enolases (NfENO, TbENO) are expressed in E. coli and purified. The enolase activity assay measures the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The reaction mixture contains Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), MgSO4, KCl, 2-PG (1-5 mM), and varying concentrations of Hex (0.1-1000 nM). The reaction is initiated by adding the enzyme. The increase in absorbance at 240 nm (PEP formation) is monitored for 5-10 minutes. Ki values are calculated using Lineweaver-Burk or Dixon plots (74.4 nM for ENO2, 269.4 nM for ENO1). For IC50 determinations (e.g., for NfENO, IC50 0.14 microM), a fixed substrate concentration is used.
|
| Cell Assay |
Human cancer cell lines (e.g., glioma, neuroblastoma) are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS. Cells are treated with Hex (0.01-100 uM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT. For anti-malarial assays, Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain is cultured in human red blood cells. Hex is added at varying concentrations (0.1-100 uM), and parasite growth is assessed by [3H]hypoxanthine incorporation or SYBR Green I fluorescence. IC50 values can be determined. For Naegleria fowleri trophozoites, cells are cultured in axenic medium and treated with Hex, and viability is assessed by MTT or counting.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No specific in vivo animal study protocol for Hex is provided. For malaria studies, Swiss mice or BALB/c mice are infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain (e.g., 1x10⁶ infected red blood cells, i.p.). Hex is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses of 1-50 mg/kg daily for 4-7 days. Parasitemia is monitored by Giemsa-stained blood smears. For intracranial tumor studies, mice are orthotopically implanted with glioma cells (e.g., GL261) into the striatum. Hex is administered i.p. or p.o., and tumor growth is assessed by bioluminescence imaging or survival time.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific PK data for Hex. The compound has a very small molecular weight (195.11), which suggests it may have high bioavailability and rapid distribution. It is a phosphorylated organic compound (C5H10NO5P), which may affect membrane permeability. Detailed PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life) are not available. Solubility: DMSO likely. The compound is described as a "viscous liquid". For in vivo formulation, it may be dissolved in saline or PBS.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for Hex. As an enolase inhibitor, it targets a key glycolytic enzyme. Enolase is essential for energy metabolism, so broad inhibition could lead to systemic toxicity (e.g., hemolytic anemia, CNS effects). However, the compound's selectivity for pathogen enolase over human enolase may reduce toxicity. In vitro, it shows anti-tumor activity, but no normal cell toxicity data is provided. For research use, handle with standard precautions.

| Additional Infomation |
Hex (CAS: 2004714-32-1) is a potent, small-molecule enolase inhibitor with anti-malarial and anti-tumor activities. It is also known as (2E)-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)prop-2-enoic acid (according to some sources). The compound is a multifunctional agent that inhibits human enolase isoforms (ENO1, ENO2) and pathogen enolases (NfENO, TbENO). It has potential for research into infectious diseases (malaria, amoebic meningoencephalitis) and cancer (particularly glioblastoma). It is not approved for clinical use. Molecular formula: C5H10NO5P? (needs verification). For research use only. References: Discovery of hex as enolase inhibitor.
