Product Description
MLKL-IN-1 is a covalent MLKL inhibitor (antagonist) with Kd of 50 μM. MLKL-IN-1 (Cpd 5) is a reversible, non-covalent inhibitor targeting the N-terminal executioner domain of human mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), with a dissociation constant (KD​) of 50 ± 4 μM [1]Derived from NMR-guided structure-based optimization, this benzimidazole-class compound evolves from an initial indole-core fragment hit (Cpd 1) through scaffold hopping (to benzimidazole for stability) and sequential introduction of isopropyl, methoxy, and carboxy substituents, achieving a 60-fold affinity enhancement [1]Its binding pocket locates at the N-terminal pole of the MLKL executioner domain—opposite to the Cys86 modification site of covalent inhibitors (e.g., NSA, xanthines)—and is primarily composed of hydrophobic residues (Leu4, Ile7, Leu42, Leu45, Leu58, Met62, Leu116) [1]Notably, it competes with the detergent nonyl-maltoside (NM) for MLKL binding, inhibiting monomeric NM interaction at sub-cmc concentrations, while its binding affinity remains unaffected by Cys86 modification by BI-8925 [1]However, it exhibits poor membrane permeability (PAMPA: 3.1 × 10⁻⁸ cm/s) and no activity in liposome leakage assays, with no detectable binding to mouse MLKL [1]Chemically, it has a molecular formula of C19​H21​N2​O3​, a molecular weight of 325.15 (m/z [M+H]⁺), and is obtained as an enantiopure form via chiral supercritical fluid chromatography [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MLKL-IN-1 (Cpd 5): Human MLKL N-terminal executioner domain (residues 2−154), dissociation constant (\(K_{D}=50 ± 4 μM\)); the enantiomer of Cpd 5 has a \(K_{D}=132 ± 7 μM\); no significant change in binding affinity (\(K_{D}=73 ± 12 μM\)) when MLKL is covalently modified by BI-8925 at Cys86 [1]
ln Vitro
1. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) is a reversible noncovalent binder of the human MLKL N-terminal executioner domain, with a binding affinity (\(K_{D}\)) of 50 ± 4 μM, showing a 60-fold increase compared to the initial fragment hit Cpd 1 (\(K_{D}=933 ± 433 μM\)) [1]
2. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) competes with the detergent nonyl-maltoside (NM) for binding to the MLKL executioner domain: at NM concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (cmc), preincubation with 1 mM Cpd 5 completely inhibits the binding of monomeric NM to MLKL, as evidenced by the absence of chemical shift perturbations (CSPs) in 2D \(^{1} H,^{15} N\) correlation spectra; however, it cannot block the transient interactions between MLKL and NM micelles at NM concentrations above cmc (12 mM) [1]
3. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) does not affect the overall fold and backbone dynamics of the MLKL executioner domain: the root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) between the MLKL/Cpd 5 complex and the unliganded MLKL is 2.3 Å, and the molecular correlation time of the complex (16 ns) is virtually identical to that of the unliganded protein [1]
4. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) shows no binding activity to the mouse MLKL executioner domain, as no CSPs are observed in 2D \(^{1} H,^{15} N\) correlation spectra in the presence of 500 μM Cpd 5 [1]
5. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) has poor membrane permeability with a PAMPA permeability value of 3.1 × 10⁻⁸ cm/s and does not exhibit activity in the liposome leakage assay [1]
6. The binding affinity of MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) to the MLKL executioner domain decreases in the presence of 12 mM NM, with a \(K_{D}=215 ± 21 μM\) [1]
Enzyme Assay
1. NMR-based binding assay for MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5): The assay uses ¹³C/¹⁵N isotope-labeled human MLKL N-terminal executioner domain (residues 2−154) at a concentration of 40 μM in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 mM TCEP. The compound is titrated at concentrations of 25, 50, 125, 250, 1000, and 2500 μM. TROSY-HSQC experiments are performed with 24 complex points in the indirect dimension and 64 scans, with an interscan delay of 1.2 s. Chemical shift perturbation (CSP) is calculated using the formula \(δ = \sqrt{(δ_H - δ_{Href})^2 + (δ_N - δ_{Nref})^2} × 100\), and nonlinear curve fitting of the titration curve is performed to determine the dissociation constant (\(K_{D}\)) [1]
2. NMR costructure determination assay for MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5): Triple resonance NMR experiments (HNCACB, HNccH TOCSY, HNCC TOCSY, HCCh TOCSY, HcCH TOCSY) are used to transfer backbone and side chain assignments from the MLKL/Cpd 3 complex to the MLKL/Cpd 5 complex. Distance restraints are derived from ¹⁵N-edited NOESY (H₂O buffer) and two separate ¹³C-edited NOESY spectra (D₂O buffer) for aliphatic and aromatic carbon-bound protons (mixing time 120 ms). A filtered-¹³C-edited NOESY spectrum (mixing time 200 ms) is recorded to identify intermolecular NOEs. Torsion angle restraints are calculated from chemical shifts using TALOS software, and structure calculation is performed with CYANA software. 100 structures are calculated, and the 20 structures with the best target function are selected for the NMR structure bundle [1]
3. NM competition binding assay for MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5): NMR measurements are performed with the MLKL executioner domain in the absence and presence of Cpd 5 (1 mM) and NM at concentrations of 4 mM (below cmc) and 12 mM (above cmc). 2D \(^{1} H,^{15} N\) correlation spectra are recorded to compare CSPs, and filtered/edited 3D NOESY spectra are used to analyze intermolecular interactions between MLKL, NM, and Cpd 5 [1]

Additional Infomation
1. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) is a benzimidazole-class compound with a molecular formula of \(C_{19}H_{21}N_{2}O_{3}\) and a molecular weight of 325.15 (m/z [M+H]⁺); its enantiopure form is obtained via chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), with a specific rotation \([α]_{D}^{20}+33.5^{\circ}\) (c 1.0, MeOH) [1]
2. The chemical structure of MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) contains iso-propyl, methoxy, and carboxy substituents; the carboxy group points toward the solvent and contributes to binding affinity through interactions with water molecules at the protein surface, showing a synergistic effect with other substituents [1]
3. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) binds to the N-terminal pole of the MLKL executioner domain, a pocket opposite to the Cys86 modification site of covalent inhibitors (NSA, xanthine class); the binding pocket is mainly composed of hydrophobic residues (Leu4, Ile7, Leu42, Leu45, Leu58, Met62, Leu116) and is partially formed upon compound binding [1]
4. The binding of MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) to MLKL is independent of the modification state of Cys86, as its \(K_{D}\) does not change significantly when MLKL is covalently saturated with the xanthine-class inhibitor BI-8925 [1]
5. MLKL-IN-1 (compound 5, Cpd 5) is optimized through NMR-guided structure-based design: starting from the indole core-containing Cpd 1, the core is swapped to benzimidazole (Cpd 2) for stability, followed by introduction of iso-propyl (Cpd 3), methoxy (Cpd 4), and carboxy (Cpd 5) groups to improve binding affinity [1]
