Product Description
DRB18 is a potent pan-inhibitor of glucose transporters (GLUT). DRB18 alters energy-related metabolism in A549 cells by altering the abundance of metabolites in glucose-related pathways. DRB18 can ultimately cause cell arrest in the G1/S phase, increasing oxidative stress and necrotic cell death. DRB18 has anticancer effect.
DRB18 (CAS#: 2863686-81-9) is a potent pan-inhibitor of glucose transporters (GLUTs). It has a molecular formula of C22H23ClN2O2 and a molecular weight of 382.88. DRB18 inhibits glucose uptake in HEK293 cells expressing GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, or GLUT4 with IC50 values of 2.6, 8.8, 4.5, and 0.9 µM, respectively. By altering the abundance of metabolites in glucose-related pathways, DRB18 changes energy-related metabolism in A549 cells. It can eventually lead to G1/S phase arrest, increased oxidative stress, and necrotic cell death. DRB18 exhibits antitumor activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GLUT[1]
The primary targets of DRB18 are glucose transporters (GLUTs), including GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, and GLUT4. GLUTs are membrane proteins that facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells. DRB18 is a pan-GLUT inhibitor that inhibits glucose uptake in cells expressing these transporters. By inhibiting glucose uptake, DRB18 disrupts cellular energy metabolism.
ln Vitro
With an IC50 range from approximately 900 nM to approximately 9 μM, DRB18 (0-10 μM; 30 min) decreases glucose absorption in the HEK293 cell line expressing GLUT1-4 in a dose-dependent manner [1]. Cell cycle arrest is caused by DRB18 (5 and 10 μM; 72 hours) at the G1/S phase transition [1]. In A549 cells, DRB18 (5 and 10 μM; 72 hours) raises ROS levels [1]. In A549 cells, DRB18 (5 and 10 μM; 72 hours) dose-dependently decreases the expression of glycosylated GLUT1 and GLUT2-4 [1].
DRB18 is a potent pan-GLUT inhibitor that inhibits glucose uptake in HEK293 cells expressing GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, or GLUT4 with IC50 values of 2.6, 8.8, 4.5, and 0.9 µM, respectively. It alters the abundance of metabolites in glucose-related pathways and changes energy-related metabolism in A549 cells. DRB18 can eventually lead to G1/S phase arrest, increased oxidative stress, and necrotic cell death. It exhibits antitumor activity.
ln Vivo
For five weeks, DRB18 (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; three times per week) reduced tumor weight and volume by 43% and 44%, respectively[1].
In vivo, DRB18 exhibits antitumor activity. By inhibiting glucose uptake and disrupting cellular energy metabolism, it can inhibit tumor growth and proliferation. Its efficacy would be assessed in animal models of cancer, with endpoints including tumor growth inhibition, analysis of glucose metabolism, and assessment of cell death pathways.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro binding and enzyme activity assays for DRB18 typically involve measuring its ability to inhibit glucose uptake. Glucose uptake assays are performed using HEK293 cells expressing GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, or GLUT4. Cells are incubated with radiolabeled glucose or a fluorescent glucose analog in the presence of increasing concentrations of DRB18, and the inhibition of glucose uptake is measured. The reported IC50 values are 2.6, 8.8, 4.5, and 0.9 µM for GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, and GLUT4, respectively.
