Galectin-8
Galectin-8 N-terminal domain (Gal-8N), a carbohydrate-binding protein (lectin) with tandem CRDs (N-terminal and C-terminal) that bind beta-galactoside-containing glycoconjugates, regulating cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and immune responses. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Galectin-8N-IN-1 (compound 19a) is a potent and selective galectin-8N inhibitor with a Kd value of 1.8 uM. It is a galectin-8N ligand that selectively targets the N-terminal CRD, disrupting galectin-8-mediated cell adhesion and signaling processes. It can be used to study galectin-8's role in immune cell activation and cancer cell migration.
|
| ln Vivo |
No published in vivo data. As a selective Gal-8N inhibitor, it would be expected to modulate galectin-8 functions in vivo, such as reducing tumor growth, inhibiting metastasis, or modulating immune responses, though this remains to be validated for this specific compound.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A direct binding fluorescence polarization (FP) assay is used: recombinant human Gal-8N protein is incubated with a fluorescently labeled lactose probe in the presence of serially diluted Gal-8N-IN-1 (0.1-1000 uM). The Kd is calculated from the competition curve. Selectivity over Gal-8C (C-terminal domain) is assessed using the same assay.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, immune cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) or cancer cell lines are treated with serial dilutions of Gal-8N-IN-1 (1-100 uM). Gal-8N-mediated functions such as cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins (fibronectin, laminin) or cell migration (transwell assay) are assessed. Binding of Gal-8N to cell surface glycans can be detected by flow cytometry using a labeled recombinant Gal-8N probe in the presence of the inhibitor.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No published in vivo data. For research use, a syngeneic mouse tumor model (e.g., melanoma or breast cancer) can be used to assess anti-metastatic activity. Gal-8N-IN-1 is administered at 5-30 mg/kg i.p. daily for 2-4 weeks. Primary tumor growth and lung metastasis are evaluated. Immune cell infiltration into tumors (by flow cytometry) and serum cytokine profiles (by ELISA) are also analyzed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Gal-8N-IN-1 has a molecular weight of 529.39 g/mol and a formula of C22H22Cl2N2O7S. DMSO solubility is ≥50 mg/mL (94.45 mM). Detailed PK parameters are not publicly available; as a small molecule, PK properties (half-life, oral bioavailability) are unknown but can be assessed for research purposes.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Detailed toxicological profiles are not publicly available. As a selective Gal-8N inhibitor, no severe toxicities are expected at efficacious doses based on the absence of major safety concerns with other galectin inhibitors. No in vivo toxicity studies have been reported.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
