Product Description
IL-4-inhibitor-1 (compound 52) is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of IL-4 with EC50 of 1.81 µM.
IL-4-inhibitor-1 (CAS#: 1332184-63-0) is a first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor of interleukin-4 (IL-4), featuring a nicotinonitrile scaffold with micromolar affinity for the cytokine. It is a valuable research tool for studying asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other IL-4-driven Th2-mediated inflammatory diseases. The compound selectively disrupts type II IL-4 signaling in cells and represents a novel approach to modulating immune responses in hypersensitive conditions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
EC50: 1.81 µM (IL-4)[1].
IL-4 (Interleukin-4). The compound binds directly to the IL-4 cytokine with a Kd value of 1.8 μM and inhibits IL-4 activity in cell-based assays. It exhibits selectivity for IL-4 over IL-13 (EC50 = 18.2 μM). The inhibition of IL-4 binding to its receptor (IL-4Rα) suppresses downstream JAK-STAT6 pathway activation.
ln Vitro
Compound 52, known as IL-4-inhibitor-1, showed functional disruption of type II IL-4 binding in a cellular environment with low micromolar affinity[1]. Compound 52, also known as IL-4-inhibitor-1, demonstrates a dose-dependent decrease in pSTAT-6 levels, with an EC50 value of 3.1 µM. However, it had no effect on STAT-6 levels[1].
IL-4-inhibitor-1 displays low micromolar affinity and exhibits functional disruption of type II IL-4 binding in a cellular context. It inhibits IL-4 activity in a cell-based reporter assay with an EC50 of 1.81 μM. The compound demonstrates dose-dependent reduction in pSTAT-6 levels with an EC50 value of 3.1 μM in THP-1 monocytes, indicating inhibition of the IL-4-JAK1-STAT6 signaling pathway, but does not affect total STAT-6 levels.
ln Vivo
No in vivo activity data has been reported for IL-4-inhibitor-1 in the available literature. As a small-molecule research compound, its in vivo efficacy, pharmacokinetic properties, and tolerability in animal models have not been characterized. Further preclinical studies would be required to evaluate its therapeutic potential in disease models of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other IL-4-driven inflammatory conditions.
Enzyme Assay
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or similar biophysical assays are used to measure the direct binding affinity between IL-4-inhibitor-1 and recombinant IL-4 protein. The compound is titrated across immobilized IL-4 or vice versa to determine the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd). For example, binding assays can determine a Kd value of 1.8 μM for the interaction with IL-4. Competitive binding experiments may also be performed to assess selectivity against related cytokines such as IL-13.
Cell Assay
Cell-based reporter assays are employed to evaluate the functional inhibition of IL-4 signaling. THP-1 human monocytic cells are stimulated with IL-4 in the presence of increasing concentrations of IL-4-inhibitor-1 (typically 0.1-100 μM). After incubation, the inhibition of STAT6 phosphorylation (pSTAT-6) is measured by Western blot or phospho-flow cytometry to determine the EC50. Alternatively, IL-4-dependent reporter cell lines expressing STAT6-responsive luciferase constructs can be used to quantify inhibition with an EC50 of 1.81 μM.
Animal Protocol
No animal experiments have been reported for IL-4-inhibitor-1 in the available literature. For small-molecule cytokine inhibitors of this class, typical in vivo efficacy studies would involve murine models of allergic airway inflammation (e.g., ovalbumin-induced asthma) or atopic dermatitis (e.g., MC903-induced skin inflammation), with compound administered via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection, followed by assessment of inflammatory cell infiltration, cytokine levels, and histological analysis of target tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of IL-4-inhibitor-1 have not been reported in the available literature. As a small-molecule compound with molecular weight 321.31 g/mol, it is expected to have oral bioavailability if optimized. Solubility data indicates good solubility in DMSO (50-90 mg/mL) and moderate solubility in ethanol (10 mg/mL). Powder stability is 3 years at -20°C and 2 years at 4°C. In solvent, stability is 6 months at -80°C and 1 month at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data has been reported for IL-4-inhibitor-1 in the available literature. As a research-use-only compound, standard safety precautions should be observed when handling. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use. Preliminary toxicity screening would typically involve assessment of cell viability in relevant cell lines, CYP450 inhibition profiling, and hERG channel binding studies to evaluate potential cardiotoxicity risks prior to in vivo studies.
