Ki: 71 nM (MIF)[1]
MIF (Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor). |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
At 2 μM and 0.2 μM, MD13 degrades MIF by 91±5% and 71±7%, respectively. By binding to E3 ligase cereblon, MD13 causes MIF degradation[1]. A549 cancer cells' ability to proliferate is inhibited by MD13 (0–20 μM; 72 hours)[1]. In A549 cells, MD13 (1–5 μM; 48 h) stops the cell cycle at the G2/M phase[1]. ERK signalling is inhibited by MD13 (2 μM; 6-48 h)[1].
MD13 is a MIF-directed PROTAC degrader with a Ki of 71 nM and DC50 <100 nM. It induces MIF degradation with a Dmax (maximum degradation) of 92% after 6 hours of treatment. MD13 reduces cellular MIF protein levels, arrests cells at the G2/M phase, and inhibits the proliferation of A549 lung carcinoma cells. It also inhibits the growth of A549 cell 3D spheroids, demonstrating anti-cancer activity. |
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo activity data for MD13 is publicly available. PROTAC degraders typically show improved in vivo efficacy compared to traditional inhibitors due to sustained target degradation. MIF degradation in vivo could potentially reduce tumor growth, inflammation, and metastasis in murine models, but specific data for MD13 is not reported.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Not available. A generic MIF binding affinity assay for PROTACs is performed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). For SPR: Recombinant human MIF is immobilized on a sensor chip. MD13 (0.1 nM-10 microM) is injected in running buffer (PBS-T, pH 7.4, 0.01% DMSO). Association and dissociation rates are measured, and Ki (71 nM) is calculated (KD = koff/kon). For degradation assays, HEK293T cells expressing cereblon are treated with MD13 (0-20 microM, 1-24 h), and MIF protein levels are measured by Western blot using anti-MIF antibody. DC50 and Dmax (92% at 6 h) are determined by densitometry.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A549 cells Tested Concentrations: 0-20 μM Incubation Duration: 12 h Experimental Results: Caused depletion of MIF protein. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: A549 cells Tested Concentrations: 2 μM Incubation Duration: 6, 24 or 48 h Experimental Results: Inhibited ERK phosphorylation. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Types: A549 cells Tested Concentrations: 0-20 μM Incubation Duration: 72 h Experimental Results: Inhibited the growth of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect reached about 50% inhibition of cell proliferation at a concentration of 20 µM. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Types: A549 cells Tested Concentrations: 1, 2, or 5 µM Incubation Duration: 48 h Experimental Results: Dose-dependently induced cell cycle arrest at the G2 /M phase. A549 human lung carcinoma cells are seeded in 6-well plates (2×10⁵/well) in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS and incubated for 24 h. Cells are treated with MD13 (0-20 microM) for 6-24 h. Cell lysates are collected and analyzed by Western blot with anti-MIF, anti-cereblon, and anti-beta-actin (loading control) antibodies. For proliferation assays, A549 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (5×103/well) and treated with MD13 (0-20 microM) for 48-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. For cell cycle analysis, A549 cells are treated with MD13 (0-10 microM) for 24-48 h, fixed with 70% ethanol, stained with propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry for cell cycle distribution (G1, S, G2/M phases). For 3D spheroid assays, A549 cells are seeded in ultra-low attachment 96-well plates (1×103/well) and cultured for 7 days to form spheroids, then treated with MD13 for 72 h. Spheroid size is measured by light microscopy and image analysis. |
| Animal Protocol |
No animal protocol is published. Generic protocol for PROTAC degraders in vivo: female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks) are injected subcutaneously with A549 cells (5×10⁶ in 100 microL PBS). When tumors reach ~100 mm3, mice are randomized (n=8-10/group). MD13 is formulated in 10% DMSO/40% PEG300/5% Tween-80/45% saline or 0.5% methylcellulose and administered intraperitoneally or orally at 10-50 mg/kg daily for 2-3 weeks. Tumor volumes are measured biweekly. At termination, tumors are harvested and analyzed for MIF protein levels by Western blot and immunohistochemistry (to confirm target degradation in vivo). Plasma and tissue samples are collected for PK/PD analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No PK data for MD13 is publicly available. Generic PK for PROTAC molecules (MW ~650-1000 Da): oral bioavailability is often low (<20%) due to high molecular weight, polar surface area, and efflux transporter liability (P-gp, BCRP). Half-life is typically short (1-3 h) in mice. Intraperitoneal or intravenous administration may be preferred for in vivo studies. Degradation activity may persist beyond PK half-life due to sustained MIF protein turnover delay. Protein binding is typically high (>90%).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data reported for MD13. Generic toxicity for PROTACs: ICR mice (5/sex/group) receive a single intraperitoneal dose of MD13 at 10, 30, 100 mg/kg. Animals are observed for 14 days for mortality, clinical signs, body weight, and food consumption. At termination, blood is collected for hematology (CBC, differential) and serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine, total protein). Gross necropsy and histopathology of major organs (liver, kidney, spleen, heart, lung, GI tract, brain) are performed. Potential toxicities associated with MIF degradation (e.g., immune modulation) and cereblon engagement (e.g., thalidomide-like developmental toxicity) should be evaluated.

| Additional Infomation |
MD13 is the first reported MIF-directed PROTAC degrader, representing a novel therapeutic strategy that moves beyond traditional tautomerase inhibition to disrupt key inflammation- and cancer-related protein-protein interactions involving MIF. Developed by Dekker and colleagues, MD13 is a research tool for MIF biology and for validating MIF degradation as a therapeutic approach. MD13 is not FDA-approved and has not entered clinical trials. It is protected under license from Arvinas (PROTAC® is a registered trademark of Arvinas Operations, Inc.). MD13 is available for laboratory research use only.
