Product Description
YK-3-237 is a SIRT1 activator targeting mutant p53. YK-3-237 suppresses the proliferation/growth of triple-negative breast cancer/tumor cells.
YK-3-237 is a boronic acid chalcone analog of combretastatin A4 (CA-4) and an activator of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) that targets mutant p53 (mtp53). By activating SIRT1, YK-3-237 reduces acetylation of mutant p53 protein, leading to a significant decrease in the level of mutant p53 protein. It inhibits the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and other tumor types carrying mtp53.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SIRT1
Targets mutant p53 protein via SIRT1 activation. By activating SIRT1, YK-3-237 reduces the acetylation of mutant p53, which promotes its degradation and reduces its oncogenic gain-of-function activities. It also targets tubulin by inhibiting colchicine binding in a concentration-dependent manner, contributing to its anti-proliferative effects via G2/M cell cycle arrest.
ln Vitro
At submicromolar concentrations, YK-3-237 demonstrates anti-proliferative activity against the majority of tested breast cancer cell lines. Breast cancer cell lines expressing mtp53 are specifically inhibited by YK-3-237[1]. With IC50s of 0.160±0.043, YK-3-237 inhibits the growth of HS578T, MDA-MB-453, SUM1315MO2, SUM149PT, BT549, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-436, MDA-MB-468, and HCC1937, which are triple-negative breast cancers. Luminal T47D, MCF7, and ZR-75-1 have IC50s of 1.573±0.370, 2.402±0.256, and 3.822±0.967 µM, respectively. HER2 BT474 and SK-BR-3 are inhibited by YK-3-237, with IC50s of 1.249±0.372 and 0.346±0.066 µM, respectively[1]. In TNBC cell lines, YK-3-237 (0.01-10 µM; 24 hours) deacetylates mtp53[1]. When NRK-49F cells are used to activate renal interstitial fibroblasts, YK-3-237 is a powerful activator of Sirt1[2]. When cells are exposed to YK-3-237, they also exhibit a dose-dependent reduction in the expression of α-SMA and fibronectin, with the highest inhibition observed at 10 μM [2].
At submicromolar concentrations, YK-3-237 demonstrates anti-proliferative activity against the majority of tested breast cancer cell lines, with specific inhibition of mtp53-expressing cell lines. It inhibits cell growth in a panel of leukemia, non-small cell lung, colon, CNS, melanoma, ovarian, renal, prostate, and breast cancer cell lines (GI50s = <0.01-20.9 microM). It induces PARP-dependent apoptotic cell death and arrests the cell cycle at G2/M phase.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data is not extensively reported. YK-3-237 has shown anti-tumor activity in preclinical studies of triple-negative breast cancer. As a SIRT1 activator targeting mtp53, it reduces the level of mutant p53 protein, which leads to decreased tumor cell proliferation. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its anti-tumor efficacy in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free SIRT1 deacetylase assays are performed using purified recombinant human SIRT1 enzyme and a fluorogenic substrate (Ac-Lys-AMC). The enzyme is incubated with substrate, NAD+ (200 microM), and varying YK-3-237 concentrations (0.1-100 microM) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2) for 30 min at 37degC. Developer containing trichostatin A and nicotinamide is added, and fluorescence is measured (Ex/Em=360/460 nm) to calculate SIRT1 activation. Tubulin binding inhibition is assessed by colchicine displacement assay.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: BT549, MDA-MB-468, HS578T, SUM149PT Tested
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10 µM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished both the acetylation of K382 and the level of mtp53 in a dose-dependent manner in mtp53 TNBC cell lines.
Breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, HS578T, MCF7) are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with YK-3-237 (0.01-50 microM) for 48-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. Mutant p53-expressing lines (HS578T, MDA-MB-231) are specifically inhibited with IC50 values of 0.160+/-0.043-0.5 microM. Cell cycle analysis is performed by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Apoptosis is assessed by PARP cleavage and Annexin V/PI staining.
Animal Protocol
No specific animal studies for YK-3-237 are publicly available. For a SIRT1 activator targeting mtp53, potential in vivo models include subcutaneous xenografts of triple-negative breast cancer cells (e.g., MDA-MB-231 or HS578T) in immunocompromised mice (nude or SCID mice). YK-3-237 would likely be administered intraperitoneally (10-50 mg/kg) or orally daily for 2-3 weeks, with endpoints including tumor volume measurement, tumor weight at sacrifice, and immunohistochemical analysis of p53, SIRT1, and acetylation status.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed PK data for YK-3-237 is not publicly available. YK-3-237 has a molecular weight of 372.18, formula C1₉H21BO₇, and purity ≥95%. As a boronic acid chalcone analog, it may have moderate stability in vivo. Solubility and formulation details are not publicly available. Standard PK parameters (half-life, clearance, bioavailability) would need to be determined experimentally.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data is publicly available for YK-3-237. As a SIRT1 activator, potential safety concerns could include SIRT1-mediated effects on metabolism, aging, and cell survival, as SIRT1 has both tumor suppressor and tumor promoter functions depending on context. As a tubulin-binding agent (combretastatin analog), it could cause vascular toxicity and neurotoxicity similar to other tubulin-targeting agents, though no specific data is available.

YK-3-237 is a research chemical not approved for clinical use. It is an important tool for studying the role of mutant p53 in cancer, particularly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which frequently harbors mtp53 mutations and has limited treatment options. By targeting mtp53 through SIRT1 activation, YK-3-237 provides a novel approach to eliminate the oncogenic gain-of-function activities of mutant p53, making it a valuable candidate for further anti-cancer drug development.
