EIF2α activator 1 increases the expression levels of EIF2α downstream proteins ATF and CHOP. EIF2α activator 1 has antiproliferation activity on K562 and PBMC cells, with IC50s of 4.00 and 19.3 μM, respectively.
EIF2α activator 1 (CAS#: 2851820-52-3) is an activator of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation. With a molecular formula of C₂₅H₁₉F₆N₃O₃ and a molecular weight of 523.43, this compound increases the expression levels of eIF2α downstream proteins ATF and CHOP. EIF2α activator 1 exhibits anti-proliferative activity against K562 cells and PBMC cells with IC₅₀ values of 4.00 μM and 19.3 μM, respectively.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
eIF2
EIF2α activator 1 targets the eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), a key regulator of protein synthesis. Phosphorylation of eIF2α at serine 51 inhibits global protein synthesis while selectively promoting the translation of stress-responsive mRNAs such as ATF4, which in turn induces the expression of downstream proteins ATF and CHOP. By activating eIF2α phosphorylation, the compound induces the integrated stress response (ISR), which can lead to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells.
ln Vitro
In vitro, EIF2α activator 1 increases the expression levels of eIF2α downstream proteins ATF and CHOP. The compound exhibits anti-proliferative activity against K562 cells with an IC₅₀ of 4.00 μM and against PBMC cells with an IC₅₀ of 19.3 μM. Its ability to activate eIF2α phosphorylation and induce the integrated stress response makes it a valuable tool for studying the role of eIF2α in cancer and other diseases.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for EIF2α activator 1 are limited. As an activator of eIF2α phosphorylation with anti-proliferative activity, the compound may have potential for in vivo studies in animal models of cancer. Typical in vivo studies involve administration to tumor-bearing mouse models, with assessment of tumor growth inhibition and eIF2α phosphorylation markers.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular in vitro assays, EIF2α activator 1 is evaluated for its ability to activate eIF2α phosphorylation. The compound is incubated with purified eIF2α and its upstream kinases (such as PERK, PKR, GCN2, or HRI), and the phosphorylation of eIF2α is measured using phospho-specific antibodies or radioactive labeling.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, EIF2α activator 1 is tested in cancer cell lines such as K562 cells. Cells are treated with serial dilutions of the compound, and eIF2α phosphorylation is measured by Western blot using phospho-eIF2α (Ser51) antibodies. Expression of downstream proteins ATF and CHOP is assessed. Cell viability and proliferation are measured using standard assays.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, EIF2α activator 1 would typically be evaluated in xenograft mouse models of cancer. Mice bearing established tumors are treated with the compound via oral or intraperitoneal administration. Tumor volumes are measured regularly, and tumor growth inhibition is calculated. eIF2α phosphorylation and downstream protein expression are assessed in tumor tissues at study endpoint. Body weight and general health are monitored to evaluate tolerability.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for EIF2α activator 1 are limited. As a small-molecule activator with a molecular weight of 523.43, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and tissue distribution. The compound is soluble in DMSO and can be formulated for in vivo administration. Further pharmacokinetic studies would be needed to fully characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for EIF2α activator 1 are limited. As an activator of eIF2α phosphorylation that induces the integrated stress response, the compound may have on-target effects on normal cellular protein synthesis and stress responses. Comprehensive toxicology studies including acute and repeat-dose toxicity, genotoxicity, and organ-specific toxicity assessments would be required for therapeutic development. The compound is for research use only and not for human use.
