EC50: 54 nM (furin) Ki: 12 nM (furin)[1]
Furin (a proprotein convertase, PCSK3). SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate is a synthetic inhibitor of furin, with comparable potency against PC6B (Ki=0.004 uM) and PACE4 (Ki=0.041 uM). It shows preferential inhibition of furin over PC7 (Ki=0.595 uM) and over other proteases such as trypsin and MT1-MMP, which are not measurably inhibited. |

| ln Vitro |
In 90 minutes, SR 142948 (1 µM) CHO-hNT1-R cells express c-fos and krox24 less frequently when dihydrochloride is present [1]. Inhibiting the binding of [125I-Tyr3]NT to h-NTR1-CHO and HT 29 cell membranes, SR 142948 (0-1 µM; 1 hour) dihydrochloride demonstrates good antagonistic activity, with IC50s of 1.19 and 0.32 nM, respectively [2]. h-NTR1-CHO and HT 29 cells' NT-stimulated IP1 synthesis is inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by SR 142948 (0-1 µM; 30 min) dihydrochloride [2]. For h-NTR1-CHO cells, SR 142948 (1, 10 nM; 60-80 sec) dihydrochloride inhibits the intracellular calcium mobilization triggered by NT [2].
SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate inhibits furin cleavage of the Pyr-RTKR-AMC substrate with an EC50 of 54 nM in vitro. It blocks furin-dependent conversion of protective antigen-83 (PA83) to PA63 in a dose-dependent manner (0.1-25 uM), protecting cells from anthrax toxin. The compound inhibits furin more potently than trypsin and MT1-MMP, indicating selectivity. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo efficacy data for SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate are limited, but it has been shown to protect cells from anthrax toxin by blocking furin activity. Furin inhibitors are being explored for therapeutic applications in cancer and infectious diseases, as furin activates numerous growth factors and bacterial toxins. SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate serves as a research tool for these studies.

| Enzyme Assay |
Furin enzymatic activity assay: Recombinant human furin (5-10 nM) is incubated with increasing concentrations of SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate (0-1000 nM) in assay buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5% Triton X-100, 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol) for 10 min at 37degC. A fluorogenic furin substrate (e.g., Pyr-RTKR-AMC, 50 uM) is added, and fluorescence is measured (ex=380 nm, em=460 nm) for 30 min. The EC50 is calculated from initial rates. Ki values are determined by varying substrate concentrations.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based furin inhibition assay: Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate (0.1-25 uM) for 1-2 h. To assess furin-dependent processing of anthrax toxin, protective antigen-83 (PA83, 1 ug/mL) is added, and cells are incubated for 2-4 h. Conversion of PA83 to PA63 is detected by Western blotting of cell lysates or conditioned media. Alternatively, cell viability is measured by MTT assay following anthrax toxin challenge.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not directly applicable. SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate is a research tool used in cell-based experiments to study furin function. It may be administered to animal models (mice) to evaluate the role of furin in tumor progression or bacterial toxin pathogenesis. Doses of 1-10 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally have been explored in research settings.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate are limited. As a synthetic furin inhibitor (MW 979.7), the TFA salt is used to enhance solubility and stability. It is soluble in DMSO (30 mg/mL). The compound is typically used in vitro, and its in vivo pharmacokinetics have not been extensively characterized. The tetraTFA hydrate form indicates the presence of four TFA salt groups.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for SSM3 tetraTFA hydrate are limited. It has been reported to protect cells from anthrax toxin without significant toxicity. In vitro, the compound shows no measurable inhibition against trypsin and MT1-MMP, suggesting a good selectivity profile and potentially low toxicity. It is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.
