Product Description
NecroIr1 is an iridium(III) complex and a necrosis inducer in Cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cells (A549R). NecroIr1 selectively accumulates in mitochondria, causing oxidative stress and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). NecroIr1 can activate receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), regulating CDK4 expression.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CDK4 RIPK3 RIPK1
RIPK3 (Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3) and MLKL (Mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase). NecroIr1 activates these necroptosis proteins and also regulates CDK4 expression. It can activate RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL.
ln Vitro
In both CFSE-labeled L02 cells and non-labeled A549R cells, NecroIr1 (2 μM; 1-2 d) exhibits subcellular distribution with over 90% accumulation in the mitochondria[1]. The effects of NecroIr1 (1.5 μM and 3 μM; 24 h) include an increase in ROS production and a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential[1]. NecroIr1 (1.5 μM and 3 μM; 24 h) enhances RIPK1 and RIPK3 phosphorylation and activates necroptosis proteins[1]. NecroIr1 (0.75 μM and 1.5 μM; 24 h) arrests the cell cycle in G0/G1 to cause necroptosis[1]. NecroIr1 (0.75-2.0 μM; 24 h) suppresses the growth of A549R cells[1].
In A549R cells, NecroIr1 (1.5 microM; 24 h) increases ROS generation and MMP loss, and increases phosphorylation of RIPK1 and RIPK3. It (0.75 microM; 24 h) arrests the cell cycle at G0/G1 to induce necroptosis and inhibits cell proliferation. At 2 microM, it accumulates over 90% in mitochondria.
ln Vivo
NecroIr1 is expected to show anti-tumor efficacy in murine xenograft models bearing cisplatin-resistant lung tumors. It would likely be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally. Efficacy would be measured as tumor growth inhibition (TGI), with pharmacodynamic studies confirming the induction of necroptosis and modulation of CDK4 expression in tumor tissue.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays would assess the direct binding or inhibition of purified MLKL or RIPK3 by NecroIr1. A typical experimental setup involves incubating the compound with the purified kinase domain of RIPK3 in a reaction buffer containing ATP and a specific substrate peptide. The reaction is stopped, and the level of phosphorylated substrate is measured using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) or luminescence-based detection system to calculate the IC50.
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A549R cells
Tested Concentrations: 1.5 μM and 3 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Increased phospho-RIPK1(p-PIPK1), total RIPK3, and phospho-RIPK3(p-PIPK3) level.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A549R cells
Tested Concentrations: 0 μM, 0.75 μM and 1.5 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 phase in a dose-dependent manner.

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: A549R cells
Tested Concentrations: 0 μM, 0.75 μM, 1.5 μM and 3.0 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.
In vitro cell-based assays are performed using A549R (Cisplatin-resistant) cells. Cells are treated with NecroIr1 (0.75-3 microM; 24 h). Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. To evaluate subcellular localization, cells are stained with MitoTracker dye and NecroIr1 fluorescence is visualized via confocal microscopy. Flow cytometry with JC-1 dye measures MMP loss. Western blotting is used to detect necroptosis markers (p-RIPK1, p-RIPK3, MLKL oligomerization) and cell cycle regulators.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies typically use a subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice. A549R cells are injected into the flank to establish tumors. Once tumors reach a suitable size (e.g., ~100 mm3), animals are randomized and treated intravenously or intraperitoneally with NecroIr1. Tumor dimensions are measured with calipers every 2-3 days. At the study endpoint, tumors are harvested for ex vivo analysis, including histology (H&E), IHC (for CDK4, RIPK3, MLKL), and Western blotting.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Standard pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life, clearance, volume of distribution) for this iridium(III) complex are not extensively cataloged. Following intravenous administration, metal-based complexes like NecroIr1 may exhibit a biphasic clearance profile, with an initial distribution phase and a prolonged terminal elimination phase due to strong protein or tissue binding.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed preclinical toxicity data, such as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL), are not available in standard public databases. As an iridium-based complex that induces oxidative stress, standard safety precautions for handling potential cytotoxic compounds should be observed.

Additional Infomation
NecroIr1 is specifically designed to induce necroptosis in drug-resistant cancer cells, providing a research tool to bypass apoptosis resistance. Its ability to activate RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL while regulating CDK4 places it at the intersection of cell death and cell cycle control, making it useful for studying the molecular crosstalk between these pathways. Along with NecroIr2, it represents a novel class of metal-based necroptosis inducers.
