| Targets |
IACS-8803 diammonium targets STING, an endoplasmic reticulum adaptor protein that plays a critical role in innate immune sensing of cytosolic DNA. Upon activation, STING recruits and activates TBK1, which phosphorylates IRF3, leading to the production of type I interferons (IFN-alpha, IFN-beta) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. STING activation promotes anti-tumor immunity by inducing dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell activation.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free binding assays using purified STING protein, IACS-8803 diammonium demonstrates potent and direct binding to the STING dimer, with a dissociation constant (Kd) in the low nanomolar range (typically <10 nM). The binding affinity is measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF). The compound induces a conformational change in STING that promotes its activation and oligomerization.

| ln Vivo |
In mice with bilateral B16-OVA melanomas, IACS-8803 diammonium (10 µg; intratumoral injection) has the best anticancer activity[1].
IACS-8803 diammonium potently activates the STING pathway in human and mouse cells. In THP-1 human monocytes or mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), treatment with IACS-8803 (0.1-1000 nM) induces concentration-dependent phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3, and upregulation of IFN-beta, CXCL10, and ISG15 mRNA, as measured by qRT-PCR. The compound exhibits an EC50 in the low nanomolar range. |
| Enzyme Assay |
STING binding is evaluated using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays. Recombinant human STING protein (e.g., WT or variant) is immobilized on a sensor chip. IACS-8803 diammonium is injected at varying concentrations (0.1-1000 nM) in running buffer, and binding responses are recorded. The dissociation constant (Kd) is calculated using a steady-state affinity model. Alternatively, a competition TR-FRET assay using a fluorescent STING ligand is performed.

| Cell Assay |
THP-1-Dual™ cells (which report IRF and NF-kappaB activation via secreted luciferases) are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with IACS-8803 diammonium (0-1000 nM) for 24 hours. Supernatants are collected, and luciferase activity (indicating IRF activation) is measured. For qRT-PCR, cells are treated for 6 hours, and RNA is extracted for cDNA synthesis. Gene expression of IFN-beta, CXCL10, and ISG15 is quantified using TaqMan probes normalized to GAPDH. The EC50 is calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In a bilateral B16-OVA melanoma model in mice, IACS-8803 diammonium is administered via intratumoral injection at 10 microg per tumor. Treatment is typically given on days 0, 3, 6, and 9. Tumor growth in both the injected and contralateral (non-injected) tumors is measured by caliper every 2-3 days. The compound induces regression of injected tumors and inhibits growth of distant tumors, indicating a systemic anti-tumor immune response. Survival is significantly prolonged compared to vehicle controls.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
IACS-8803 diammonium has a molecular weight of 726.6 Da. For in vivo studies, the compound is typically formulated in a solution containing DMSO, PEG300, Tween 80, and saline, or in PBS, and administered via intratumoral or intravenous routes. The pharmacokinetic profile shows rapid distribution to lymphoid tissues, including draining lymph nodes and spleen, where STING is highly expressed. The compound is cleared from circulation with a half-life suitable for intermittent dosing (e.g., every 3 days).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
IACS-8803 diammonium is generally well-tolerated at efficacious doses (e.g., 10 microg intratumoral injection) in mice. No significant body weight loss, behavioral changes, or organ toxicity has been reported. At higher doses, STING activation can induce systemic inflammatory responses characterized by elevated cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma) and flu-like symptoms. Dose-related injection site reactions (erythema, swelling) may occur. Formal GLP toxicology studies are required for clinical development.
