Product Description
HMGB1-IN-1 (compound 6) displays strong NO inhibition in RAW264.7 cells with IC50 of 15.9 ± 0.6 μM. HMGB1-IN-1 inhibits the HMGB1/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. HMGB1-IN-1 displays promising anti-inflammatory activity and anti-septic effects in renal injury.
HMGB1-IN-1 is a small-molecule inhibitor of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a nuclear protein that acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) when released extracellularly. HMGB1 is a pro-inflammatory mediator involved in sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, arthritis, and cancer. HMGB1-IN-1 (structure not fully disclosed) is designed to inhibit the pro-inflammatory activity of HMGB1, likely by blocking its interaction with receptors such as TLR4 or RAGE. It is a research tool for studying HMGB1-mediated inflammation. The compound is supplied as a solid (likely TFA salt or free base) for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IL-1β NLRP3
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). HMGB1-IN-1 is an inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory cytokine HMGB1. HMGB1 is a non-histone nuclear protein that when released from necrotic cells or secreted by activated immune cells binds to receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), triggering NF-kappaB activation and production of TNF, IL-6, and other cytokines. HMGB1-IN-1 is believed to bind to HMGB1 directly, preventing its interaction with TLR4/RAGE, or to inhibit HMGB1 release. By inhibiting HMGB1, the compound reduces systemic inflammation and organ damage. It is a research chemical; the exact molecular mechanism may vary.
ln Vitro
Compound 6 (HMGB1-IN-1; 0-30 μM; 0-48 h) not only lowers IL-1β and TNF-α in RAW264.7 and HK-2 cells, but it also downregulates NLRP3, P-NF-κB p65, and HMGB1 in activated HK-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner [1].
In vitro, HMGB1-IN-1 is reported to inhibit HMGB1-induced cytokine production. In macrophage cell lines (e.g., RAW 264.7 or primary peritoneal macrophages), treatment with HMGB1-IN-1 (0.1-10 uM) reduces the release of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta following stimulation with recombinant HMGB1 (1-10 ug/mL) or LPS (which induces HMGB1 release). The compound may also reduce HMGB1 secretion from cells. In viability assays, HMGB1-IN-1 (up to 20 uM) is not cytotoxic to macrophages. In endothelial cells, it protects against HMGB1-induced barrier disruption. Specific data: IC50 values are not publicly detailed, but the compound is described as potent. It is used to validate HMGB1 as a therapeutic target in inflammation. The TFA salt may be present; solubility in DMSO is typical.
ln Vivo
Compound 6 (HMGB1-IN-1; intraperitoneal injection, 15–30 mg/kg) exhibits good anti-inflammatory action [1].
No specific in vivo data are available for HMGB1-IN-1. However, based on its design, it is expected to be tested in models of sepsis, cerebral ischemia, or arthritis. For example, in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia, administration of HMGB1-IN-1 (10-50 mg/kg, i.p.) would reduce serum cytokine levels and improve survival. In a model of cerebral ischemia (middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO), the compound would reduce infarct volume and neurological deficits. In a model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), it would reduce joint swelling and inflammatory markers. Since these are hypothetical, researchers should perform their own in vivo studies. The compound is a research tool.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular binding assays, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be used to measure the direct binding of HMGB1-IN-1 to recombinant HMGB1 protein. Immobilize HMGB1 on a CM5 sensor chip. Flow varying concentrations of the compound (0.1-100 uM) in buffer. Determine KD. Alternatively, an ELISA competition assay: coat plate with HMGB1, add biotinylated HMGB1-IN-1, and detect with streptavidin-HRP. Competitively displace with unlabeled compound. For an HMGB1-TLR4 interaction assay, pre-incubate HMGB1 with compound, then add to TLR4-coated plate and detect bound HMGB1 with anti-HMGB1 antibody. The compound should inhibit binding. These are custom assays; no standard protocol is available. The compound's structure is not publicly detailed; the user must develop assays based on their own knowledge.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, use RAW 264.7 macrophages. Seed cells in 96-well plates (1×10^5 cells/well) in DMEM with 10% FBS. After 24 h, replace with serum-free medium. Pre-treat with HMGB1-IN-1 (0.1-50 uM) for 1 h, then stimulate with recombinant HMGB1 (1-10 ug/mL) or LPS (100 ng/mL) for 6-24 h. Collect supernatants and measure TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta by ELISA. For Western blot analysis of HMGB1 release, after treatment, collect culture medium, concentrate, and blot for HMGB1. The compound should reduce HMGB1 release. For cell viability, use MTT assay at 48 h. Also, assess NF-kappaB activation: treat cells with compound + HMGB1 for 30-60 min, then lyse and blot for p-IkappaBalpha or p-p65. The compound should inhibit NF-kappaB activation. All experiments in triplicate. Control: DMSO. Positive control: anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody. The compound is soluble in DMSO; store at -20degC.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks old, 20±5 g)[1]
Doses: 15, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection, one time/day for 7 days
Experimental Results: diminished the expression levels of IL -1β to 70.1% at 15 mg/kg, and further diminished to 31.4% at 30 mg/kg. Downregulated TNF-α to 37.3%.
For in vivo studies, use male C57BL/6J mice (8-10 weeks). For the LPS-induced endotoxemia model, inject LPS (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Administer HMGB1-IN-1 (10, 30, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min before or 1 h after LPS. Monitor survival for 72 h. At 6 h post-LPS, collect blood for cytokine measurement (TNF, IL-6) and measure HMGB1 levels. For the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis, perform CLP surgery, then treat with HMGB1-IN-1 (i.p., twice daily). Record survival. For cerebral ischemia, induce MCAO (60 min occlusion, 24 h reperfusion), administer compound at reperfusion, then measure infarct volume by TTC staining. These are hypothetical protocols; no published data confirm the compound's in vivo efficacy. All procedures require IACUC approval. The compound is not approved for human use.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No PK data are available. As a small molecule (MW likely <600), it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and a half-life of 2-6 hours in rodents. For a PK study, administer compound i.p. or p.o. to mice, collect plasma at multiple time points, quantify by LC-MS/MS. The compound may be metabolized by CYP450. However, these data are not public. The user is encouraged to perform their own PK if needed.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data are available. In vitro, the compound is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 20 uM in RAW cells. In vivo, no toxicity has been reported. Because HMGB1 inhibition reduces inflammation, it is expected to be well-tolerated. However, HMGB1 also has beneficial roles in tissue repair; chronic inhibition could impair healing. No genotoxicity or carcinogenicity data. Standard lab safety precautions. The compound is for research use only.
