IC50: 7.68 nM (PD-1/PD-L1 interaction)[1]
BMSpep-57 hydrochloride specifically targets PD-L1, a surface protein expressed on many cancer cells. By binding to PD-L1 with high affinity (Kd of 19 nM as measured by MST), it prevents PD-L1 from engaging with its receptor PD-1 on T cells. This blockade releases the "brakes" on the immune system, allowing for enhanced T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic activity against tumor cells. This makes it a valuable tool for studying PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. |

| ln Vitro |
BMSpep-57 suppresses PD-1/PD-L1 binding up to 98.1% at 300 nM in an ELISA competition experiment. Additionally, it exhibits an IC50 of 7.68 nM for concentration-dependent inhibition of PD-1/PD-L1 binding[1]. When BMSpep-57 is added to SEB-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells at doses of 1 µM and 500 nM, it causes elevated levels of IL-2[1]. At the several tested concentrations, BMSpep-57 (0.2-10 μM; 24 hours) does not have any effect on the viability of Jurkat, CHO, and HepG2 cells[1].
In vitro, BMSpep-57 hydrochloride binds to PD-L1 with Kds of 19 nM and 19.88 nM in MST and SPR assays, respectively. It potently inhibits the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction with an IC50 of 7.68 nM. This is a macrocyclic peptide inhibitor that facilitates T cell function, as demonstrated by an increase in interleukin-2 (IL-2) production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in co-culture assays. |
| ln Vivo |
Detailed in vivo efficacy data for BMSpep-57 hydrochloride are not extensively reported in standard product literature, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool for in vitro immune checkpoint studies. As a macrocyclic peptide, its in vivo activity would be influenced by factors such as proteolytic stability and bioavailability. In vivo studies using mouse tumor models would be required to evaluate its therapeutic potential and in vivo efficacy.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular binding affinity of BMSpep-57 to PD-L1 is typically measured using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Microscale Thermophoresis (MST). In an SPR assay, recombinant PD-L1 protein is immobilized on a sensor chip, and varying concentrations of the peptide are flowed over the surface to calculate the kinetic rate constants (ka, kd) and the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). MST measures the directed movement of molecules in a temperature gradient to quantify binding affinity.
|
| Cell Assay |
A functional cellular assay involves co-culturing human PBMCs or purified T cells with PD-L1 expressing cancer cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of BMSpep-57 hydrochloride. After incubation, T cell activation is assessed by measuring IL-2 and IFN-gamma cytokine levels in the supernatant using ELISA. Cancer cell death can be assessed by flow cytometry or by measuring released lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as a marker of cytotoxicity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Detailed in vivo animal experimental protocols for BMSpep-57 hydrochloride are not standardly described in the literature. Its application is primarily as a research tool for in vitro and ex vivo studies. For a hypothetical in vivo experiment, a xenograft mouse model of human cancer could be used, and BMSpep-57 hydrochloride administered intravenously or intratumorally to assess tumor growth inhibition.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Dedicated pharmacokinetic studies for BMSpep-57 hydrochloride are not available in standard literature. As a macrocyclic peptide, its bioavailability is likely low due to poor membrane permeability and susceptibility to proteases. Optimized for research use, its drug-like properties such as oral bioavailability, half-life, and clearance would need to be characterized for therapeutic development.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Comprehensive toxicological data for BMSpep-57 hydrochloride are not provided in standard product literature. As a research-use compound, standard safety assessments for acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and organ-specific toxicity are not typically described. For laboratory use, standard chemical safety precautions for handling peptides should be followed. No adverse events or toxicities have been reported for the compound in in vitro studies.
