| Targets |
LM-41 targets TEAD (TEA domain) transcription factors, with particular affinity for TEAD4. It is a covalent inhibitor of TEAD4. Inhibition of TEAD disrupts the Hippo signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in organ size control, tissue homeostasis, and tumorigenesis. LM-41 strongly reduces the expression of TEAD target genes including CTGF, Cyr61, Axl, and NF2.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, LM-41 functions as a TEAD inhibitor. It strongly reduces the expression of TEAD target genes CTGF, Cyr61, Axl, and NF2. At a concentration of 10 µM, LM-41 significantly inhibits the migration of human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. It is also noted to have potential anticancer activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
Specific in vivo activity data for LM-41 are not detailed in the available literature. However, its potent in vitro activity as a TEAD inhibitor and its ability to inhibit breast cancer cell migration suggest potential for in vivo efficacy in cancer models. As a TEAD inhibitor, it may have applications in studying Hippo pathway-related cancers.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular binding assays for LM-41 would typically involve measuring its binding affinity to TEAD4. These assays can be performed using techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) with purified TEAD4 protein. As a covalent inhibitor, its binding kinetics and mechanism of action can be characterized in detail.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for LM-41 are performed using cancer cell lines, particularly human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Cells are treated with LM-41, and the expression of TEAD target genes (CTGF, Cyr61, Axl, and NF2) is measured by qRT-PCR or Western blotting. Cell migration is assessed using wound healing or transwell migration assays at concentrations such as 10 µM.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for LM-41 would typically be conducted in mouse models of cancer, such as breast cancer xenografts. The compound would be administered via intraperitoneal or oral routes, and endpoints would include tumor growth inhibition, assessment of TEAD target gene expression in tumors, and evaluation of metastasis.
