| Targets |
DNA/RNA polymerases and transcription factors. N4-Acetylcytidine triphosphate is a substrate for RNA polymerases and can be incorporated into RNA transcripts. Once incorporated, the N4-acetyl modification (ac4C) influences RNA structure, stability, and translation efficiency.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
N4-Acetylcytidine triphosphate sodium (0.1-2 mM; 24-48 h) suppresses BV2 microglia development [1]. N4-Acetylcytidine triphosphate sodium (0.3–1 mM; 3–6 h) increases the expression of NLRP3 and initiates NFκB signaling [1]. HMGB1 expression is elevated by N4-acetylcytidine triphosphate sodium (0.3–1 mM; 3 h) [1]. (br>
The compound itself has no pharmacological activity; it is a biochemical reagent. In in vitro transcription reactions, it replaces CTP to produce ac4C-modified RNA. The modified RNA has been shown to enhance translation efficiency and RNA stability in cellular assays. |
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo activity is reported for the compound directly. However, ac4C-modified mRNA (produced using ac4CTP) transfected into cells or animals can lead to increased protein expression compared to unmodified mRNA, making it useful for mRNA-based therapies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cell transcription assay is performed using T7 RNA polymerase, a DNA template, and NTP mix where CTP is partially or fully replaced by ac4CTP (0.5-2 mM). The reaction is incubated at 37degC for 2-4 hours. RNA products are analyzed by denaturing PAGE or by LC-MS to confirm ac4C incorporation.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: BV2 microglia Tested Concentrations: 0.1-2 mM Incubation Duration: 24-48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically inhibited BV2 microglia cell growth util cultured for 48 hrs (hours) with a concentration of 0.3 mM. Cell Viability Assay [1] Cell Types: BV2 microglia Tested Concentrations: 0.3 and 1 mM Incubation Duration: 3 and 6 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Increased NLRP3 and NFκB expression at both mRNA and protein levels, activated the NFκB signaling. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: BV2 microglia Tested Concentrations: 0.3 and 1 mM Incubation Duration: 3 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Induced HMGB1 expression and it is necessary for NFkB signaling, NLRP3 expression and persistent HMGB1 expression. For cell studies, RNA transcripts synthesized with ac4CTP are transfected into mammalian cells (e.g., HEK293) using lipofection. After 6-24 hours, protein expression from the modified mRNA is measured by Western blot or luciferase assay. ac4C-modified mRNA typically shows higher translation efficiency. |
| Animal Protocol |
No animal studies are intended for the free nucleotide. However, ac4C-modified mRNA therapeutics (prepared using ac4CTP) have been tested in animal models. For example, modified mRNA encoding a therapeutic protein is injected intravenously or intramuscularly, and protein expression and efficacy are assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The compound is a highly polar nucleotide with three phosphate groups, stabilized as a sodium salt to improve water solubility. It is typically dissolved in nuclease-free water or TE buffer (pH 7.5) at 10-100 mM. It is stable for months at -20degC.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
As a chemical reagent, ac4CTP sodium has low toxicity at the concentrations used for in vitro transcription (1-2 mM). It is not intended for direct administration to animals. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling nucleotides should be followed.
