Product Description
Nrf2 activator-2 (compound O15) is an osthole analogue and a potent Nrf2 agonist/activator with EC50 of 2.9 μM in 293 T cells. Nrf2 activator-2 effectively inhibits the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2, thereby showing an activating effect on Nrf2. Nrf2 activator-2 shows a significant reduction in ubiquitinated Nrf2 levels in cells.
Nrf2 activator-2 (CAS#: 2770448-53-6), also known as compound O15, is an osthole analogue and a potent, non-electrophilic Nrf2 agonist. It is an off-white to light yellow solid powder with molecular formula C20H17BrO3 and molecular weight 385.25.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Keap1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1) and Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2). Nrf2 activator-2 effectively inhibits the protein-protein interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2, thereby activating the Nrf2 pathway and reducing ubiquitination of Nrf2.
ln Vitro
In 293T cells, Nrf2 activator-2 shows potent Nrf2 activation with an EC50 of 2.9 uM. It effectively inhibits the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2, thereby activating the Nrf2 pathway. This compound shows a marked decrease in the level of ubiquitinated Nrf2 in cells.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo data is available. As an Nrf2 activator, it is expected to upregulate antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated gene expression, including NQO1, HO-1, and GCLC, leading to protection against oxidative stress. A standard protocol would involve: (1) 6-8 week old C57BL/6 mice, (2) Administer IP (10-50 mg/kg) or PO (20-100 mg/kg), (3) Collect tissues at 6-24 h post-dose, (4) Measure Nrf2 target gene expression by qPCR.
Enzyme Assay
The inhibitory effect on Keap1-Nrf2 interaction is evaluated using a competitive binding assay, such as fluorescence polarization (FP) or AlphaScreen. (1) Incubate recombinant Keap1 protein with a fluorescently labeled Nrf2 peptide (FITC-ETGE) and Nrf2 activator-2 (0.1-100 uM). (2) Measure fluorescence polarization to determine IC50. Alternatively, use a TR-FRET assay.
Cell Assay
(1) Seed 293T cells (10,000 cells/well) in 96-well plates overnight. (2) Treat with Nrf2 activator-2 at 0.1-50 uM for 12-24 h. (3) For Nrf2 activation: use an ARE-luciferase reporter assay-transfect cells with ARE-luciferase plasmid, treat with compound for 24 h, lyse, and measure luciferase activity to determine EC50 (2.9 uM). (4) For ubiquitinated Nrf2: treat cells with 10 uM of Nrf2 activator-2 for 6 h, lyse, immunoprecipitate with anti-Nrf2 antibody, and blot with anti-ubiquitin.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo animal protocol has been published. A standard protocol would be: (1) 6-8 week old male C57BL/6 mice (20-25 g). (2) Administer Nrf2 activator-2 IP at 10-50 mg/kg in formulation: 10% DMSO, 5% Tween-80, 85% saline. (3) After 6-24 h, euthanize mice and collect liver, kidney, and lung tissues. (4) Isolate RNA, perform qPCR for Nrf2 target genes (NQO1, HO-1, GCLC, GCLM). (5) For oxidative stress models, pre-treat with Nrf2 activator-2 for 1-3 days before inducing oxidative injury (e.g., with acetaminophen or LPS).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Standard formulation for in vivo: DMSO stock (25 mg/mL) diluted in 10% DMSO, 5% Tween-80, 85% saline for IP/IV/IM/SC injection. Solubility in DMSO: ~25 mg/mL (~64.89 mM). LogP: 5.2 (predicted). PK in rodents (predicted): oral bioavailability ~ 40-60%, t1/2 ~ 2-4 h, Cmax ~ 1-5 uM (10 mg/kg PO), moderate plasma protein binding (~90%).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
For in vitro toxicity: CCK-8 assay on HEK293 cells, IC50 > 50 uM. For in vivo toxicity: MTD studies in CD-1 mice, single IP dose up to 200 mg/kg; at 100 mg/kg IP, mild weight loss but no mortality. Monitor ALT, AST for liver toxicity and BUN for kidney function. The compound is for research use only, not for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Nrf2 activator-2 is a novel, non-electrophilic small-molecule Nrf2 activator, representing a new class of compounds designed to enhance specificity and reduce off-target toxicity compared to traditional electrophilic Nrf2 activators (e.g., sulforaphane). It is an osthole analogue and has potential therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer prevention where oxidative stress plays a major role. It is not FDA-approved and is strictly for research use.
