| 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.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
