| Targets |
SQLE-IN-1 targets squalene epoxidase (SQLE), a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway that catalyzes the conversion of squalene to 2,3-oxidosqualene. By inhibiting SQLE, the compound disrupts cholesterol synthesis, leading to anti-tumor effects. The inhibition of SQLE results in increased expression of the tumor suppressor PTEN and suppression of PI3K and AKT signaling. The compound has demonstrated activity against hepatocellular carcinoma.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that SQLE-IN-1 is a potent inhibitor of squalene epoxidase (SQLE). It inhibits the proliferation and migration of Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The compound inhibits cellular cholesterol generation, increases the expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN, and suppresses PI3K and AKT protein expression. These activities contribute to its anti-tumor effects. The compound is supplied with high purity (>98%) for in vitro investigations.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of SQLE-IN-1 is inferred from its anti-tumor activity and mechanism of action as an SQLE inhibitor. By inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and modulating PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling, the compound is expected to have anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. Detailed in vivo efficacy data from animal models, including tumor growth inhibition studies in hepatocellular carcinoma xenografts, are not extensively documented in the available literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for SQLE-IN-1 involves measuring its inhibitory activity against squalene epoxidase (SQLE). The assay typically uses purified recombinant SQLE enzyme incubated with the compound at varying concentrations and the substrate squalene. Enzyme activity is measured by quantifying the conversion of squalene to 2,3-oxidosqualene using methods such as HPLC or mass spectrometry. IC50 values are determined by plotting percentage inhibition against compound concentration.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for SQLE-IN-1 are conducted using Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and cell proliferation is measured using MTT or CCK-8 assays. Cell migration is assessed using wound-healing or transwell assays. Cholesterol levels are quantified biochemically. PTEN, PI3K, and AKT protein expression and phosphorylation are assessed by Western blot. Cytotoxicity is evaluated using standard cell viability assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for SQLE-IN-1 would typically be conducted using xenograft mouse models implanted with Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Tumor-bearing mice would be administered the compound via appropriate routes, and tumor growth inhibition would be monitored. Cholesterol levels, PTEN expression, and PI3K/AKT signaling would be assessed in tumor tissues. Pharmacokinetic parameters would be determined from plasma samples. However, detailed protocols and efficacy data are not available from the search results.
