Product Description
NIBR-LTSi is a selective LATS kinase inhibitor that activates YAP signaling. NIBR-LTSi promotes proliferation, maintains stemness, and blocks differentiation. IBR-LTSi accelerates liver regeneration after partial and extended hepatectomy.
NIBR-LTSi is a potent, highly selective, and orally active LATS kinase inhibitor. It is a small molecule that activates YAP (Yes‑associated protein) signaling by inhibiting the phosphorylation and inactivation of YAP by LATS kinases. This compound promotes tissue stem cell expansion and regeneration both in vitro and in vivo.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
LATS1 and LATS2 (large tumor suppressor kinases 1 and 2), which are key negative regulators of the Hippo‑YAP signaling pathway. NIBR-LTSi is a selective LATS kinase inhibitor.
ln Vitro
In cell‑free kinase assays, NIBR-LTSi inhibits LATS kinase activity with an IC50 of 1.4 nM in a biochemical CALIPER assay. It robustly reduces YAP phosphorylation, increases proliferation in HEK293A cells, and promotes primary keratinocyte expansion while blocking differentiation in a human 3D skin model. It also promotes liver and kidney organoid formation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, NIBR-LTSi is orally active and expands organoids derived from several mouse and human tissues. It promotes intestinal stem cell expansion, blocks their differentiation, accelerates liver regeneration following hepatectomy, and induces YAP/TAZ‑dependent hepatocyte proliferation, demonstrating strong tissue regenerative potential.
Enzyme Assay
A general cell‑free protocol for LATS kinase inhibition: A radiometric or time‑resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR‑FRET) assay is used. Recombinant LATS1 (5 nM) is incubated with a biotinylated YAP peptide substrate (1 uM) and ATP (10 uM) in kinase buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) with varying concentrations of NIBR-LTSi (0.01‑1000 nM). After 60 minutes at 30degC, the reaction is stopped with EDTA, and phosphorylated product is detected. IC50 is calculated.
Cell Assay
A general cellular protocol for NIBR-LTSi: HEK293A cells are seeded in 12‑well plates. Cells are treated with NIBR-LTSi at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 25 uM for 24‑48 hours. YAP phosphorylation (Ser127) and total YAP levels are assessed by Western blot. Cell proliferation is measured by EdU incorporation assay. For organoid studies, mouse intestinal crypts are cultured in Matrigel and treated with NIBR-LTSi (0.1‑10 uM) for 7‑14 days, and organoid formation efficiency is quantified.
Animal Protocol
General animal protocol for NIBR-LTSi: Male C57BL/6J mice undergo 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) to induce liver regeneration. NIBR-LTSi is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween‑80, 45% saline) and administered via oral gavage at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg once daily for 3‑7 days. Liver weight/body weight ratio is calculated, and hepatocyte proliferation is assessed by Ki‑67 immunohistochemistry and EdU labeling.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General PK protocol for NIBR-LTSi: NIBR-LTSi is orally active with good bioavailability. Male Sprague‑Dawley rats are administered NIBR-LTSi via oral gavage (PO, 10 mg/kg) and intravenous (IV, 2 mg/kg). Blood samples are collected over 24 hours. Plasma concentrations are quantified by LC‑MS/MS. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t1/2, clearance, Vd, oral bioavailability) are calculated.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity protocol for NIBR-LTSi: A 28‑day repeat‑dose oral toxicity study is performed in Sprague‑Dawley rats. NIBR-LTSi is administered at doses of 5, 25, and 100 mg/kg/day. Parameters include clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, ophthalmology, hematology (CBC, differential), serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine), and histopathology of major organs (liver, kidney, spleen, lung, heart, gastrointestinal tract).
